Wild Orchid was a teen-oriented dance-pop group that gained a small following in the mid-'90s. The three members of Wild Orchid -- <a href="spotify:artist:376bqC996FUx4OzQRpQsi2">Stacy Ferguson</a> (born March 27, 1975, Whittier, CA), Stefanie Ridel (born May 17, 1973), and Renee Sandstrom (born February 15, 1974, Worchester, MA) -- met as children, and decided to form a group after they acted together in the Nickelodeon show Kids Incorporated and sang backup for <a href="spotify:artist:40enFxfEXXsEXKOt1vgx0k">Martika</a>. The group signed with RCA, and their A&R rep, Ron Fair, co-produced the band's eponymous 1996 debut, drafting in such session musicians, collaborators, and writers as Jerry Hey's Horns, <a href="spotify:artist:2EDztm3AezdcJksqJx1W2C">David Frank</a>, Abraham Laboriel, Sr., <a href="spotify:artist:6X4LvL2xVwf3B6WuQ0YAhm">Junior Vazques</a>, Bob Brockmann, and <a href="spotify:artist:3bmFPbLMiLxtR9tFrTcKcP">Matthew Wilder</a>. Wild Orchid was greeted with generally positive reviews and was a moderate hit; Oxygen followed in 1998. The band remained a footnote in pop history, even after <a href="spotify:artist:376bqC996FUx4OzQRpQsi2">Ferguson</a> (shortened to <a href="spotify:artist:3r17AfJCCUqC9Lf0OAc73G">Fergie</a>) joined <a href="spotify:artist:1yxSLGMDHlW21z4YXirZDS">Black Eyed Peas</a> and began a successful solo career. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
