| 2>
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 "The Magic Key" music video, he is kicked out of heaven, and returned to Earth.
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.

| History | 2>
One-T made their first appearance in France during the summer of 2001, with the release of the hit single "Music Is The One-T ODC". The single was a success and was ranked the 82nd best-selling single over the year of 2001. It was followed shortly by the single "Bein' a Star".
One-T returned to the dance music scene in the summer of 2003 with their single "The Magic Key", which introduced One-T's best friend, Cool-T, as the rap singer in the song. The title reached 9th place of the best-selling singles and is ranked the 22nd best-selling single for 2003. "The Magic Key" was also well received in Germany, where it reached 5th place of the best-selling singles, and Denmark, 4th place. Their first full-length album, The One-T ODC, was released on July 2003.
Several singles followed over the years, including the theme song for Starsky & Hutch, and Kamasutra, released in early 2005.
One-T's second studio album, The One-T's ABC, was released in early 2006 as a digital album, and was available only on a few legal downloading sites, such as iTunes. In 2007, the album was released physically and garnered much success in France and the rest of Europe.
