Fellow Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am previously said the group predicted having an AI member in their 2009 "The E.N.D." album with the avatar personality in the video and the character on their album cover.
Apl.de.ap confirmed this to Philstar.com, "We've been using that style from 'The E.N.D.' and 'The Beginning.' Now it's just developed into this beautiful girl named Vida. So she's always gonna be intertwined with our music and future projects."
Will.i.am had said Vida will have songs with him, Taboo, and Filipino-American session member Jessica "J. Rey Soul" Reynoso, making it an interactive experience all around, and even teased that after Las Vegas the show with Vida could head to Broadway or the West End.
