Fergie was born Stacy Ann Ferguson on March 27, 1975 in California. Prior to becoming a member of the Black Eyes Peas, Fergie appeared in Kids Inc. for 5 years in the 80s and was a member of the group Wild Orchid. Between the disappointment of her first group's success and her second group's massive success, Fergie got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. She said of her recovery from addiction: "It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with. I dug deep as to why I got there. 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." Fergie had beaten her addiction by the time she joined the Black Eyes Peas in 2003.
