Early life
Fergie was born in either Hacienda Heights, California,[2][3] or Whittier, California,[5][6] to a mother with the maiden name Gore.[6] Her ancestry includes English, Irish, Mexican, Native American, and Scottish.[7][8][9][10] She was raised Roman Catholic and attended Mesa Robles Middle School and Glen A. Wilson High School.[11] She was a cheerleader, straight-A student, spelling bee champion,[11] and Girl Scout.[12]
Career
1984–2002: Television, acting and Wild Orchid
Fergie studied dance and began to do voiceover work; she provided the voice for Sally 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, she 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.[13] 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."[14]
Wild Orchid's first single, "At Night I Pray", debuted on the Billboard charts in September 1996. In March 1997, the band released their self-titled debut album, which debuted 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? 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]
2003–2006: Success with The Black Eyed Peas
Fergie signing autographs in 2004
The Black Eyed Peas were recording their third album, Elephunk (2003), when will.i.am invited Fergie to try out for a song called "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. 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."[16] 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. 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".[17] In autumn 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.[citation needed]

Fergie at the 2007 MuchMusic Video Awards on June 17, 2007
Fergie's debut solo album, The Dutchess, was released in September 2006.[18] It was initially recorded in 2005.[19][20] 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'.[21] 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."[22] "London Bridge" was released as the album's lead single on July 18, 2006 to radio stations[23] and on August 7, 2006 on the iTunes Store.[24] The urban pop track caused controversy due to its double entendre title,[25] 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.[26] The music video for the song features The Black Eyed Peas members as well as Fergie on the Tower Bridge, among other scenes.[22]
The following single, "Fergalicious", was released on October 23, 2006.[27] 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.[28] Its music video features Fergie as Willy Wonka in a candy factory.[29] "Glamorous" was released as the third single from the album, on February 20, 2007.[30] 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.[31] The fourth single, "Big Girls Don't Cry", was released on May 22, 2007.[32] 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.[33] The music video for the song features American actor Milo Ventimiglia as her love interest.[34] "Clumsy" was then selected to be the fifth and final single of the album. It was released on September 25, 2007[35] 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.[36]
In December 2007, Blender picked Fergie as their woman of the year.[37] 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.[38]

In early 2009, both Fergie and the group left A&M Records, both Fergie and the group are still with Interscope Records.[39][40] 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.[41] 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.[42][43] As of March 2011, the album has sold over 3,000,000 copies in the US alone.[44] In France, the album proved to be very successful. It spent 55 weeks inside of the top 10 with 11 at No. 1.[45] 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,[43] and stayed for 14 straight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100,[46] 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.

In 2013, Fergie announced that she had begun writing her second solo studio album.[60] In April, Fergie received the "Always Next, Forever Now" award from LOGO TV in honor of her work in the LGBT community.[61] Fergie has filed a claim at the Los Angeles County Superior Court to legally change her name to Fergie Duhamel and take the last name of her husband, Josh Duhamel. Her lawyer claims that she is doing so to "conform to the first name which she is commonly and professionally known as, and has been for many years."[62] On January 6, 2014, it was announced, again, that Fergie was beginning the process of her second studio album. She stated in an interview with radio host Ryan Seacrest that will.i.am will be handling the production, with release through Interscope.[63][64] In September 2014, it was announced that Fergie's second studio album has been slated for a 2015 release.[65] A new single from Fergie, titled "L.A.

A teaser for the album titled "Hungry (1st Byte)" was released on June 9, 2016.[71] On July 1, she released a new single, titled "M.I.L.F. $".[72] Fergie was inspired to write the song after the birth of her son, Axl.[73] The music video was conceptualized by Fergie and features a group of famous mothers, including Ciara, Chrissy Teigen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kim Kardashian West, Gemma Ward, Tara Lynn, Devon Aoki, Angela Lindvall, Isabeli Fontana, Amber Valletta, and Natasha Poly as lingerie-clad 1950s housewives.[74] On November 11, 2016, Fergie released the third single from the album, "Life Goes On".[75] In November 2016, during a live Facebook chat, Fergie confirmed that the album would see its release in 2017.[76] In May 2017, it was announced that Fergie had parted ways — by mutual decision — with Interscope and would launch her own imprint, Dutchess Music, as part of a global partnership with BMG Rights Management.[77] On June 2, 2017, a Billboard article rumoured that Fergie was departing from the Black Eyed Peas. Band frontman will.i.am dismissed this, but stated that Fergie was taking a break from the group opting to concentrate on her solo career whilst the remaining members are working on a side project.[78] After much anticipation, the pre-order of Double Dutchess was made available on August 25, 2017 along with instant downloads of "Hungry" and "You Already Know", collaborations with Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj respectively, the latter being the fourth single of the album. On September 16, 2017, Fergie performed a solo set live from the Rock in Rio stage in Rio de Janeiro for over a hundred thousand people with surprise guests Pabllo Vittar, Sergio Mendes and Gracinha Leporace.[79]
Double Dutchess was finally released on September 22, 2017.[80] On February 18, 2018, will.i.am confirmed Fergie's departure from the band, in an interview with the Daily Star.[81]
At the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, Fergie performed a controversial rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner",[82][83] which People described as a "slowed-down jazzy rendition"[82] and Deadline reported it as being "bluesy" and "breathy".[83] She would later acknowledge that "clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone."[82]
Personal life
Fergie began dating actor Josh Duhamel in September 2004, after she met him when she and the Black Eyed Peas filmed a cameo for an episode of Duhamel's show Las Vegas.[84] Fergie and Duhamel became engaged in December 2007;[85] they married in a Catholic ceremony on January 10, 2009.[86][87] They have one son, Axl Jack Duhamel, born on August 29, 2013.[88] In May 2009, Fergie came out as bisexual in The Sun.[89] On September 14, 2017, Fergie and Duhamel announced that they had separated earlier that year.[90]
Substance abuse
While performing with Wild Orchid, Fergie developed an addiction to crystal methamphetamine which followed her 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 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."[91][92] Fergie 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.[93][94]
