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 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?'"

Fannypack was comprised of singers Jessibel Suthiwong, Belinda Lovell, and Cat Hartwell, with beat-making support from Matt Goias and Fancy.
The two New York DJs first enlisted Brown University graduate Hartwell to sing over their new project, which brazenly crossed L'Trimm/J.J. Fad-style chintz rap with elements of modern-day electroclash and hip-hop.
Brooklyn high-school students Suthiwong and Lovell were then added, mainly for their multicultural good looks and command of street-level slang.
