From Black Eyed Peas to AI Pioneer: Will.i.am on Music, Tech & the Future

Will.i.am is known around the world as the seven-time Grammy Award–winning founder of the Black Eyed Peas, but his story is much bigger than music. In this episode of Young and Profiting, Hala Taha sits down with Will.i.am to unpack how he used creativity, grit, and futuristic thinking to escape the projects of East LA, build a global music empire, and become a serious player in the world of technology and artificial intelligence. Will.i.am shares how growing up between an all-Mexican neighborhood, a wealthy predominantly white school, and a Black church made him realize that imagination and authenticity were his real currency. He talks about getting his first record deal at 17 with Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records, the sacrifice and focus behind the success of Black Eyed Peas, and why he never wanted to stay “underground” when his mission was always mass appeal, unity, and global reach. He then dives into his second life as a futurist and tech entrepreneur: consulting for companies like Intel, Coca-Cola, Beats, Apple, and Mercedes, investing early in platforms like Twitter, Pinterest, and Tesla, and building AI-powered products long before AI was mainstream. Will.i.am explains why he calls AI the “new renaissance,” how he sees it transforming creativity and collaboration, and how his company FYI.AI is reimagining messaging and workflows for artists and creators in a remote, post-COVID world. Along the way, he talks about redefining what it means to be a futurist, turning intuition and world-building into a strategy, starting robotics and STEM programs in his old neighborhood, sending music to Mars with NASA, and why a traditional job can sometimes kill a dream if you’re not careful. This conversation is a masterclass in vision, hustle, and using technology not just to profit, but to uplift communities and expand what’s possible. #WillIAm #YoungAndProfiting #HalaTaha #BlackEyedPeas #FYIAI #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Futurist #Entrepreneurship #MusicIndustry #Creativity #STEM #TechForGood #Innovation #HipHop #Purpose #Dreams #Motivation #Inspiration Active Deals - https://youngandprofiting.com/deals Key YAP Links Reviews - https://ratethispodcast.com/yap Youtube -    / youngandprofiting   LinkedIn -   / htaha   Instagram -   / yapwithhala   Social + Podcast Services: https://yapmedia.com Transcripts - https://youngandprofiting.com/episode... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Young and Profiting with Hala Taha is the must-listen podcast for anyone who is hardcore into entrepreneurship.
