she started her long-running musical television show appearances
in Kids Incorporated. In 1989 , she left the spotlight
to live a life as a so-called normal teenager.

and singing was what she loved to do. So in 1999 she teamed
up with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated member
Renee Sandstrom to form the band Wild Orchid.

Wild Orchid broke up.

for a few years. She became a dance floor regular and
doing gigs as a backup singer at a number of Los Angeles
clubs and then she met will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

after time talking about her passion of singing. Soon
after she was invited to join the group in the recording
studio. She recorded five songs with the band the Black
Eyed Peas. The band was pleased with the sound of her
voice and invited her to join them permanently.
The 3rd album took two years
to produce, but it was the album that would launch Fergie
in to main stream. In 2003 they released Elephunk, and
it spawned the number one hits "Let's Get It Started
