Far East Movement, abbreviated as FM, is an American hip hop and electronic music group based in Los Angeles. The original members, Kevin Nishimura (Kev Nish), James Roh (Prohgress), and Jae Choung (J-Splif), formed the group in 2003 after promoting their music online and performing at local events in Los Angeles under the name “Emcees Anonymous” in 2001. Their initial venture into music began with the release of their mixtape, ‘_Audio-Bio_’, in 2005. This was followed by their first album, ‘_Folk Music_’, in early 2006. A significant milestone occurred when their single “Round Round” was featured in the film ‘_The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift_’, appearing on both the soundtrack and video game. This led to their decision to pursue music full-time and embark on two world tours, securing distribution deals in Japan and Korea.
In 2007, Far East Movement was featured in the Sundance Film Festival film ‘_Finishing the Game_’, for which they created the song “Satisfaction.” They also released the single “You’ve Got A Friend” with Lil Rob and Baby Bash, which marked their entry onto major national radio. The group expanded in 2009 with the addition of DJ Virman, a DJ from Power 106 radio station in Los Angeles. The same year, they released their second album, ‘_Animal_’, which included the popular single “Girls on the Dance Floor.” This track reached number 27 on the Billboard chart for Latin Rhythm Airplay, marking their debut on the Billboard charts. The album featured collaborations with artists such as The Stereotypes, Lil Rob, Baby Bash, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars.
In February 2010, Far East Movement signed with Cherrytree Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. This partnership led to the release of their album ‘_Free Wired_’ on October 12, 2010. The album produced the single “Like a G6,” featuring The Cataracs and Dev, which achieved number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on October 30, 2010, and also reached double Platinum status by November 20, 2010. Their follow-up single, “Rocketeer,” featuring Ryan Tedder, further solidified their presence in the music industry. In 2016, the group launched Transparent Arts (TA), their own company for artist management, and released their independent album ‘_Identity_’, which debuted at number one on the global iTunes dance charts.
