Mutya To Launch Her Own Record Label?

FIRST she quit Sugababes - now Mutya Buena is preparing to launch her very own label. The Real Girl is so passionate about her music she is hoping to set up a record company to “represent the underground”. Mutya, 22, told me: “Having my own label’s been in my head from the very beginning, representing the underground with mix CDs. I want to be able to keep putting stuff out in an underground way. I need to promote that scene as well.”

he teeny diva, who releases new single Just A Little Bit on October 22, is also keen to help out those pals who are still waiting for their big break.
