At Intel Capital’s recently-concluded annual CEO Summit in San Diego, California, IT News Africa’s Consumer Tech editor Charlie Fripp interviewed multi-award winning singer and founder of The Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am.
During our interview with one of the biggest pop stars in the world today, Will.i.am spoke of his plans to release 2 consumer technology products at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next year. “Oh man, next year I would love to sit down with you and show you all the stuff that we are doing. We launch in January at CES with two products, two amazing products. Stuff like, whoa, like I can’t even believe it,” he revealed.
The singer also explained where his love for technology started – a double cassette deck that he manipulated to perform functions that it was not designed for. “For a true technologist, I don’t want to say for me taking apart a record player or tape deck is technology – it was me ripping things apart to make them do things that they weren’t supposed to do.”
