William James Adams, Jr. (born March 15, 1975), known professionally as will.i.am, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, DJ, record producer, actor, and philanthropist, best known as a founding member of Music/TheBlackEyedPeas.

He started his music career in eighth grade, when he met future bandmates Allan Pineda (apl.de.ap) and Dante Santiago. They established a group, Atban Klann, and performed around UsefulNotes/LosAngeles for a while. In 1992, they were discovered by rapper and producer Music/EazyE, who signed them on to his own record label, Ruthless Records. They began recording their first album, but following Eazy-E's death in 1995, they renamed themselves the Black Eyed Pods, before later settling on "Black-Eyed Peas". Following a few member changes, the group found success.

In addition to his work with the Black-Eyed Peas, Will also has several successful side careers. In 2001, he released his solo debut, ''Lost Change'', with more to follow in the coming years. As a record producer, he has worked with many other artists, including Music/JustinBieber, Music/LadyGaga, Music/NickiMinaj, Music/JustinTimberlake, and many others. As an actor, he has appeared in a number of television shows and feature films, and served as a mentor on the ''Series/TheVoice'' UK and Australia.
