The Black Eyed Peas will be coming to Romania this summer, at the NEVERSEA Festival in Constanta. The lead member of the band, rapper will.i.am (William James Adams), who is also a successful tech entrepreneur, has an estimated fortune of around EUR 75 million, according to Forbes.

Will.i.am is one of the few artists to invest and create tech start-ups. His business abilities drew the attention of Intel, who named him Director of Creative Innovation in 2011. From this role, he was responsible for generating new ideas for the interactive technology of the American company. Starting with 2012, will.i.am founded i.am+, a Hollywood-based company with the mission of “creating wearable products that combine fashion and technology.” One of the company’s products, the i.am+ case, became one of the best publicized iPhone cases in the world, in 2012. The same year, the i.am+ camera for iPhone4 was launched.

Other devices released by i.am+ include the Puls and Dial smartwatches, featuring an integrated voice-enabled AI technology, and the EPs and BUTTONS high-end Bluetooth headphones, the company’s most successful products, so far.

The first artist on Mars

In 2012, NASA contacted will.i.am to write a song dedicated to the Mars landing of the Curiosity Rover. Thus, the new single, “Reach for the Stars,” became the first song to be broadcasted on the Red Planet.
