The girl grew up creatively gifted, went in for dancing, early joined the world of cinema, voicing the heroes of the cartoon "Peas" - Sally and Lucy. A talented child caught the eye of the producers of the Kids Incorporated project. Participation in the show made the young artist famous and after a while she received an offer to join the Wild Orchid music group. In addition, Stacey acted as the host of the program Great Pretenders ("Big Pretenders").
Attractive and talented Ferguson, having accumulated considerable creative experience, recorded two albums by the beginning of the 2000s. In 2003 she joined the Black Eyed Peas who were looking for a singer. With this hip-hop group, the girl recorded six records. Between working on them and touring, Fergie, as she became known, made time for her solo career. The result was the album The Dutchess (2006). The debut was successful, and the record became triple platinum. The Black Eyed Peas went on hiatus in 2011, and when they reconvened, Stacey never returned.
In 2017, her new solo compilation, Double Dutchess, was released.
In parallel with the creation of albums for the group and her solo career, the performer collaborated with other artists and projects. She has two songs from 2010 on the singer's album Slash. Stacy's A Little Party Never Killed Nobody soundtrack can be heard in The Great Gatsby. Fergie herself starred in films or voiced them.

The girl was not yet ten years old when she outperformed her competitors in the auditions and began working as a dubbing actress. It is in her voice that Lucy and Sally speak in the animated series Peas, which was popular at that time.

Biography of singer Fergie
In addition, the future singer managed to dance, which was also given to her quite well. The purposeful and ambitious girl tried to participate wherever possible, and one day luck was on her side. The producers of Kids Incorporated, a well-known children's project in America, which is a kind of vinaigrette from a musical, comedy and reality show, invited the charismatic and talented artist to become a member of a sensational TV show. Certainly dreaming of a great stage, Stacey Ferguson could not refuse the perfect chance to showcase her talent, so she accepted such a tempting offer. After only a few months, she managed to win the love of the public and become a star for American teenagers. But the promotion on the part of the producers did not end there. Immediately after the end of the show, the young artist was taken to the newly-minted Wild Orchid team.
Thus, before joining The Black Eyed Peas, which took place in 2002, Fergie was already a successful and sought-after singer.
It is to her that the group owes its overwhelming popularity, since, alas, before the appearance of the vocalist, the hip-hop group could not boast of special glory. But the artist also has something to thank her colleagues for, because only next to them she gained real success and became a world celebrity. During the years of their collaboration, six new albums were released, songs from which have always been at the top of the music charts.
Despite the huge employment in the group, the singer managed to pursue a solo career. Her first album "The Dutchess" instantly went platinum, and the composition "Big Girls Don't Cry" took 14th place in the hit parade of the 50 best songs of the first decade of the 21st century. Stacy's debut album reached the platinum mark three times, as a result of which she became the winner of many music awards more than once. Not so long ago, the pop diva recorded the soundtrack for the film The Great Gatsby, which also gained popularity among listeners.
In addition to her singing career, Fergie manages to act in films, voice animation films and participate in various television shows.
Personal life of Hollywood pop diva Fergie
The successful American singer has been legally married to Hollywood actor Josh Duhamel for seven years. The ceremony of their marriage took place in Malibu, in early 2009, and was completely closed to the press. The newlyweds were able to congratulate and support only friends and relatives. Not without the pop diva's favorite unicorns, which flaunted on the walls around the entire perimeter of the solemnly decorated room.
In one of his interviews, the artist's husband admitted that, having once seen the performance of The BEP, he could not take his eyes off their vocalist. He begged the producers of the series, in which at that time he was involved, to invite a popular group to star in a small role with them. He himself took advantage of this moment and met Stacy Ferguson. The couple has been inseparable since 2004.
The marriage turned out to be unshakable, even despite the singer's statements that she is bisexual. And now, having lived with her husband for so many years, the artist claims that she adheres to free views. Nevertheless, in the summer of 2013, the eccentric star gave her husband their first child, whom happy parents named Axl Jack.
In his free time from work and raising a child, Fergie creates new fragrances for Avon, and also creates designer shoes. For many millions of her fans, she has been a real style icon for many years now. Although in fact the singer does not consider herself such. Of course, like any woman, the artist loves to buy new clothes, but she wears everything that fits the description of the word “clothes”.
Also, her athletic figure does not go unnoticed.
The Hollywood diva claims that she does not sit on any diets, but keeps fit through rehearsals and direct performances at concerts.
The singer cannot imagine her life without her favorite dachshunds. Zoe and Meatloaf are considered full-fledged members of her star family.
Her vocals are featured on the album's "Beautiful Dangerous" and "Paradise City" Slash(2010) by the artist of the same name.
In 2013, Fergie recorded the soundtrack "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" for the film The Great Gatsby.
Personal life
In May 2009, Fergie admitted that she is bisexual, and now Ferguson calls herself a woman of "free views".
The couple had a son, Axl Jack Duhamel, on August 29, 2013. Axl Jack Duhamel) .

An excerpt characterizing Fergie
- Do you want to kiss me? she whispered in a barely audible voice, looking at him from under her brows, smiling and almost crying with excitement.Boris blushed.
- How funny you are! he said, leaning towards her, blushing even more, but doing nothing and waiting.
She suddenly jumped up on the tub, so that she stood taller than him, hugged him with both arms, so that her thin bare arms bent above his neck, and throwing her hair back with a movement of her head, kissed him on the very lips.
She slipped between the pots to the other side of the flowers and, head down, stopped.
“Natasha,” he said, “you know that I love you, but ...
- Are you in love with me? Natasha interrupted him.
- Yes, I am in love, but please, let's not do what is now ... Four more years ... Then I will ask for your hand.
Natasha thought.
“Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen…” she said, counting on her thin fingers. - Fine! Is it over?
And a smile of joy and reassurance lit up her lively face.
- It's over! Boris said.
- Forever? – said the girl. - Until death?
And, taking him by the arm, she quietly walked beside him into the sofa with a happy face.
The countess was so tired of visiting that she did not order to receive anyone else, and the porter was only ordered to call everyone who would still come with congratulations to eat without fail. The Countess wanted to talk face to face with her childhood friend, Princess Anna Mikhailovna, whom she had not seen well since her arrival from Petersburg. Anna Mikhailovna, with her tearful and pleasant face, moved closer to the countess's chair.
"I'll be completely frank with you," said Anna Mikhailovna. “There aren’t many of us left, old friends!” That's why I treasure your friendship.
Anna Mikhailovna looked at Vera and stopped. The countess shook hands with her friend.
“Vera,” said the countess, turning to her eldest daughter, who was obviously unloved. How do you have no idea? Don't you feel like you're out of place here? Go to your sisters, or...
Beautiful Vera smiled contemptuously, apparently not feeling the slightest insult.
“If you had told me long ago, mother, I would have left at once,” she said, and went to her room.
But, passing by the sofa, she noticed that two couples were sitting symmetrically in it at two windows. She stopped and smiled contemptuously. Sonya was sitting close beside Nikolai, who was copying for her the poems he had composed for the first time. Boris and Natasha were sitting at the other window and fell silent when Vera entered. Sonya and Natasha looked at Vera with guilty and happy faces.
It was fun and touching to look at these girls in love, but the sight of them, obviously, did not arouse a pleasant feeling in Vera.
“How many times have I asked you,” she said, “not to take my things, you have your own room.
She took the inkwell from Nikolai.
“Now, now,” he said, wetting his pen.
“You know how to do everything at the wrong time,” Vera said. - Then they ran into the living room, so that everyone felt ashamed for you.
In spite of the fact, or precisely because what she said was perfectly true, no one answered her, and all four only looked at each other. She hesitated in the room with an inkwell in her hand.
- And what secrets can there be between Natasha and Boris and between you at your age - all just nonsense!
“Well, what do you care, Vera? - Natasha spoke intercessively in a quiet voice.
She, apparently, was to everyone even more than always, on this day kind and affectionate.
“It’s very stupid,” Vera said, “I’m ashamed of you. What are the secrets?...
- Everyone has their own secrets. We don’t touch you and Berg,” Natasha said, getting excited.
“I think you don’t touch it,” Vera said, “because there can never be anything bad in my actions. But I'll tell my mother how you get along with Boris.
“Natalia Ilyinishna treats me very well,” said Boris. “I can't complain,” he said.
- Leave it, Boris, you are such a diplomat (the word diplomat was in great use among children in the special meaning that they attached to this word); even boring,” said Natasha in an offended, trembling voice. Why is she coming to me? You will never understand this,” she said, turning to Vera, “because you have never loved anyone; you have no heart, you are only madame de Genlis [Madame Genlis] (this nickname, considered very offensive, was given to Vera by Nikolai), and your first pleasure is to make trouble for others. You flirt with Berg as much as you like,” she said quickly.
- Yes, I’m sure I won’t run after a young man in front of the guests ...
“Well, she got her way,” Nikolai intervened, “she told everyone troubles, upset everyone. Let's go to the nursery.
All four, like a flock of frightened birds, got up and left the room.
“They told me trouble, but I didn’t give anything to anyone,” Vera said.
— Madame de Genlis! Madame de Genlis! laughing voices said from behind the door.
The beautiful Vera, who produced such an irritating, unpleasant effect on everyone, smiled and, apparently not affected by what she was told, went to the mirror and straightened her scarf and her hair. Looking at her beautiful face, she seemed to become even colder and calmer.
The conversation continued in the living room.
- Ah! chere, - said the countess, - and in my life tout n "est pas rose. Can't I see that du train, que nous allons, [not all roses. - with our way of life,] our state will not last long! And it's all a club, and its kindness. We live in the country, do we rest? Theatres, hunts, and God knows what. But what can I say about me! Well, how did you arrange all this? I often wonder at you, Annette, how it is you, at your age, ride alone in a wagon, to Moscow, to Petersburg, to all the ministers, to all the nobility, you know how to get along with everyone, I'm surprised!
- Ah, my soul! - answered Princess Anna Mikhailovna. “God forbid you find out how hard it is to be a widow without support and with a son whom you love to adoration. You will learn everything,” she continued with a certain pride. “My process taught me. If I need to see one of these aces, I write a note: “princesse une telle [princess such and such] wants to see such and such” and I go myself in a cab at least two, at least three times, at least four, until I achieve what I need. I don't care what they think of me.
- Well, what about, whom did you ask about Borenka? the countess asked. - After all, here is your officer of the guard, and Nikolushka is a cadet. Someone to bother. Whom did you ask?
- Prince Vasily. He was very nice. Now I have agreed to everything, I have reported to the sovereign,” Princess Anna Mikhailovna said with delight, completely forgetting all the humiliation through which she went through to achieve her goal.
- Why is he getting old, Prince Vasily? the countess asked. - I didn’t see him from our theaters at the Rumyantsevs. And I think he forgot about me. Il me faisait la cour, [He dragged after me,] - the countess remembered with a smile.
- Still the same, - answered Anna Mikhailovna, - amiable, crumbling. Les grandeurs ne lui ont pas touriene la tete du tout. [The high position did not turn his head at all.] “I regret that I can do too little for you, dear princess,” he tells me, “order.” No, he is a nice person and a wonderful native. But you know, Nathalieie, my love for my son. I don't know what I wouldn't do to make him happy. And my circumstances are so bad,” Anna Mikhaylovna continued sadly and lowering her voice, “so bad that I am now in the most terrible position. My unfortunate process eats up everything I have and does not move. I don't have, you can imagine, a la lettre [literally] no dime of money, and I don't know what to equip Boris with. She took out her handkerchief and wept. - I need five hundred rubles, and I have one twenty-five-ruble note. I am in such a position ... One of my hopes is now on Count Kirill Vladimirovich Bezukhov. If he does not want to support his godson - after all, he baptized Borya - and assign him something to support, then all my troubles will be lost: I will have nothing to equip him with.
Fergie is a singer you can talk about endlessly. For this reason, today we decided to dedicate our article to her.
Early years, childhood and Fergie's family
Stacey Ann Ferguson, now known by the pseudonym Fergie (erroneously Fergie), was born on March 27, 1975. California is her hometown. Perhaps it was this circumstance that predetermined the entire life path of the artist.The thing is that already at the age of nine, our today's heroine went through a difficult casting and got the job of a voice artist. The girl gave her voice to two characters of the animated series "Peas" (Sally and Lucy). It was this small success that allowed Fergie to plunge into the atmosphere of creativity, which later became the meaning of life for her.
In addition, even as a child, Fergie became seriously interested in dancing. In this field, she achieved good success, and therefore very soon began to appear at various children's competitions and competitions. Thanks to her bright external data, as well as the ability to dance, the young celebrity soon attracted the attention of the producers of the Kids Incorporated children's project.
Definitely describe the essence of this TV show is quite difficult. This project is usually described as a mixture of comedy and musical, but it also has features that are typical for various reality shows.
One way or another, it was Kids Incorporated that allowed the young artist to make a serious statement about herself for the first time. She became very popular among children of her age, and therefore, soon the producers invited her to join the newly created Wild Orchid group. In addition, even in childhood, Fergie managed to try herself as a co-host of the television program Big Pretenders (Great Pretenders).
Fergie's Star Trek
Thus, by the time the joint performances with The Black Eyed Peas began, our today's heroine already had considerable experience in musical performances. Her beautiful vocals, as well as bright external data, made a good impression on the other members of the group, and already in 2002, Fergie became a full member of the entire team.Black Eyed Peas and Fergie
