BLACK EYED PEAS BIOGRAPHY
The Black Eyed Peas is a group that hails from Los Angeles that has experienced international fame. They may be considered hip-hop artists, first having the name 'Atban Klann', signed under the late Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. The members include: Will.i.am, Taboo, and Apl.de.ap, plus their accompanying live band. After Eazy-E's death in 1995, the members decided to change their name into Black Eyed Peas.
In 1998, Black Eyed Peas released their debut album entitled: 'Behind The Front', which gave them critical acclaim. In 2000, another album was released: 'Bridging the Gap'.
In 2003, the group had to hire a female vocalist to replace Kim Hill, the previous background singer who left the group in 2000. Fergie, real name Stacy Ferguson, was then chosen and featured in the group's 2003 breakthrough album named: 'Elephunk'. Fergie used to be a member of Wild Orchid, a teenage band.
One of Elephunk's famous hits was 'Where Is The Love' which focuses on standing up against war, and is also considered as the Black Eyed Peas' first major hit. 'Where Is The Love' got the 8th spot on the US Hot 100 chart, and then eventually topped the other charts all over the world. In the U.K., that single was 2003's biggest-selling one out of all the U.K. singles released. Another single that became popular in the U.K. charts, holding the #2 spot is Black Eyed Peas' 'Shut Up'. It also became a chart-topper in other countries like Germany and France. 'Hey Mama', which was Elephunk's third single also became a hit and was included in the U.K. Top 10, as well as gained popularity in other European countries. In the US, 'Hey Mama' was included in the Top 30 of the Hot 100. 'Elephunk' has turned gold in the UK and the nearby countries, and platinum in the US.
