Lisa Scott Lee
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Lisa Michelle Scott-Lee, born 5 November 1975 in St Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales, is a Welsh singer.

A graduate of the Italia Conti Academy stage school, Scott-Lee is best known for her five years with one of the most successful UK pop groups of all time, Steps. The group, which came together in 1997 and had 14 top 10 singles in the UK, split up at the end of 2001.

Scott-Lee spent a short time managing her three younger brothers, including Andy in a group of their own called 3SL, but after little success they were dropped from their label, and split up.

Deciding Scott-Lee would go solo, Scott-Lee was signed to Mercury Records and stepped back into the limelight in April 2003 for her first single, "Lately", a song which she wrote. The single was released on 12 May 2003 and pulled into the singles chart at a respectable number 6.

On 8 September 2003 Scott-Lee released her second single (also written by her), "Too Far Gone", which entered the charts at number 11.

Mercury parted company with Scott-Lee when they feared her success may be limited, she was left without a record company and as a result her album, "Unleashed", was cancelled, although promotional samplers had already been released.

Scott-Lee went on to be featured in the Girls of FHM music video for "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" in the summer of 2004, all the while preparing to release a new single.

The single, "Get It On", was a collaboration between Intenso Project and herself. At the time the song was created they had yet to score a record deal for the song and were forced to self-fund the video. Eventually Ministry of Sound picked the song (just the song, not them as a group or Scott-Lee as a solo act) up and it was released on 28 November 2004. Despite numerous personal appearances and various promotion events the song charted at number 23.

In the summer of 2005, it was revealed that a camera crew from MTV had been following Scott-Lee for nearly a year, tracking her life, and those of her husband (Johnny Shentall of Hear'Say), her brother (Andy Scott-Lee), manager (Nathan Moore), and her brother's girlfriend Michelle Heaton (of Liberty X). The show was to be the UK version of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.

As time passed more information was revealed. The show, penned Totally Scott-Lee, originally Scott-Lee Unlimited, was to follow Scott-Lee on her effort to put her career back on track. The challenge of the show was that she had to score a top ten hit with her next single, or she would be forced to quit the music industry.

Scott-Lee was signed to a small record label, Concept Records, and began recording songs for her next single. Concept chose "Electric" and starting making plans for its release. The single had to be released on 10 October 2005 in order to meet with deadlines for the MTV show.

The female head of Concept Records has gone on record (on the show and in private) several times saying that she was against the record being released on this date. One of the main reasons for this was that it would have very little promotion time (5 weeks as opposed to the usual 8-10 weeks).

The song was released and, despite a television show backing her, it failed to reach the top ten, as "Electric" charted at number 13.
