Ninety One or 91 is a Kazakh boy group formed by JUZ Entertainment in 2015. The band consists of four members: Alem, Ace, Zaq, and Bala. Once a five-member group, A.Z. left in 2020. Ninety One is the pioneer act of a new musical genre called Q-pop (Qazaq-pop) which could be called a symbiosis of Western and Asian pop music. The group was produced by Yerbolat Bedelkhan, a member of the Kazakh music unit "Orda".

The group was founded in 2014, based on the "K-Top Idols" project, the main goal of which was creating Kazakhstan's first idol group. The term "Q-pop" was first coined in 2015 by the fanbase of Ninety One - "Eaglez". Fans pointed out the differences they saw in a newly founded Asian pop genre compared to other countries pop music. The letter "Q" originates from the way country's name, "Qazaqstan", should be written according to the Latin script of Kazakh. The prefix ‘Q’ has a particular ideological connotation. Putting ‘Q’ as the prefix is a way of representing new Kazakhstan. The new idea of ‘Q’ for resembling Kazakhstan was generally accepted by the masses.
