Music Career Highlights

Starting with Steps (1997–2001)

Lisa Scott-Lee became famous as part of the UK pop group Steps. The group formed in 1997. They had many hit songs, with 14 of them reaching the top 5 in the UK music charts. Steps decided to take a break on Boxing Day in 2001.

Solo Music Journey (2002–2008)

After Steps took a break, Lisa first helped manage her three younger brothers' band, 3SL. When their band didn't have much success, Lisa decided to start her own solo career. She signed a deal with Mercury Records.

In May 2003, Lisa released her first solo song, "Lately". She helped write this song, and it reached number 6 on the music charts. Her second song, "Too Far Gone", came out in September 2003 and reached number 11. After this, Mercury Records decided not to continue working with Lisa. This meant her planned album, Unleashed, was not released.

In 2004, Lisa worked with Intenso Project on a song called "Get It On". They even paid for the music video themselves. The song was later released and reached number 23 on the charts.

In 2005, a TV show called Totally Scott-Lee followed Lisa's life. It showed her trying to get her solo career back on track. On the show, Lisa said she would quit music if her next song didn't reach the top ten. She released a song called "Electric". Despite the TV show and media attention, "Electric" reached number 13, just missing the top ten. Lisa later said she regretted making that promise.

Lisa also appeared on the TV show Dancing On Ice in 2007. She finished in 6th place. Her first full solo album, Never or Now, was released digitally in June 2007.
