Tiny Lights

Tiny Lights were a Kuboian pop group which consisted of rappers Violet Stars and Raddy Goodberry, and singers Taniye Fazio, Hyh Rodgers and siblings Rosie and Tyo Flournoy. The group also featured backup keyboardist Emerl Macrae, who the group referred to as "Butler". Formed in 2001, the group enjoyed three years of activity.

Alongside releasing music, the group appeared in their own television series titled "Tiny Lights Forever".

Although the group seperated in November 2004, they have had several unofficial reunions.

2000-2001: Formation
In December 2000, during a school trip, Violet, Taniye, Raddy and Hyh were taken to Pay & Sing Recording Studio, where they met Personality member Brouniet Durancie. Talking to her friends, Violet said that they should form together and make music like Personality, although the three did not think she was being serious at the time. In January 2001, Violet's father paid money so she could record at Pay & Sing. After listening to Violet's recording (it has never been revealed what the recording actually was), the three agreed to record some material with Violet.

Coming up with the group’s name, Violet said "we were thinking about call ourselves Bright Lights, but we thought that sounded boring. Since we were kids at the time, we thought calling ourselves Tiny Lights was a good idea. I’m glad we came up with something sensible. It would have eventually became embarrassing if we called ourselves something stupid."

In April that year, Violet and her father were introduced to another Personality member, Starline Roberts, who suggested that the group went to see Chayn Hostins about getting a record deal. Although Taniye's father was against the idea at first, he changed his mind after Violet's father agreed to pay all the fees so the four could get signed to BMG.

The other two members of Tiny Lights, Rosie and Tyo, were put into the group when their mother, who had been a working partner with Violet's father for a couple of years, asked if they could be added to the member list. The group were reluctant on allowing them to join at first, but Violet gave approval after some convincing from her father.

After Tiny Lights
In an interview in 2017, Violet said she cringes when she listens to her preteen self rapping, and admits that she often gets embarrassed looking back to the time when she was part of the group.
