==Music career==

===1988–2000: Formations and The Black Eyed Peas===
] in June 2009]]
will.i.am's music career began in the summer of 1988, when as an eighth-grader, he met up with fellow rapper Allan Pineda (]) and fellow student Dante Santiago. They began performing together around Los Angeles and were soon discovered by rapper/entrepreneur ], who signed them to his label ] in 1992. At the time, Will was known as "Will 1X". The Atban Klann's first ever official track, "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas", was included on Eazy-E's EP '']''. After this, the trio began recording an album, "Grass Roots", with the help of producers Mookie Mook and DJ Motiv8, however, the album was never released, due to Eazy-E's death in 1995. After Eazy's tragic death, Atban Klann changed their name to the Black Eyed Pods, and Will replaced Dante with Jaime Gomez, better known under his stage name of Taboo. In 1997, they once again changed their name, this time to ], and began recording their first album, '']'', with the help of soul singer ]. They were soon signed to ], and released their debut single, "]", in early 1998.

Following the release of ''Bridging the Gap'', Will began recording his first solo release, '']'', which was the official soundtrack to the film of the same name. Featuring collaborations with Medusa, ] and Terry Dexter, the album was a critical success.

In November 2001, work began on a third Black Eyed Peas album, '']''. Development of the album began on November 2, 2001 and was released just under two years later in 2003. At the time of development, only will.i.am, ] and ] were to feature on the album. During the production of "]" (the second single released from the album), they realized that a female vocal would work well with the song. Originally, ] (lead singer of ]) was approached to make a guest appearance on the record. She was forced to decline because she already was signed to a contract with ]. Danté Santiago then introduced ] to Will, who was impressed with her vocal talents. She immediately formed a bond with the band and became a permanent member of the Peas and her photo was printed onto the album cover. Nine out of the fourteen tracks were composed by lyricist Robbie Fisher, who has been working closely with the band since the beginning stages of the album. In the United States, ''Elephunk'' reached number 14 on the '']'' and is their first album to chart in the top 15. It gained even more commercial success in the ] where it reached number 3. It has sold over 1.6&nbsp;million copies in the UK and 8.5&nbsp;million copies worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |title=Amazon Elephunk Information |url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009V7RF}}</ref> The singles "]" and "]" reached number 1.

They remixed some of the tracks on Elephunk and translated it into ] and created new tracks for the game. They also feature in the game as playable characters.<ref>{{cite web|title=Black Eyed Peas To Feature In The Urbz: Sims In The City |url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6105705.html |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107052159/http://www.gamespot.com/news/6105705.html |archivedate=November 7, 2012}}</ref>
