Far East Movement (also known as FM) has bridged the gap between
underground party records and mainstream hip-hop and pop. They blend
elements of hip-hop, pop, electro and dance to create an original
sound and lifestyle they call `Free Wired'.
The group translates this `Free Wired' way of life by constantly
staying interactive and living the lifestyle it promotes.
Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman, always donning stylish
shades, skinny ties, and shiny blazers and fresh kicks have taken the
current Los Angeles club scene global, already having to their credit
two world tours, numerous song placements on television and film, and
a # 1 song on Los Angeles radio all before they even dropped their
debut album, appropriately titled, Free Wired, scheduled for a Fall
2010 release on Cherrytree Records/Interscope.
Cherrytree Records head, Martin Kierzenbaum, was inspired with the
direction FM was taking with their careers. "Martin told us, `You guys
have a lifestyle and party that we want to be invited to, we not only
like your songs, but love your sound and movement,'" Kev Nish said of
Kierzenbaum, who oversees the careers of Cherrytree Records artists
Lady Gaga, Keane, La Roux and Tokio Hotel.
Martin was moved by FM so much that he passed their music on to mega-
star Lady Gaga's camp that led to an invitation out on her overseas
Monster Ball tour dates in April 2010. FM call it, "a `Free Wired'
moment and incredible learning experience...she puts 200 percent into
2-hour shows, back to back nights, every night, it's inspirational."
While on the road they say they got some key advice from one of
today's most exciting and theatrical live performers. They went back
overseas the following month when they were invited out by N*E*R*D*.
It is FM's stage energy and the `Free Wired' lifestyle that started to
change the way people reacted to their music. Not just the energy and
lifestyle, but fashion and technology play a huge part. "We've played
at every club in southern Cali and thrown parties, `geekin out' at
friends lofts and rooftops in downtown LA until the sun came up." "Our
routine and fashion allow us to party all night, then head straight to
an important business meeting in the morning, we always stay business
fresh, plus we keep shades on to hide the lack of sleep," jokes
Prohgress.
"Girls On The Dance Floor" became an undeniable, high-energy track
that prompted women from all over to record videos of themselves
dancing to the song and upload the clips online. The song exploded the
latter part of 2009 in nightclubs and topped the playlists in L.A. The
s and heavy rotation earned Far East Movement a spot on a
prestigious L.A. concert headlined by Jay-Z.
The follow up record "Like A G6" received an even more rabid reaction
from listeners. "That one had over a million hits on YouTube before it
even had one play on the radio," Kev Nish said about the song they put
together in two hours with Los Angeles producers The Cataracs.
Free Wired will slow the tempo up on the album with the upcoming
single `Rocketeer'. This radio-ready massive pop ballad features
OneRepublic front man Ryan Tedder. "Our next single is going to
surprise a lot of Far East Movement fans in a great way, " states J-
Splif. "It's definitely outside the box for us, but we love to push
our musical boundaries." There's also the fast tempo, pulsating, dance
love song called "Don't Look Now" featuring Keri Hilson, also produced
by the Stereotypes.
"The Far East Movement reps the diverse music fan that hits up 3 clubs
playing all different music in 1 night, with a flossy and stylish
fashion interest, low ridin' around LA in a fresh set of rims and a
fresher pair of kicks, then hits the after-after party in the early
a.m. and finally stumbles home to
