The musical genius of Will.i.am led the Black Eyed Peas to seven Grammys and more than 18 million albums sold worldwide. He has also produced and written hits for other artists, such as Justin Timberlake, Carlos Santana, Nas and the late Michael Jackson. The material for what was to be Jackson's new album was never released because of his death. Will.i.am's acting credits include superhero Kestrel in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the voice of Moto Moto in the animated film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. He recently launched a campaign to convince kids that careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are "cool."
