About One-T & Cool-T

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, with Thomas Pieds directing the music videos, and creating the artwork of the characters. The Concept 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 smokes 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. 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. 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.
