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 group 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. 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".
