Found only tangential name-drops, no reliable sources. Only notability is that he hangs out with the Black Eyed Peas now and then. Did nothing else of note at all. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:16, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article doesn't really make it clear, but his "claim to fame" (or rather notability!) is as a founder member of the group that became the Black Eyed Peas; he frequently appears as a backing singer on their records. His appearance on The Voice UK, a national TV show where will.i.am introduced him to the TV audience in those terms, probably isn't enough to pass the GNG on its own, but seems very helpful in terms of bolstering his overall notability. Some reliable third party sources would be helpful.  ✤ Fosse   8 ✤  14:06, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete His only real claim to fame is that he's friends with famous people, and notability is not inherited. He may have been part of the group of friends that eventually became the Black Eyed Peas, but since he was never actually part of that notable group, that doesn't do much for his own notability.  The only sources that are really available all talk about his appearance on The Voice UK, and are pretty brief mentions at that, since he is merely on the show as a guest of one of his actually notable friends.
