One-T is a French electronic/hip-hop/house project. The group was introduced in the summer of 2001, as cartoon characters, similar to the Gorillaz. The music of One-T is currently being produced by Eddy Gronfier and written by Thomas Pieds, also directing the music videos and creating the artwork of the characters.
The concept of One-T is to create a lively world, living through the texts of songs, album artwork and video clips. This world is the symbol of the Next Generation, living between drugs, sex and electronic music. One-T is composed of several characters:
One-T (main character): A young 13-year-old boy who takes drugs and insults his new-age parents. Despite his young age, he dreams of becoming a DJ and wants to unite all teenagers around the world against the war in Iraq, and continue to produce his influences in different languages.
Nine-T: A young Latino and best friend of One-T. He organizes events in his father's bar.
Fat-T: A fat Latino MC, who appeared in "Hamburguesa".
E: A gifted Japanese computer hacker. He lives with his twin sister Ee and never goes outside.
Ee: The twin sister of E. Her personality is the complete opposite of E's.
Cool-T: Another friend of One-T, but of African descent. As explained in "The Magic Key" song, Cool-T gets shot by Travoltino and becomes the band's guardian angel. However, in later "Kamasutra" music video he looks alive.
Bull-T: One-T's pet dog. Bull-T was genetically manipulated to never bark loudly or be mean.
The enemies of One-T:
Travoltino: A mobster and television personality. He owns a record company, a TV channel, a newspaper, and a nightclub, where it is difficult to enter without being "jet-set." He is the enemy of One-T, and is the one who shot Cool-T.
Acidman: An inventor and dealer of his own drugs. His work is funded by Travoltino. Acidman is currently wanted by the police.
