CP Virus

Caroline Gerda Anne Peutz (b. 12th October 1984), better known by her stage name CP Virus (sometimes C. Virus) is a Kuboian rapper and record producer. She is credited as one of the pioneers for lipstick rap music, having recorded songs under the genre since her teenage years.

Early life
Caroline Gerda Anne Peutz was born in the Dominion of Kuboia on 12th October 1984 in "Kuboia Capital", which is now Reichetto, East Kuboia. Her Dutch mother and Flemish father met in the Netherlands in the 1970s and migrated to Jetania shortly after before moving to Kuboia shortly before her birth. She has two younger sisters; Denise and Adrianne, and a younger brother called Zeke. Peutz and her parents moved to Hausekeep in North Kuboia shortly before Denise's birth as the area was deemed more family-friendly.

As a child, Peutz attended Hausekeep Novice School and Hausekeep Advanced School, where she met rapper Missy Robins. She states that she was "not very good [at school], especially numeracy" and failed to achieve good grades. She and Robins generally spent their lunch breaks and days off freestyling over songs and instrumentals the two had saved on personal mixtapes. Eventually, Peutz got some credibility when she started rapping on community radio stations - she said she was "kind of doing freestyles, but they weren't really freestyles since I had written the lyrics down. More just rapping random lines over random beats." She eventually signed to a record label called Hot Shot Records and began to release mixtapes and white label singles. She eventually decided to drop out of school in order to focus on her music career.

Her stage name, CP Virus, comes from the term "computer virus", which she used after her mother's computer got a SCA.

Musical style
Peutz' music is often in classic lipstick rap style, with hip hop vocals combined with a teen pop feel. A majority of her most popular songs are based around samples of popular songs from the 1960s and 1970s.
