"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. In 2003, she was invited for a part in The Black Eyed Peas' song "Hey Mama". The members of the group were so impressed by Stacy's performance that she became the fourth member of the band. Since then, she's mostly known as "Fergie".
