How it all started: Stacy Ann Ferguson was
born on March 27, 1975 in Whittier, California, to Terri and Pat
Ferguson, catholic school teachers of Irish, Scottish, Mexican
and Native American descent. Fergie was a straight A student,
spelling bee champion, cheerleader and a girl scout and to top
that up, her mother got her an agent through her dance school
and Fergie landed a voiceover for Sally in several Peanuts
cartoons and since 1984 till 1989 spent her summers performing
in Kids Incorporated TV show.
In 1991, with her fellow
star from Kids Incorporated Renée Sands and Stefanie Ridel, they
formed a band called Wild Orchid. Together they released two
albums. Their record label however refused to publish their
third, already finished album, and Fergie left the band soon
afterwards.
What followed was admittedly
not an easy time for Fergie, however she met up with will.i.am
from the Black Eyed Peas who invited her to try out for a song
Shut Up for their new album, Elephunk. It worked both musically
and personally and she recorded five more songs for the album.
Shortly after the release of Elephunk, she was officially
invited to permanently join the group. In 2006, she released her
first solo album, but she remains firmly part of Black Eyed
Peas.
