[edit] Career
[edit] Sugababes
Buchanan met Mutya Buena while at primary school in Kingsbury. At the age of thirteen the pair met Siobhán Donaghy at a party. The three formed a band named Sugababes. In 1998, the Sugababes were offered a record deal and had their first hit in 2000 with Overload. Keisha is the only original Sugababes member still with the band. Siobhan left in September 2001 to be replaced by Heidi Range, and Mutya departed in December 2005 (replaced by Amelle Berrabah).
Keisha is the only Sugababe to have a writing credit on a Sugababes song without any other members of the group, co-writing "Whatever Makes You Happy" on their third studio album, Three.
[edit] Solo career
In the documentary entitled "Sugababes Uncovered" aired 19th December 2006, Keisha stated that she was not leaving the band and wished to carry on recording music under the Sugababes name. Keisha also revealed to the presenter, Dave Berry, that she had only met up with Mutya once since she announced that she was leaving the band and has found it difficult to continue a friendship with Mutya as she now does not see her.
