Stacy Ann
Ferguson (born March 27, 1975), better known by her
stage name Fergie, is an American pop and R&B
singer-songwriter, and actress. She is a former member
of the kids' TV series Kids Incorporated, and the girl
group Wild Orchid. Ferguson was also a co-host of the TV
show Great Pretenders. She is currently a vocalist for
the hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas, as well as a solo
artist. She released her debut album, The Dutchess, in
2006.
Early life: Ferguson was born in Whittier,
California to Terri Gore and Patrick Ferguson in nearby
Hacienda Heights. She has one sister, Dana, who is an
actress. Her parents were Catholic and worked as
schoolteachers, and Ferguson had a strict Catholic
upbringing. During her youth, she was involved with
members of the Mexican gangs in Hacienda Heights.
Ferguson attended Glen A. Wilson High School.
Music career: Ferguson was a member of the female
trio Wild Orchid, which she fronted with Stefanie Ridel
and fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee Sandstrom. Wild
Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third
album, their record label declined to release it, and
she left the group shortly thereafter. Her
disappointment with Wild Orchid led to an addiction to
crystal methamphetamine. In September 2006, Ferguson
talked with Time about quitting her crystal meth
addiction. "It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had
to break up with," she says. "It's the drug
that's addicting. But it's why you start doing it in the
first place that's interesting. A lot of it was being a
child actor; I learned to suppress feelings."
In 2003, Ferguson took over the lead female vocal duties
for The Black Eyed Peas, replacing background singer Kim
Hill, who had left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded
five songs with the group before she was invited to join
them permanently. Ferguson's addition to the band, which
had enjoyed underground success until then, helped them
quickly grow into mainstream popularity.
After two hit Black Eyed Peas albums, Ferguson began
pursuing a solo career. Her first album, released on
September 19, 2006, was entitled The Dutchess. The
album's name is a misspelled variant of the former title
of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, with whom
Ferguson shares a surname and popular nickname. The solo
deal does not mean the demise of The Black Eyed Peas, as
Ferguson is intending on staying with the group and
alternating between the two duties. Music on The
Dutchess is similar in style to the Black Eyed Peas, as
fellow Peas member will.i.am is the album's executive
producer. Ferguson has had four hit songs from The
Dutchess including two number one singles: "London
Bridge" and "Glamorous". Her second
single, "Fergalicious", peaked at #2 and was
well on its way to reaching #1 had it not been
controversially removed from iTunes for several days,
hurting its sales in a critical period. Also,
"London Bridge" reached #2 on the United World
Chart, while "Fergalicious" and
"Glamorous" both made it to #4. "Big
Girls Don't Cry" has been confirmed as her fourth
single.
Acting career: As a child actress, Ferguson
appeared on the television program Kids Incorporated for
several years with Renee Sandstrom, who became a fellow
member of Wild Orchid. Ferguson's well-scrubbed image on
that show presents quite a contrast with the
"ghetto-funk" image she has more recently
begun to cultivate. Ferguson was the voice of Sally
Brown in two Charlie Brown specials: It's Flashbeagle,
Charlie Brown (1984), and Snoopy's Getting Married,
Charlie Brown (1985). She also voiced Sally in the 1985
version of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.
Ferguson was cast as Stevie Wayne (the role originated
by sex symbol Adrienne Barbeau) in the update of John
Carpenter's The Fog in March 2005. However, she left the
role due to creative differences. In July 2005, Ferguson
had a guest role on the Rocket Power special, Reggie's
Big Beach Break, on Nickelodeon; she voiced a fictitious
pop music star named Shaffika. Ferguson returned to
acting in 2006, appearing in a minor role in the film
Poseidon. She later appeared in 2007's Grindhouse.
Born in 1975, she did voice work for The Charlie Brown
and Snoopy Show, as well as commercials, prior to
becoming a Kids Incorporated regular from 1984 through
1989.
Along with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated
alum Renee Ilene Sandstrom, Ferguson formed Wild Orchid,
a teen pop group that released a pair of albums during
the late '90s.
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".
Like Martika, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Rahsaan
Patterson, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson got her
first major break as a youngster on the television
program Kids Incorporated.
A few years after the group's split, Ferguson joined the
Black Eyed Peas in time to record 2003's Elephunk. She
became central to the group's mainstream success
("Let's Get It Started," "My Humps")
and released her first solo album, The Dutchess, during
September 2006.
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.
Personal life: As of February 2007, Ferguson is
dating actor Josh Duhamel, who stars in the television
show Las Vegas. She appeared in the series in an episode
titled "Montecito Lancers".
In April 2007, she gave an interview in which she
admitted that she went on a sex and drugs spree when she
turned 18, saying: "I have had lesbian experiences
in the past. I won't say how many men I've had sex with
- but I am a very sexual person."
Other activities: Ferguson was featured on
Maxim's Hot 100 Women of 2006, and she was voted in at
position #36. Maxim also interviewed Ferguson about her
role in Grind House.
In 2005, Ferguson urinated on stage during a performance
at San Diego's Street Scene festival. Ferguson later
commented on the incident: "I had a few drinks
before the show, but I didn't think to go to the
bathroom before we went onstage. We were jumping
around...and my bladder just started."
