Dominating the charts, airwaves and clubs in 2009 The Black Eyed Peas are one of the year's most successful groups. The group's #1 platinum album "THE E.N.D." (which stands for The Energy Never Dies) has spent over 31 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart and remains in the Top 10. The group set a record for having the longest consecutive #1 singles in Billboard's Hot 100 history.

Printz Board wrote and/or produced six songs on the deluxe edition of the Grammy® nominated album including, "Missing You" and "Out Of My Head" (co-producer and writer along with frontman will.i.am). He is writer of "Rockin' to the Beat," "One Tribe," "Where Ya Wanna Go" and "Don't Phunk Around." In addition to Album of the Year, "The E.N.D." is also nominated for The Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Annual Grammy® Awards.

"THE E.N.D." received rave reviews upon its release. Rolling Stone calls the album: "aggressively, festively, infectiously" scoring the album 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Spin Magazine calls it "exuberantly funky" and Entertainment Weekly says the "future-funk beats" are "pure Top 40 nirvana."

Board's writing and production skills reach a broad spectrum in the music industry, bridging musical genres. He is currently working with Fergie on her upcoming solo album. Printz has written and/or produced for international superstar Justin Timberlake, the legendary Michael Jackson, Latin icon Shakira, award-winner Natasha Bedingfield, Hip-Hop rapper Ice Cube, Katy Perry, John Legend, Busta Rhymes, Macy Gray, Warren G, Nikki Costa, Cathy Dennis, Colby O'Donis, Cassie Davis and Backstreet Boys.

Board's production company, Beets & Produce, includes a state of art recording studio and production deals with producers Sleep Deez and Moody. The company launched a clothing range that has been called "fashionably relaxed" and "upscale leisure." His entrepreneurial business ventures include the vodka brand, KROL (which means 'King' in Polish), LA's hot restaurant Ketchup and the nightspot Wonderland. The acclaimed producer found time in his busy schedule to achieve a double major degree from San Diego State University in Music and Business.

Printz will embark on a worldwide tour with The Black Eyed Peas on February 3, 2010. The group kicked off The Oprah Winfrey Show's 2009 season premiere in fashion staging a massive "mob-scale" choreographed number with over 21,000 people lining Michigan Ave in Chicago dancing in-sync live on the show. They have performed before millions of viewers around the globe at the World Cup and Superbowl. The group is scheduled to perform at the Grammy® Awards on January 31 in Los Angeles.
