will.i.am ibinida ang malalim na friendship kay apl.de.ap, ipinasilip ang xboom collab

KUNG may bestie goals sa mundo ng showbiz at music, aba'y walang tatalo sa friendship nina will.i.am at apl.de.ap ng Black Eyed Peas!

Kaya naman nang bumisita ulit si will.i.am sa Pilipinas para sa concert nila, parang umuwi na rin siya sa kanyang "second home."

"Because of my connection to Apl.de.ap, my best friend in the world, it always feels like I'm coming back to my second home, because this is Apl's first home," sey ni will.i.am sa exclusive media conference para sa bagong collab niya with LG.

At hindi lang basta balik-bayan feels ang peg dahil dala pa niya this time ang kanyang mommy, na unang beses palang nagpunta sa ating bansa at dumiretso pa sa Pampanga para masilayan ang roots ni Apl.

Kwento ng frontman at co-founder ng sikat na grupo, ang nanay niya mismo ang naging "bridge" ng pagkakaibigan nila ni Apl noong bata pa sila.

Ibinunyag pa nga niya na napilitan siyang mag-absent noon sa eskwelahan para makipag-bonding kay Apl.

"My mom took care of that boy when Apl's adoptive father was looking for a school for him, my mom was his caretaker. So she was like, 'Hey, you're not going to school this week because you got to hang out with him', and I was pissed," nakakatawang kwento niya.

Patuloy pa ni will.i.am, "I was 14 and I have my first girlfriend in school, but anyways, I missed school for a week so I can hangout with Apl, and when I get back to school, she broke up with me but it's cool."

"It's Apl's fault!" biro pa ni will.i.am sa media.

Pero hindi lang puso at friendship ang dala ng global icon sa Pinas, dahil ibinandera rin niya ang bonggang pasabog: ang LG xboom AI speakers by will.i.am!

Sa nasabing presscon na dinaluhan ng BANDERA, inilahad ng nine-time Grammy winner kung paano nabuo ang kanyang partnership kasama ang sikat na tech company.

"About a year and a half ago, LG approached me with the idea of collaborating on a line of speakers. Honestly, I was blown away. LG is one of the best consumer electronics companies in the world," proud niyang pagbabahagi.

At hindi lang basta lending of name, ha! Si will.i.am mismo ang naging Experiential Architect ng bagong linya ng LG xboom.

Ibig sabihin, siya ang tumutok sa tunog, nag-design ng logo, pati sounds ng speaker tulad ng power on, pairing, at volume max ay siya ang gumawa!

"In my head, it was gonna take a couple of hours… but it took four days!" natatawa niyang kwento.

Dagdag pa niya, matagal na siyang fan ng LG products mula TV, refrigerator, hanggang washing machine.

Kaya nang inalok siyang mag-collab, "Oh my God! Wow!" agad ang reaksyon niya.

Siyempre, present din sa launch ang apat na bagong produkto ng LG xboom AI line: Stage 301, Bounce, Grab, at Buds.

Pwedeng-pwede para sa karaoke nights lalo na ngayong BER months, beach trips, travel, at kahit simpleng bonding.

At gaya ng pagkakakilala natin sa mga Pinoy, music is life talaga, kaya swak na swak ang xboom sa kulturang Pinoy na mahilig magkasama-sama at kumanta nang todo.

Sa huli, hindi nakalimot si will.i.am na magbigay-pugay sa talento ng mga Pilipino: "Now's the time for dreamers to dream the biggest dreams imaginable and that includes the Philippines becoming a superpower."

"Filipinos are freaking awesome!" aniya pa.
