Fergie
Stacy Ann Ferguson began her career in 1983 as the voice
of Sally Brown in the children's cartoon series Charlie Brown. Shortly
afterwards, at the age of eight, she made her first appearance on the
variety television program Kids Incorporated. During the following five
years, Ferguson appeared on over 100 episodes of Kids Incorporated, some
of which alongside Renee Sands, with whom she would later reunite in the
band Wild Orchid.
In 1993, Ferguson graduated from Glen A. Wilson High School in Hacienda
Heights, California.
In 1990 Ferguson became a member of the all-female band Wild Orchid. The
group released two albums, but after completing their third album the
record label declined to release it. During Wild Orchid, she was a Bongo
model, and Guess model and had her own show called "The Great Pretenders",
on Fox Family. She left the group shortly thereafter and, according to
interviews, sought therapy. She told a Glasgow newspaper: "I started
doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight
dropped to 90 lb (41 kg). I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic.
Finally I started going crazy."
Ferguson was a dance floor regular and backup singer at various Los Angeles
venues. She met will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas at one of those venues.
Ferguson and will.i.am had a number of meetings after shows and before
long, she was invited to join the band in the recording studio. Ferguson
replaced background singer Kim Hill, who left the group in 2000. Ferguson
recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them
permanently. She took the stage name "Fergie" and is featured
prominently in the group's songs "Shut Up" and "My Humps".
Ferguson is embarking on a solo career, but she has said she considers
it only a side project and will still continue to record and tour with
the band.
On September 19, 2006 Ferguson's solo CD called the Dutchess will hit
stores. On August 30, 2006 at the MTV VMA's she performed London Bridge
which will be on her solo CD.
