Mutya Buena has been an international star since the age of 15, when she enjoyed her first hit with the British pop group Sugababes, but it wasn't until 2007 that she stepped out on her own as a solo artist. Born in London's Kingsbury district on May 21, 1985, Rosa Isabel Mutya Buena was raised in a multicultural family (her mother is of Irish descent while her father is from the Philippines), and she developed an interest in music at an early age. When she was eight years old, Buena met Keisha Buchanan and they became fast friends who shared a love for singing. In 1998, Buena and Buchanan were 13 and interested in putting together a singing group when they met a manager who paired them up with fellow singer Siobhan Donaghy. The new trio was named Sugababes, and their first album, One Touch, was released in 2000, with the single "Overload" reaching the British Top Ten.
