About Siobhán Donaghy

Siobhán Emma Donaghy is a British singer and songwriter best known as a founding member of the girl group Sugababes. Donaghy left Sugababes in 2001 and released her debut solo album, Revolution in Me, in 2003. Her second studio album, Ghosts, was released in 2007 and met critical acclaim. Donaghy signed her first management contract at age 12 with Ron Tom, who at the time also managed British group All Saints. Sugababes signed to London Records, and Donaghy was 16 when their first single, "Overload", was released in 2000. She was Mutya's friend, so I ended up being the odd one out." Buchanan and Buena reportedly invented their own coded language to exclude Donaghy from conversations, and allegedly bullied her out of the group. Donaghy and Buena later began recording music together with British producer Don-E, with Buena eventually inviting her friend Keisha Buchanan to a recording session.
