Stacy Ann Ferguson, known professionally as “Fergie” (previously Fergie Duhamel) is an American singer, rapper, and actor.
From 1984 to 1989, she starred on the musical TV show Kids Incorporated (1984–1993), and was a member of the girl group Wild Orchid from 1990 to 2001. The group released three studio albums during her tenure. In 2003, she was invited by will.i.am to audition for the Black Eyed Peas, and landed the gig, officially joining the group for a very successful few years during which she raised her profile considerably.
In 2006, Fergie struck out on her solo career with the debut album, The Dutchess. To date, she has released two solo studio albums, four extended plays, and has been the featured artist on five singles. Of her 11 singles, she has five top-10 hits, including “London Bridge” (2006),“Big Girls Don’t Cry” (2007), and “Glamorous” (2007), all of which peaked at number one.

As of 2017, her solo music has sold 35 million albums and 60 million singles worldwide.
Fergie's film and television career includes appearances — some voice, some live-action — in over 30 movies and shows, including Poseidon (2006), Planet Terror (2007), and Nine (2009).
Fergie was married to actor Josh Duhamel from 2004 to 2019. They have one son, Axl Jack Duhamel. She has been open about her sexuality, and has stated many times that while she has never had a serious relationship with a woman, she still is bisexual.
