BLACK EYED PEAS COMPOSE ON TOILET

The Black Eyed Peas star Will.I.Am composes music on the toilet.The hip-hop star - real name William Adams - is so dedicated to creating new songs he has turned his home into a recording studio by installing recording equipment in every room of his $7 million Hollywood mansion.Will.I.Am told Britain's The Times newspaper: "It's not really a house, it's a studio. There are microphones and places I can plug in everywhere, a wireless controller, so I record from anywhere."And I can log on from anywhere in the world, so even if I'm in London or Tokyo, I can still be making music."The producer claims The Black Eyed Peas - of which 'London Bridge' singer Fergie is a member - didn't set out to make hit records, but to send out a political message.Will.I.Am, who is working with Michael Jackson on the 'Thriller' singer's comeback album, said: "The way we were marketed when we first started out didn't honor how it was built."We weren't trying to make hits when we made 'Elephunk'. Do you think I would have called the CIA terrorists in 'Where is the Love?' right around the time America went to Iraq if I was trying to make a record to get played on the radio?"
