Kitty Girls was a girl group from the Philippines established in 2007 in Manila. Initially formed as a five-member ensemble consisting of Jocelyn Oxlade, Ayanna Oliva, Veronica Scott, Nicole Deen, and Tanya Yuquimpo, the group re-emerged in 2010 as a trio, with Khai Lim joining Oxlade and Oliva.
Origins and debut record
In 2007, under the management of Cecille Carpio from Elan Models International and Jose Felix Dingcong of JLD Management, Kitty Girls secured a contract with Star Records. The original quintet served as the opening act for Akon during the Akon—Live in Manila concert and graced the cover of FHM Philippines’ December 2007 edition.
Their first album, self-titled Kitty Girls, was released in January 2008 and included the lead single "K.I.T.T.Y.," which they performed live on ABS-CBN's ASAP. On February 15, 2008, they staged their inaugural major concert titled One purr...fect Kitty Night. That same year, they became official endorsers for Sharp television sets in the Philippines.
Changes in lineup, rebranding, and new release
Gradually, the ensemble was streamlined to three members—Oxlade, Oliva, and Scott—for television appearances.
In June 2010, Kitty Girls relaunched at The Fort in Taguig, unveiling Khai Lim as the new addition alongside Oxlade and Oliva. They introduced their fresh single "We On Fire" with a live performance; this track had been initially aired on DWFM U92 a week prior. During an interview on 24 Oras, Oxlade mentioned that other original members departed to pursue studies or return to their home countries.
In 2011, the trio embarked on a tour in Malaysia for the Pernod Ricard event Ambassadeurs De La Marques Presents Stellar.
