Keisha Kerreece Fayeanne Buchanan (/ˈkʃə/ KEE-shə; born 30 September 1984) is an English singer and songwriter and a founding member of the girl group Sugababes alongside Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy. With Sugababes, she has had six number-one singles and two number-one studio albums, making them one of the most successful-charting British pop acts of the 21st century so far.[1][2] Buchanan was sacked from the group in September 2009 and replaced by Jade Ewen. Buchanan returned to the group in 2012 with the original line-up.

In 2012, she and her former Sugababes bandmates Buena and Donaghy confirmed their reunion.[3] The original trio was not able to release music under the name Sugababes as it was still being used by the then-current members of the group. Instead they released music under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan before securing the legal rights to the Sugababes name in 2019.
