Starting her career at a young age, she appeared as an actress on the television show Kids Incorporated. From there she went into her singing career in the music group called Wild Orchid, which broke up shortly after their third album was recorded and denied release.

In 2003, will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas held auditions for the song "Shut Up" on the album Elephunk. Fergie became the newest addition to the group, fitting right in with the boys.

She also recorded the song "Labels and Love" for the Sex and the City soundtrack in 2008. On top of all of this fame, she has still time for her hubby and Hollywood heartthrob Josh Duhamel.
