Black Eyed Peas BIO
The Black Eyed Peas dates back to
1989 when will.i.am (Born: William Adams) and Apl.de.ap (Born: Allen
Pineda) met and began rapping and performing together around Los
Angeles. The pair signed to Ruthless Records (run by Eazy-E) after
catching the attention of Eazy-E, manager Jerry Heller's nephew. Along
with another friend of theirs, Dante Santiago, they called their trio
Atban Klann. Their debut album was never released because Ruthless did
not consider the positive themes reflected in the group's music to be
marketable to their audience.
After Eazy-E died of an AIDS related illness in 1995 (see 1995 in
music), Atban Klann reformed the group as Black Eyed Peas, named so
because - as will.i.am explained on the front cover of the Monkey
Business album - 'Black Eyed Peas are food for the soul'. They replaced
their original third member with Taboo (Born: Jaime Gomez), and having
Kim Hill as a steady background singer. Unlike many hip-hop acts, they
chose to perform with a live band and adopted a musical and clothing
style that differed wildly from the "Gangsta Rap" sounds of other Los
Angeles-based hip-hop acts at the time. Through the mid-'90s, they
performed in the local club circuit alongside fellow acts such as
Ozomatli and Jurassic 5. After being signed to Interscope Records and
releasing their debut, Behind the Front (1998, 1998 in music) the group
(and their accompanying live band) earned critical acclaim. The hit
single from the album was "Joints and Jam", and was featured on the
Bulworth soundtrack. Their second album was 2000's Bridging the Gap
(2000 in music), which had the hit "Request + Line" featuring Macy Gray.
