will.i.am — Silicon Valley's Favorite Musician

The Black Eyed Peas frontman became a genuine tech investor, founding i.am+ (a wearable tech company), investing in Beats Electronics pre-Apple acquisition, serving on the board of AI company i.am/angel, and becoming Intel's Director of Creative Innovation. He was the first musician to send a song from Mars via the Curiosity rover in 2012 — a NASA collaboration. His tech investments have earned more than his share of the Black Eyed Peas' $80 million touring revenue. Will was at Davos talking about AI ethics while most musicians were still figuring out Spotify playlists.
