Adams is of Jamaican descent and has rapped since his teenage years. Along with co-writing many of the Peas' hit songs, he's also had a solo career featuring multiple top 20 hit singles as well as collaborations with various artists such as Mick Jagger and Britney Spears among many others.
When William was sixteen years old, he started rapping in late 1991 under the name "Will-1X" after being discovered by Compton rapper and former N.W.A. leader Eazy-E and signed a deal to Eazy's Ruthless Records. will.i.am's first rap song was "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas" from Eazy-E's 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick. Shortly after Eazy-E's death in 1995, Will left Ruthless to start a group that would later be called the Black Eyed Peas with fellow rappers Taboo and apl.de.ap.
After the addition of singer-songwriter Fergie, the group shot into mainstream pop consciousness with a set of hit singles in the mid-00s, popularity that continues to this day. The Black Eyed Peas' producer is Sergio Mendes, an internationally successful Brazilian musician and jazz aficionado. In September 2007, will.i.am took a major step into a solo career identity by joining with his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), on a pilot scheme to reward certain file-sharing with cash incentives, including will.i.am tracks from his then upcoming release Songs About Girls.
In total, he has released four solo albums: Lost Change (2001), Must B 21 (2003), Songs About Girls (2007), and #willpower (2013). Although often facing mixed critical reviews, he's experienced significant commercial success, including a set of popular singles. His solo performances, featuring collaborations with a wide group of artists including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Phife Dawg, Snoop Dogg, and Nicole Scherzinger, are perhaps best summed up in the international top 20 mega-hit "Scream & Shout".
Will.i.am was also recently cast as John Wraith in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel to the X-Men movie series. And if one enjoyed Madagascar 2's chunky hippo, Moto Moto, then one should know that the deep voice belonged will.i.am., who came in after he was ''pimped'' out to the directors by his friend and sometimes collaborator Justin Timberlake.
Before joining the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. In 2001, he began designing his own signature clothing line, i.am, which made its official debut in 2005 at the Magic apparel trade show in Las Vegas. In 2007, Will.i.am teamed up with Blue Holdings to design a premium denim collection, i.am Antik, that had its debut on the Project Show in Las Vegas. He has also designed clothing for the Black Eyed Peas.
In January 2008, will.i.am helped write a song, "Yes We Can", in support of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign of Barack Obama, which in turn became a music video directed by Jesse Dylan. The lyrics of the song are composed almost entirely of excerpts from Obama's speech on January 8, 2008, following the New Hampshire presidential primary election. The video features appearances from numerous celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, Hill Harper, Amber Valletta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger, Nick Cannon, Bryan Greenberg, Common and first appeared on the website for Dipdive, and within a week of its appearance racked up three million views, and over four million views on Youtube.
On February 29, 2008, a second video titled "We Are The Ones" was released on Dipdive and YouTube. It included cameo appearances from Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, John Leguizamo, Regina King, Tyrese Gibson, Eric Mabius, Tichina Arnold, Adrienne Palicki, comedian George Lopez, and singers Macy Gray, Zoe Kravitz and Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo. The video features everyone chanting "O-BA-MA" as a portrayal as their hopes and wishes for Obama and his presidential campaign.
In 2013, will.i.am released his album "#thatpower".

We Know
will.i.am Lyrics
Hey
Um, I was just calling to see if you’re in town
Dont call me back
I’ll call you again at like 3 tonight
Bye
3
Shorty she don’t really fuck with me
She don’t like my music or how I sing
She don’t like the way I dress
And she hate that my hair a mess
Never seen baby out on the scene
I'm popular but that don’t mean a thing
She never ask me about where I been
And I never ask her about him
Probably wouldn’t recognize each other in the a.m.
We don’t mind cause we never staying
Matter of fact we ain’t spoke in a week
Half of the act is control the mystique
Phones off when we link up
Clothes off with no hamper
We do anything we can think of
Shit last time I had her in handcuffs
One time she told me I was handsome
While I walked off pulling my pants up
I'm just glad she ain’t a dancer
Cause Id be throwing them bands up
I'd be broke
But I almost don’t care
‘Long as she there
Waiting for me in that white underwear
Cum a few times and we leaving from here
And we both know
That if I see her in the streets she’s just a stranger
And we both know
That if she sees me in the streets I'm just a stranger
And we both know
That if I see her in the streets she’s just a stranger
And we both know
That if she sees me in the streets I'm just a stranger
Stranger
First time we met up we handled biz
Never thought I'd hear from her again
No mans ever known her body like I do
But its crazy cuz like we ain’t even friends
She don’t know my real name
Just the pleasure I give
And I don’t ask about her day
I don’t even know where she lives
And she never wanna tell me about her about her problems
And I never gotta tell her I'm the one to solve em
Only wanna know if I'm in town tonight
Cuz if I am she expecting pipe
This ain’t even no hook up
Look in her eyes when I look up
She push down and I push up
Couple blunts getting cooked up
Whole bedroom getting shook up
Fuck up her hair and her make up
In half the time that it took her
To get herself right and just look good
She told me she ain’t got my number saved
I told her shut up n kiss me
Rule number one is to stay in your lane
Rule number two never miss me
And we both know
That if I see her in the streets she’s just a stranger
And we both know
That if she sees me in the streets I'm just a stranger
And we both know
That if I see her in the streets she’s just a stranger
And we both know
That if she sees me in the streets I'm just a stranger
Stranger
Shorty don’t get me started then you ain’t never gon’ leave
Chill for the private party shorty you ain’t never gotta leave
I’ll be showing your body things that you’d never believe
Came as soon as I started and you lost count after 3
Every time you riding me baby you know you own it
Hadn’t even said How you been? You already on it
First time you was nervous but bitch you knew when we started
That you ain’t going nowhere else cause I'm the one that own it
Um, I was just calling to see if you’re in town
Dont call me back
I’ll call you again at like 3 tonight
