I had an opportunity to check out the Black Eyed Peas on CBS’ Sunday Morning today. Gotta say the interview was pretty good. I was a little surprised Apl.de.ap didn’t know English when he came to the U.S. Well, then again I don’t closely follow the group. Except from the interview below:

[The Black Eyed Peas] come with a wide range of experiences. Will.i.am grew up in a poor neighborhood in East Los Angeles, raised by his single mom. He met Allan Pineda (who goes by apl.de.ap) when they were 14, and a sponsor brought Apl to the U.S. from the Philippines. Apl spoke no English, but he and Will found a common bond in dance and music.

“Will calls you his best friend and he says without you, there would be no Peas,” says the commentator Michelle Miller.

“Wow, thanks Will,” said Apl.

When asked how the group describes their music Apl.de.ap quickly said, “It’s music for the soul.” Folks, I couldn’t agree more.

Tonight the group is up for six Grammys including Album and Record of the Year. Their latest album, The E.N.D., sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. In addition Boom Boom Pow was the most downloaded song in 2009 on iTunes. You can check out the full interview HERE.
