Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas shares the inspirational story of how he went from gangland East L.A. to the top of the world. Born into a family with strong gang connections, Taboo's life seemed destined for tragedy, however with the support of his grandmother, he dreamed of a better life and pinned his hopes on music. However, life as a rock star was t exactly a fairytale for Taboo. As the Black Eyed Peas' profile grew, Taboo's personal life started to fall apart as he found himself ill-equipped to handle the success and fame.

However a night in jail made him re-evaluate his life, take a new course without drugs and alcohol, which in turn helped the Black Eyed Peas reach even higher heights, winning multiple Grammys, and breaking Billboard records to become an undeniable global phemen. Fallin' Upis the story of a dreamer's unbreakable spirit - determined to keep getting back up each time that life's hard kcks threaten to bring him down - 'because life's about fallin' up, t falling down'.
