Founding member of the Sugababes, Mutya Buena, sets the record straight on her spectacular career, and the pop drama that rocked the 00s As one third of the iconic original line-up of the Sugababes, Mutya Buena was at the heart of a pop-schism that rocked the noughties. In this bare-all memoir, we're taken through Mutya's spectacular career, from forming the group at thirteen and leaving amongst a flurry of rumours, to embarking on a solo career and the group's triumphant return to the music scene. From the highs of topping the charts and working with music royalty to the lows of post-natal depression and tabloid drama, Mutya speaks about the some of her brightest and darkest moments for the very first time. So often mis-judged by the press, Real Girl is Mutya Buena's story on her own terms.
