Member ofSugababes

Rosa Isabel Mutya Buena (/mʊˈtiːjə/; born 21 May 1985) is a British singer and songwriter who rose to fame as a member of girl group Sugababes. With the Sugababes, Buena had four UK number-one singles, an additional six top-ten hits and three multi-platinum albums. After leaving the group in December 2005, she released her debut solo album Real Girl in June 2007. The album's title track reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, while the album entered the top ten on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the BPI.

In 2012, Buena reunited with her former Sugababes bandmates Siobhán Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan.[1] The original trio originally opted to release music under the name MKS (Mutya Keisha Siobhan), releasing one single, "Flatline", in 2013. In September 2019, the group officially confirmed their return as Sugababes.

In February 2020, Buena collaborated with London-based production duo Electric Pineapple on the pop track entitled "Black Valentine", which was followed by the UK garage-inspired track "The One" with electronic music-producer duo Ryuken in May 2021. In April 2023, Buena was featured on the electro-house track "All I Own" by Dutch-Filipino DJ Laidback Luke. In 2019, The Guardian ranked Buena second on their list of the best girl-band members of all time.[2]

Early life

Rosa Isabel Mutya Buena was born on 21 May 1985 in Kingsbury[3] to a Filipino father and an Irish mother. She has five brothers and three younger sisters. Her sister Maya died soon after birth in 1986, and Buena subsequently dedicated a song to her on the Sugababes album Three.[4][5][6] She attended Kingsbury High School.[7] In 1994, she appeared on an episode of Barrymore.[8]

Career

1998–2005: Early career and Sugababes

Main article: Sugababes

In 1998, at age 13, Buena, along with Siobhán Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan, formed the Sugababes. The group were managed by Ron Tom, who had previously managed the British girl group All Saints. Buena and Buchanan had known each other since they were eight years old, while Donaghy had been managed by Tom over the prior two years.[9] Their debut single, "Overload", was released on 11 September 2000, and reached the top ten on the UK Singles Chart.[10] It was nominated for a BRIT Award for "Best British Single" in 2001.[9] The group's debut album, One Touch, was released in November 2000, and peaked at number 26 on the UK Albums Chart, eventually earning a gold certification.[11][12] The album spawned three further singles, two of which reached the UK top twenty.[11] The sales of One Touch did not meet the expectations of London Records and the group was subsequently dropped.[13]

Sugababes second album, Angels with Dirty Faces, was released in August 2002 through Island Records. Influenced by the new wave, dance, and pop music of the 1980s, the record enjoyed success in the UK, where it reached number two and went triple platinum.[11][12] It produced two number one singles and was nominated for "Best British Album" at the 2003 BRIT Awards.[11][14] Three, Sugababes' third album, was released in October 2003. It reached number three in the UK and produced four singles, all of which reached the UK top ten.[11] The album contains the song "Maya", which is sung solely by Buena, and is dedicated to her late sister who passed in 2002.[15] The group's fourth album, Taller in More Ways, was released in October 2005. The album reached number one and went double platinum in the UK.[11][12] On 21 December 2005, it was announced that Buena had left Sugababes. According to an announcement on their official website, "[Buena]'s decision was based purely on personal reasons and she will continue to remain the best of friends with both [Buchanan] and [Range]". Buena later stated in an interview that she was suffering from postnatal depression after the birth of her daughter combined with the group's increasingly hectic schedules, and chose to leave to spend more time with her daughter.[16] In a retrospective interview in 2025, Buena revealed that if she had been allowed a one month break from the group after the birth of her daughter, she would have stayed.[17]

The last remaining original member, Buchanan, said upon Buena's departure, "...we will all miss Mutya, but we also knew there was still a place for bringing in somebody new who could help us carry on taking the Sugababes brand of music forward".[18] Amelle Berrabah joined the group two days after Buena's departure.[18]

2006–2011: Real Girl, other ventures and musical hiatus

Following her departure from Sugababes, Buena began working on her debut album in early 2006 after signing with her previous label, Universal Island Records. Buena's first single to be released in the UK was a ballad duet with George Michael, titled "This Is Not Real Love", from Michael's greatest hits album Twenty Five (2006).[19] It was released in November 2006, reaching number 15 in the UK,[20] and the top ten in Italy and Denmark.[21] Her debut solo single, "Real Girl", was released in May 2007. It reached number two in the UK, and was shortlisted for "Best British Single" at the 2008 BRIT Awards.[22] The song samples Lenny Kravitz's song "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over", and was produced by London-based production company Full Phat, consisting of Matt Ward and Dean Gillard.[23] "Real Girl" was also featured on the Sex and the City, Vol 2: More Music Soundtrack.[24]

Buena's debut album, Real Girl, was released on 4 June 2007,[25] and peaked at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart.[26] The track "Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)", her collaboration with dance duo Groove Armada from their album Soundboy Rock (2007), was released in the UK in July 2007. It peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, and spent seven weeks in the top forty.[27] The fourth release from Real Girl, "Just a Little Bit", reached number 65 in the UK.[28] Buena also collaborated with Amy Winehouse, on a re-working of the track "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes titled "B Boy Baby", which reached number 73 in the UK.[29] Buena was nominated for the "Best UK Newcomer" award at the 2007 MOBO Awards,[30][31] which took place on 19 September 2007. In December 2007, Real Girl was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting sales of 100,000 copies in the country.[32] On 12 February 2008, Buena was dropped by Island Records due to the poor charting positions of her last two singles from Real Girl, "Just a Little Bit" and "B Boy Baby".[33] In October 2008, Buena appeared on Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong. In 2009, Buena collaborated with various independent artists, including on Ashley Walters' single "With You", from his album Ashley Walters,[34] the Don-E track "The Time Is Now",[35] "Fallin" with Agent X,[36] and "Give Back" with Tah Mac.[37] Buena also joined an array of artists to feature on the debut single of the London-based production duo NightShift, titled "Can You Persuade Me", a remix of "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" (2009) by Pitbull.[38]

On 2 January 2009, Buena entered Celebrity Big Brother 6 as a housemate. On 16 January 2009, Day 15 of the series, she walked out of the Big Brother house after surviving eviction the same night, admitting to missing her daughter.[39]

In March 2010, six months after Buchanan's departure from the Sugababes, Buena filed a claim for ownership of the band's name with the European Trademark Authority. Though Buchanan and Donaghy's names appear on the trademark submission, it was confirmed that Buena was the sole applicant for submission and Donaghy and Buchanan were not involved.[40] The fourth line-up launched an opposition to the claim on the basis that goodwill and reputation in the mark and trading name "Sugababes" belongs to the partnership – not an individual.[41]

In September 2010, Buena contributed to six tracks on the album The Sound of Camden, which was recorded in Israel with music producer Roy Sela.[42] The album explores themes from Camden Town market in London, and has been available for purchase at the market itself and online. Buena recorded a series of covers of rock songs from rock bands such as U2, the Pixies and Iron Maiden, in a "chilled-out-lounge style".[43]

In October 2010, Buena expressed uncertainty about continuing in the music industry and said she was currently training to become a psychologist for children.[44] Despite the announcement, Buena teamed up with City Boy Soul, a band consisting of ex-Damage singer Coree Richards and British rapper Gak Jonze, and digitally released "Be Ok" in January 2011.[45] Buena also recorded lead vocals for "Give Me Love", penned by UK DJ/Producer Paul Morrell.[46] Buena performed at Birmingham Gay Pride on 28 May 2011.[47] In December 2011, a video blog posted by The Sabotages Studio revealed that Buena was set to release "My Love" featuring Thor Alaye in early 2012, and "Bedroom" featuring Shide Boss that same year.[48]

2011–2017: Forming Mutya Keisha Siobhan

In October 2011, several news outlets reported that the original line-up of the Sugababes would reform.[49][50][51] In January 2012, further circulations that the group would reunite were sparked, after both Buena and Buchanan tweeted they were in the studio with "two other females" and British rapper Professor Green.[52] However, Buena later denied this on Twitter, saying: "No track [with] keisha or professor G he was around tha studio. im jus workin on my stuff @ tha moment. (sic)"[52] Despite this, Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé confirmed to MTV UK that she had written new songs for Buena, Buchanan and Donaghy, saying: "Yes, that is true. I've written for the original line-up of the Sugababes [sic], which I'm very happy about because I just loved them when they first came out. I loved their sound, it was so cool. It was very different, so I'm happy to kind of be involved in what started the whole Sugababes journey. It sounds amazing."[53] In April 2012, it was reported that the line-up had signed a £1 million record deal with Polydor Records.[54]

In June 2012, Donaghy confirmed on Twitter that new music would be released, saying: "the soonest it'll be is in 2 weeks. The latest is 10 weeks."[55] In July 2012, it was officially confirmed the group had reformed under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan and were writing songs for a new album under Polydor.[56]

The group appeared on the cover of fashion magazine Ponystep in December 2012.[57] That same month, they performed an intimate gig at Ponystep's New Year's Eve party.[58] The performance marked the first time Buena, Buchanan and Donaghy had performed together in over a decade. On 26 March 2013, the group featured on a remix of Phoenix's single "Entertainment".[59] Mutya Keisha Siobhan's first single, "Flatline", was released in June 2013.[60][61] The track experienced moderate commercial success, peaking at number 50 in the UK.[62] MKS performed their first official headlining gig at Scala on 1 August.[63] On 6 November 2013, Buena said that she was open to reclaiming the Sugababes name.[64] In November 2013, the group embarked on the Sacred Three Tour, playing six dates across the UK. In February 2014, Buena attended the NME Awards 2014 as part of Mutya Keisha Siobhan, where the trio performed with English electronic music band Metronomy.[65] On 13 February 2015, the group released the single "Back in the Day".[66]

2017–present: Solo projects and return to Sugababes

In March 2017, Buena started her own music agency, called Colour of Musiq.[67] In April 2018, Buena was featured on the track "Game Over" with Rockwell, JSTN and Rico Flames,[68] and also appeared in its music video.[69] Around this time, Buena began undertaking various television projects. She appeared in an episode of MTV's Just Tattoo of Us, and appeared in series five of the British dating reality series Celebs Go Dating on E4.[70] In 2019, she participated in the fourth series of the British reality game show Celebrity Coach Trip paired with So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia.[71][72] The couple won the series.[73]

In September 2019, Buena, along with Donaghy and Buchanan, regained rights to the Sugababes name which allowed Mutya Keisha Siobhan to use their original group name.[74]

Buena resumed releasing music with the Sugababes after the group regained the rights to their name, recording a cover of the Sweet Female Attitude song "Flowers" for DJ Spoony's album Garage Classical (2019).[75] The group had planned to release further new music in 2020, but the plans were later put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[76] In February 2020, she released the single "Black Valentine", on which she has writing credit, in collaboration with London-based pop duo Electric Pineapple.[77] Later that year, she expressed an interest in releasing an R&B album.[76] In February 2022, Buena released the single "Feels Good" alongside Ryuken.[78][79] On 20 May 2022, Buena released the single "Takin' It Easy" alongside Morfius.[80] In 2022, Buena, as part of Sugababes, appeared at various festivals, embarked on a headline tour and released The Lost Tapes, an album consisting of their 2013 single "Flatline" and previously unreleased material.[81]

In April 2023, Buena released the single "All I Own", in collaboration with Dutch-Filipino DJ and producer Laidback Luke.[82] On 15 September 2023, Buena, along with Buchanan and Donaghy, released their first solo single under the Sugababes name since reclaiming it, titled "When the Rain Comes", to positive reception.[83][84] The group performed the song on The Graham Norton Show,[85][86] and on Jools' Annual Hootenanny.[87][88]

In September 2024, Buena appeared as a contestant on the nineteenth series of Celebrity MasterChef. She was eliminated in the third round.[89]

In 2025, Buena, as part of the Sugababes, self-released the singles "Jungle", "Weeds", and "Shook", and embarked on the Sugababes 25' Tour between April and May.[90] In November 2025, she released her autobiography Real Girl,[91] and appeared as a guest judge on the seventh series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.[92]

Personal life

In March 2005, Buena gave birth to her daughter Tahlia.[93]

In September 2014, Buena was declared to be bankrupt by a High Court judge.[94] In 2020, she criticised the media for not covering the fact that she instantly paid off her £100,000 tax debts when she was made aware of the administrative error made by her accountants.[95]

Legacy

In 2004, famed British music producer Brian Higgins of Xenomania, in an interview with The Guardian, described Buena as "undoubtedly the finest female singer this country has produced in years - for me the closest comparison is Dusty Springfield".[96] According to Vogue Philippines, Buena has been "routinely lauded by the industry and the press as the best British singer of her generation", being "a husky-voiced crooner who brings intimate conviction to every line she sings".[97] In 2015, Billboard included Buena's song "Real Girl" on their list of "Girl Group Solo Songs: The 10 Best (Non-Beyonce) Singles of the Modern Era", stating that "[Buena] was at her most confident [on "Real Girl"], with a cool sample flip of Lenny Kravitz’s "It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over."[98] In 2019, The Guardian ranked Buena number two on their list of the best girl band members of all time, second to American singer Beyoncé, stating "As the [Sugababes] lineups changed and their sound grew more commercial, she remained the group’s anchor, her lived-in voice adding grit to romcom-sized ballads "Too Lost in You" or "Stronger", and a genuine sadness to the anti-bullying anthem "Ugly".[99]
