Biography
Notable for their skillful mixing such genres as hip-hop, R&B and jazz, and thought provoking, profound lyrics, the American band The Black Eyed Peas are entitled to be one of the best representatives of the world pop-music. The lineup of this LA-based outfit consists of Allen Pineda Lindo, known as apl.de.ap, Jamie Gomez, giving the moniker Taboo, William James Adams, who picked the stage name will.i.am, and the only female member, Fergie. The story of the group started in 1989 after will.i.am met apl.de.ap. and both decided to form a band under the title Atban Klann. The duet performed nicely in Los Angeles and signed a contract with Ruthless Records in 1992. However, this company failed to release the debut album by the two musicians and in 1995 they started looking for a new label. Around the same time, the group grew to the trio’s size after Taboo joined them, and was renamed to The Black Eyed Peas.
