Will.i.am

I am trying to encourage kids to do something that isn’t yet on their mind because it is not in popular culture. Popular culture tells you ‘music, music, sports, sports.’ It neglects the importance of a STEM education.

I can’t be quiet, as that’s when I notice the ringing in my ears.

I don’t follow waves or trends or emotions.

I don’t have political agendas. I have social agendas.

Will.i.am

I don’t know what silence sounds like anymore.

I don’t wanna believe that racism exists, but the more I wish it away, the more I realize it’s in our system.

Will.i.am

I don’t want to hope anymore. I don’t think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.

Will.i.am

I go out partying to figure out exactly who I’m making music for. You can’t just guess.

Will.i.am

I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.
