There were a lot of gangs in high school. Instead of being in a gang, I decided to dance.

It is important for me to help others because I was also helped by others before I became part of the Black Eyed Peas.

I had poor eyesight when I was young and despite that, I was making good grades.

Mentoring artists is something I love.

To me, it's pretty much the same thing - I just love playing music. But the cool thing about DJing is that I get to play other people's music, I can mix it up between our songs and a variety of musical genres. It also enables me to be more intimate with the audience.

Coming from the Philippines, my whole goal was to support my family and have a better living situation.

We've had great experiences in Israel - besides traveling around, we got to go to some clubs. We didn't really know how the nightlife would be in Tel Aviv, and we were surprised how big the party was and what a high level the clubs and music were at.

I want to leave this earth knowing that I did something. I made a difference in someone's life.

We wanted to make music to fit with the way we live and celebrate life.

I'm comfortable not using my vision.

All my life, I believe in overcoming challenges.

But when I discovered music, I knew that that's what I wanted to do in my life and I just jumped in all the way and pursued my dreams as a musician.
