Founding member of the grammy-award winning Black Eyed Peas, Will Adams (a.k.a. "will.i.am") is one of the most sought-after writers and producers on the hip-hop scene today, working with such celebrated artists as Santana, John Legend, Macy Grey, Fergie, Sergio Mendez, Ricky Martin and Mos Def among others. A serious football fan, Adams created, together with NFL Films composer Tom Hedden and legendary guitarist Steve Vai , the vibrant, fast-moving, multi-genre bending launch theme of the NFL network. Adams signed a co-publishing deal with Cherry Lane in 2003 for all his compositions. Both parties formed a joint venture company, 315 Music, LLC., to sign songwriter/artists. Recent signings include the hip-hop band Noize Trip, among others.
