Los Angeles, Jun 19 (IANS): Singer Will.i.am doesn't have a home despite purchasing properties for several close family members and paying off their mortgages.

The "Scream and Shout" hitmaker has never bought a house for himself and calls his recording studio his abode, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I don't have a home. But I bought my mum, uncle, aunt and grandma their homes," said the 38-year-old. "And then what some people call my home is really my studio, where my other uncle lives," he added.

While he loves staying in hotels while travelling for his performance, he is keen to build a surreal dream home.

When asked about his ideal property, he said: "Well, you pull up and say, 'So where's the house?' and I say 'Right here, don't you see it?'. And you say,'It's a hill, dude.'"

"Then you go out on a hill and out of it shoots an elevator, then you live in the ground and there's little holes in the grass that brings light to the subterranean home," he added.
