A founding member of the Black Eyed Peas, apl.de.ap was integral to the band's phenomenal success. With more than 76m records sold, and global hits such as "Where Is the Love" and "I Gotta Feeling", the group is one of the most successful pop acts of all time. Following in the footsteps of fellow band members Fergie, will.i.am and Taboo, apl.de.ap is launching a solo career and looks forward to delighting fans with more hits. Apl.de.ap is also an active philanthropist through his Apl Foundation, focused on educational projects in Asia.

"We're thrilled to have apl.de.ap DJ at Summeranza 2014," says Johan Skaar, president of EF Language Travel. "EF is the only language study organization that can throw an event like this, and working with an artist that shares our mission of opening the world through education is amazing."
