Getting the Feeling With Black Eyed Peas' Taboo

After working on the London-based show X Factor, Jaime Gomez, more famously known as Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, is glad to come home to his wife and two kids.

A natural performer from the age of 5, Taboo was pushed by his grandmother to pursue his talents professionally. “My grandmother would introduce me when I’d come in the room: ‘Give it up for Jaime Gomez!’ and I would perform to Spanish songs, and then rap songs back in the ’80s when Slick Rick first came out … my grandmother was always the person that spearheaded that,” he says.

Part of the idea behind the Mansions & Millionaires Designers’ Showcase is to create what the event’s producer, Arlene Travis, calls a “laboratory” – an environment where designers have the freedom to try out their most creative and new ideas. Because of this, it is also a great place to spot new trends and to meet the designers whose vision is fostering them.
