Biography and music career
Stacy Ferguson was a child actor, and appeared on the television program Kids Incorporated for several years with Renee Sands, who herself would become another member of Wild Orchid. Her well-scrubbed image on that show presents quite a contrast with the ghetto-funk image she has more recently begun to cultivate.
Later, Stacy was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid. Wild Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third album, their record label declined to release it. This prompted an emotional crisis, and Stacy sought therapy. She left the group shortly thereafter.
Her disappointment with Wild Orchid led to an addiction to ecstacy and crystal meth. She told a Glasgow paper: "I started doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight dropped to 90 lb so I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic. Finally, I started going crazy."
On July 2003, she had a guest role on the Rocket Power special, Reggie's Big Beach Break, on Nickelodeon, voicing a fictitious pop music star named Shaffika.
Solo career
Ferguson is embarking on a solo career, but she has said she considers it only a side project and will still continue to record and tour with the band. will.i.am confirmed her album is called Fergalicious. She has recorded the remake of the song "True" with fellow bandmate will.i.am for the soundtrack to 50 First Dates.
