About Far East Movement
Raised in Downtown Los Angeles,
Cherrytree recording group Far East Movement (Kev Nish, Prohgress,
J-Splif, and DJ Virman) embody the pulse of contemporary LA. They paid
their dues at local clubs, expanding their fan base until they became
city-wide stars in the wake of their first LA chart-topping pop hit,
“Girls on the Dance Floor.” They made history on their debut album Free
Wired when 2010’s multi-platinum selling single “Like a G6” became the
first #1 Billboard Hot 100 song ever achieved by an Asian-American
group. And followed with another Billboard Top 10 smash "Rocketeer."
Their sophomore album Dirty Bass features the international smash “Live
My Life,” an anthemic all-night dance party featuring Justin Bieber,
that reached Top 20 on Billboard and #2 on iTunes almost instantly.
Their latest Dirty Bass single "Turn Up The Love" hit Top 10 in 10
countries and achieved over 50 million views on VEVO/YouTube.
