Ferguson was born in 1962 in Stobhill Hospital, in the Springburn community district of Glasgow to Robert, a post office worker and Scottish Nationalist and Janet Ferguson, a primary school teacher. When he was six months old, he and his family moved from their Springburn flat to a Development Corporation house in the nearby New Town of Cumbernauld, where he grew up "chubby and bullied". They lived there as Cumbernauld was rehousing many Glaswegians away from the poor housing conditions and damage to the city from World War II. Ferguson attended Muirfield Primary School and Cumbernauld High School. At age 16, Ferguson left high school to become an electronics technician at a local factory of the company Burroughs Corporation. His first visit to the United States was in 1975 at age 13, where he visited an uncle who lived on Long Island near New York City. When he moved to New York City in 1983, he worked in construction in Harlem. He was later a bouncer at an underground nightclub called Save the Robots before returning to Scotland.
