'''FannyPack''' was a New York City-based electronic/hip hop group that was formed in 2002 by music producers [[Matt Goias]] and "Fancy".<ref name= "NSFP">{{cite news |last=Milner |first=Greg |url= https://www.spin.com/2003/06/northern-state-dying-stereo-startime-fannypack-so-stylistic-tommy-boy/ |title=Northern State, 'Dying In Stereo' (Startime) / Fannypack, 'So Stylistic' (Tommy Boy) |work=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]] |date=June 29, 2003 |accessdate=June 25, 2019}}</ref> The band featured vocals by Jessibel Suthiwong, Belinda Lovell, and Cat Hartwell.<ref name= "butts">{{cite news |last=Tam |first=Christina |url= https://nypost.com/2003/07/21/no-butts-about-it-the-pack-is-back/ |title=No Butts about It, the Pack Is Back |work=[[New York Post]] |date=July 21, 2003 |accessdate=June 25, 2019}}</ref>

The group's 2003 debut album, ''[[So Stylistic]]'', was released in the United States by [[Tommy Boy Records]] and featured the hit single "Cameltoe".<ref name= "stylistic">{{cite news |last=Abebe |first=Nitsuh |url= https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/3259-so-stylistic/ |title='Fannypack: So Stylistic |work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] |date=August 6, 2003 |accessdate=June 25, 2019}}</ref> "Cameltoe" peaked at number 38 in Australia.<ref name="ARIA">{{cite Ryan|page=99}}</ref> In 2005, Fannypack released their follow-up LP, ''[[See You Next Tuesday (album)|See You Next Tuesday]]'', which featured guest vocals by Brooke Lugo and dancehall superstar Mr. Vegas.

'''FannyPack''' are an electro/miami booty bass-rap group that consist of singers/rappers Jessibel Suthiwong, Cat Hartwell and Belinda Lovell along with producers/DJs [[Matt Goias]] (AKA Big Black Matt) and [[Fancy (singer)|Fancy]], all from [[New York City]].

After FannyPack, Cat Hartwell joined the band Holy Hail.<ref name= "hearts">{{cite news |url= https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/dec/10/2 |title=Holy Hail hearts NY: big songs from the Big Apple |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=December 10, 2007 |accessdate=June 25, 2019}}</ref> Belinda Lovell joined the group Retro Glam and worked on a solo album.

Goias and Fancy wanted to create a girl group. When they talked to Tom Silverman of [[Tommy Boy Records]], he loved the idea. They then recruited Cat Hartwell, whom Matt and Fancy already knew, to join the group. Jessibel Suthiwong joined later, when Fancy and Matt found her by chance at The [[Fulton Mall|Fulton Street Mall]] in [[Brooklyn]] yelling to her friend. Afterwards, Jessibel recruited Belinda Lovell, a friend from her gym class to the group.

Belinda explains how Jessibel talked her into joining FannyPack: "I was at the water fountain getting a drink of water when Jessibel comes up to me and says, 'Yo, Belinda, are you black or Indian or what?'" She remembers. "I was like, 'I'm both. Why you asking?' And she said, 'Come be in my group!'" When all the key elements had finally come together, FannyPack was born. FannyPack have a very diverse frame; Cat is [[Ireland|Irish]], Jessibel is half-[[Puerto Rican]] and half-[[Thai people|Thai]] and Belinda is half [[African-American]] and [[West Indian]].
