Stacy Ann "Fergie" Ferguson (/ˈfɜːrɡi/ FUR-ghee; born March 27, 1975)[4][5] is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She was a member of the hip hop group the Black Eyed Peas between 2002 and 2018, releasing four albums. As a solo artist, Fergie has sold over 7.2 million albums and 29 million singles worldwide, and is the recipient of eight Grammy Awards and other accolades. Billboard ranked her among the top artists of the 2000s, and in 2010, the same publication named her Woman of the Year.

Before the Black Eyed Peas, Fergie was a member of the girl group Wild Orchid from 1990 to 2001, releasing two albums. Her debut solo studio album, The Dutchess, was released in 2006 to commercial success, peaking at number two on the Billboard 200. Its singles "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Glamorous" and "London Bridge" topped the Billboard Hot 100, while "Clumsy" and "Fergalicious" peaked within the top five. Her second studio album, Double Dutchess, was released in 2017. Its singles "L.A. Love (La La)" and "M.I.L.F. $" appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Charts.

As a child, Fergie starred on the children's television series Kids Incorporated (1982–1987). As an adult, she has appeared in films such as Poseidon (2006), Grindhouse (2007), Nine (2009) and Marmaduke (2010). She launched two footwear lines in 2009, and launched her first fragrance, Outspoken, under Avon in 2010. She has released four more fragrances and several product lines.

Early life

Fergie was born as Stacy Ann Ferguson on March 27, 1975, in Hacienda Heights, California,[6] to Terri (née Gore) and Jon Patrick Ferguson. Her father died in September 2021 at age 74.[7] She has a younger sister named Dana Ferguson. Her ancestry includes English, Irish, Mexican, and Scottish.[8][9][10][11] She was raised Roman Catholic and attended Mesa Robles Middle School and Glen A. Wilson High School.[12] She was a cheerleader, straight-A student, spelling bee champion,[12] and Girl Scout.[13]

Career

1984–2001: Early work and Wild Orchid

Fergie studied dance and began to do voiceover work. She provided the voice for Sally Brown in two made-for-television Peanuts cartoons, It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984) and Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown (1985), as well as on four episodes of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. From 1984 to 1989, Fergie starred on the TV show Kids Incorporated and was the longest running cast member. She starred in the first six of the show's nine seasons. Fergie was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid, which she fronted with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee Sandstrom. By 1992, the girls began meeting with record labels, but they still could not get a recording contract. They eventually signed a music publishing deal with Sony Publishing before signing a record contract with RCA Records in 1994.[14]

Wild Orchid released their self-titled debut album in March 1997, which charted at #153 on the Billboard 200. In September 1998, they released their second album, Oxygen, which was a commercial failure, only selling 200,000 copies worldwide. From June 16 to August 28, 1999, they opened for Cher's Do You Believe? tour alongside Cyndi Lauper, which took them to 52 cities across the United States and Canada. They completed a third album, which their record label declined to release, and Fergie left the group in September 2001. In 2006, Fergie told Entertainment Weekly that both frustrations with the band's image and personal drug problems led her to leave Wild Orchid.[15]

2002–2005: Breakthrough with the Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas were recording their third album, Elephunk (2003), when will.i.am invited Fergie to try out for the song "Shut Up". She secured the gig and instantly bonded with the trio, going on to record five additional songs on the album. The following spring, shortly before Elephunk came out, Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine offered Fergie a permanent spot to take over vocal duties and fill the void left by background singer Kim Hill's departure in 2000.[16] In a positive review of the Black Eyed Peas' new-found style, Rolling Stone noted that since 2002, when the group "hired a blond bombshell named Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson and gave up their pursuit of backpack-rapper cred, they have made a kind of spiritual practice of recording futuristic songs – a total aesthetic commitment that extends from their garish wardrobes to their United Colors of Benetton worldview."[17] From Elephunk came "Where Is the Love?", which became the Black Eyed Peas' first major hit: it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in several other countries.[18] The album subsequently spawned "Shut Up", which topped the charts in many markets. The third single from the album, "Hey Mama", reached the top 10 in several European countries and later peaked at number twenty-three in the United States in 2004.

Their next album, Monkey Business, was released on June 7, 2005, and debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, selling over 295,000 copies in its first week and was later certified triple platinum by the RIAA. Their next and last commercially released single from the album was "Pump It", which borrows much of its sound from "Misirlou", specifically Dick Dale's version; it peaked at number 8 in Australia but 18 in America. The album's first single, "Don't Phunk with My Heart", was a hit in the United States, reaching number three on the U.S. Hot 100 and earned them another Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. "Don't Lie", the second single from the album, saw success on the U.S. Hot 100, reaching No. 14, although becoming somewhat more successful in the UK and Australia, reaching a peak of No.6 in both countries. "My Humps", another song from the album, immediately achieved commercial success in the U.S. and fairly substantial radio play despite the sexually suggestive lyrics, reaching number three on the U.S. Hot 100 and number one in Australia, making it their fourth Australian number one single. However, many mocked the song for its poor lyrical content; John Bush, writing for AllMusic, described it as "one of the most embarrassing rap performances of the new millennium".[19] Later in 2005, the Black Eyed Peas toured with Gwen Stefani, as supporting act. In December 2005, they embarked on the "European Tour". In March 2006, the Black Eyed Peas toured again, as the featured headliner for the Honda Civic Tour.[20]

2006–2008: The Dutchess and expansion

Fergie's debut solo album, The Dutchess, was released in September 2006.[22] It was initially recorded in 2005.[23][24] The songs on the album are "from a seven-year period, but [Interscope CEO] Jimmy Iovine heard some [tracks] and was like, 'This is great, let's put it out'.[25] One of the album's executive producers and fellow Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am stated that she was "writing about her personal struggles and casting her demons away and feminine power. [It's] her singing for young girls to be strong, and what they're going through in life, just growing up in this world of uncertainty."[26] "London Bridge" was released as the album's lead single on July 18, 2006, to radio stations[27] and on August 7, 2006, on the iTunes Store.[28] The urban pop track caused controversy due to its double entendre title,[29] but became a huge success, topping the Billboard Hot 100 (for three weeks) and New Zealand charts, while also reaching the top-ten in over twelve countries.[30] The music video for the song features the Black Eyed Peas members as well as Fergie on the Tower Bridge, among other scenes.[26]

The following single, "Fergalicious", was released on October 23, 2006.[31] The track, which features will.i.am, managed to reach number two on the Billboard Hot 100, the top-five in Australia and New Zealand, although it peaked lower than "London Bridge" in Europe.[32] Its music video features Fergie as Willy Wonka in a candy factory.[33] "Glamorous" was released as the third single from the album, on February 20, 2007.[34] The track, which features Ludacris, became another number-one single for Fergie in the United States, and also reached the top-ten in over seven countries.[35] The fourth single, "Big Girls Don't Cry", was released on May 22, 2007.[36] The ballad became a huge success worldwide, topping the charts of ten countries, including Australia, Canada and the United States; it was also the album's most successful single in Europe.[37] The music video for the song features American actor Milo Ventimiglia as her love interest.[38] "Clumsy" was then selected to be the fifth and final single from the album. It was released on September 25, 2007[39] and became a top-ten hit in five countries, including in Australia and the United States, becoming her fifth consecutive top-five hit in the U.S.[40]

In 2007, the Black Eyed Peas embarked on the Black Blue & You World Tour and visited more than 20 countries. Fergie returned to acting in 2006, appearing as a lounge singer in the Poseidon remake. She later had supporting roles in 2007's Grindhouse and the 2009 musical film Nine. Fergie and other members of the cast of Nine received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture nomination for their performance in that film. On December 31, 2006, Fergie began hosting Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on ABC for the pre-taped Hollywood segments after the New Year Ball came down in Times Square.[41]

2009–2012: Continued success with the Black Eyed Peas

In early 2009, Fergie and the group left A&M Records; both remained with Interscope Records.[42][43] The group's fifth studio album, The E.N.D ("The Energy Never Dies"), was released on June 9, 2009. The overall sound of the album has a more electro hop beat rather than the usual hip pop/R&B feeling of their previous albums. In its first week, the album sold 304,000 copies and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200.[44] They released "Boom Boom Pow" as the lead single from their fifth album, The E.N.D., in March 2009. It went to number one in the United States and became the group's first chart topper.[45][46] As of March 2011, the album has sold over 3,000,000 copies in the US alone.[47] In France, the album proved to be very successful. It spent 55 weeks inside of the top 10 with 11 at No. 1.[48] They subsequently released a second single from the album, "I Gotta Feeling", which proved an even greater success than the first: it moved from number two behind "Boom Boom Pow" to the top spot in July,[46] and stayed for 14 straight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100,[49] the longest stay at the top of 2009. The two hit singles back to back kept the Black Eyed Peas on the top for 26 consecutive weeks, from April 18 through October 16. Fergie bought a stake in the Miami Dolphins in 2009,[50][51] and has performed at the team's football games numerous times.[52][53]

"Meet Me Halfway" was released as the third single from the album in September 2009. The single reached number one in the United Kingdom and Australia. It also peaked at seven on the Billboard Hot 100. In October 2009, Fergie became a part owner of the National Football League's Miami Dolphins.[54] "Imma Be" was released as the fourth single; it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks.[55] "Rock That Body" was then released as the fifth single and reached number nine on the U.S. charts.[56] In September 2009, the group embarked on The E.N.D World Tour, visiting Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. In October 2009, they also were the opening acts for 5 concerts of the U2 360° Tour North America leg.

The Black Eyed Peas performed at the Grammys on January 31, 2010. They performed a mash-up of "Imma Be"/"I Gotta Feeling". They won 3 out of the 6 awards they were nominated for including Best Pop Vocal Album for The E.N.D., Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group for "I Gotta Feeling" and Best Short Form Video for "Boom Boom Pow". On July 27, 2010, the Black Eyed Peas released a remix album: The E.N.D. Summer 2010 Canadian Invasion Tour: Remix Collection. It was released on iTunes in Canada only, during the Canadian leg of The E.N.D World Tour. It mostly features remixes of the singles taken from The E.N.D. It also features a remix of "Let's Get It Started" taken from Elephunk; the remix was also a bonus track on the deluxe edition of The E.N.D.. She launched her debut fragrance, Outspoken, under Avon in May 2010.[57] Her performance of Gimme Shelter with Mick Jagger and U2 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary in 2010 has over 13 million views.[58]

On February 18, 2018, will.i.am confirmed Fergie's departure from the band in an interview with the Daily Star.[85] At the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, Fergie performed a controversial rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner",[86][87] which People described as a "slowed-down jazzy rendition"[86] and Deadline reported it as being "bluesy" and "breathy".[87] She would later acknowledge that "clearly this rendition didn't strike the intended tone."[86] In 2018, Fergie hosted the singing competition series The Four: Battle for Stardom, which ran for two seasons on Fox.[88] In September 2018, Fergie re-recorded The Wendy Williams Show's theme song "Feel It" to celebrate the show's 10th season.[89][90] In May 2019, she competed against actress Octavia Spencer on VH1's variety show Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party.

Artistry

Fergie does not consider herself a rapper. In a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone, Fergie said of her vocal style: "I love imitating instruments, sometimes you can't understand what I'm saying because I'm going for an instrumental sound. It would ruin the sound if I pronunciated [sic] correctly."[123] She has cited Roxanne Shante, Monie Love, Salt-N-Pepa, and J. J. Fad as artists she looks up to, and said that The Dutchess pays homage to them.[123] In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she cited Beyoncé as a major influence for her album Double Dutchess.[124]

In a Paper article analyzing her image, Katherine Gillespie called her an "imperfect popstar" who "managed to rise above these manufactured circumstances and establish a unique onstage persona that relied on fashion just as much as music to get its point across. [...] She featured in Worst Dressed columns, but also inspired millions of 14-year-olds to spend their allowances on cargo pants. That's real influence."[141]

Personal life

Fergie is bisexual. She said "I've been in show business since I was a little girl, so [homosexuality] was always very normal to me. My mom taught me that every human is God's child. You have to live your own life and not judge other people. Love is a great thing."[165]

While performing with Wild Orchid, Fergie developed an addiction to crystal methamphetamine, which continued after she left the group in 2001. In September 2006, Fergie talked with Time magazine about quitting her crystal meth addiction. "It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with," she said. "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."[166][167] She has stated in several interviews that she is an avid user of hypnotherapy, which she used to overcome her crystal meth addiction and to relax.[168][169]

In April 2007, she gave an interview in which she admitted that she went on a sex and drugs spree when she turned eighteen, 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."[170]
