A-List (group)

A-List are a Kuboian four-piece lipstick rap group based in Hausekeep, North Kuboia, which consists of female vocalists Petti P, Mayzie Kat and Stella C, and male vocalist Zeke Kattenby. They are one of the most prominent and successful groups in the lipstick rap scene.

History
Petti P spoke about the group's formation in the spring of 2001 during an interview in 2006 citing:
 * "We had just left school or were away to, and we had no idea what we wanted to do. We were big fans of Missy Robins and her tunes and I had been thinking to myself 'This missy can't have all the spotlight to herself.' I had a bit of experience with music and singing and wanted to hop in on the action, but I was a bit worried about doing the thing on my own so I thought I should make a band or something. Getting Stella and Mayzie aboard was easy but we wanted Zeke on there too. He originallu put himself down as the group's singer but I said 'Woah honey, the lipstick scene has no boys in it. We gotta change that.' He liked the Spice Girls and I had heard him singing that Girl Thing tune in the shower before so it was a no brainer."

A-List were signed to [TBA] in the spring of 2001. Shortly after, they released two singles, "Hear Us Out" and "Right Now". Both songs received moderate airplay on Bubblegum Radio and were played regularly on Nickelodeon Kuboia (as part of its Nick Party block), which allowed them to reach the top forty of the Karuboia charts. Shortly afterwards in 2003, the group signed to Atomic Sound.

The group released their debut album, The Kids, in 2004, which was supported by three singles, "Together", "The Kids" and "Excuse Me". The album reached number 2 in the Karuboia charts. In spite of its success, each of the group's members, particularly Stella C and Zeke Kattenby, began to pursue solo careers shortly after the album's release, resulting in the group decreasing activity. In spite of this, the group have continued to record music.

Public image and musical style
Although A-List's early work was mostly in the traditional lipstick rap style, the group began to experiment with different genres starting with their album The Kids; the album's titular track draws influence from alternative and indie rock whilst "Excuse Me" has a more R&B-sounding instrumental.

When performing together, each member of the group normally has a colour that is associated with them, and typically wear clothes and accessories that feature said colour; Petti P normally wears pink, whilst Stella C wears blue, Zeke Kattenby wears red and Mayzie Kat wears green. Stella C explains that this was done to give each member their own identity explaining "Whilst we are a group, we wanted everybody to stand out as well."
