Lisa Michelle Scott-Lee (born 5 November 1975 in St Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales) and grew up in Rhyl. She is a Welsh singer and a graduate of the Italia Conti Academy stage school, who 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 on Boxing Day 2001. Scott-Lee spent a short time managing her three younger brothers, including Andy, in a group of their own called 3SL. After little success they were dropped from their label, and split up. Scott-Lee decided she would go solo and was signed to Mercury Records. She stepped back into the limelight in April 2003 with her debut single, "Lately", which she co-wrote. The single was released on 12 May 2003 and pulled into the singles chart at a respectable number 6.
