 An influential group in the rising Asian American music scene, The Far*East Movement (FM) was formed by emcees: Kev Nish (Kevin Nishimura), Prohgress (James Roh), and J-Splif (Jae Choung). The three childhood friends found their love for music fresh out of high school and created recognition for the group in the Los Angeles underground scene through energetic live shows and a strong Internet presence. In 2003, FM produced their own large-scale hip hop show in Koreatown called “Movementality”, to benefit a local drug rehabilitation center. Through this event they were discovered by international club/ events promoter, Carl Choi, who shared the vision of strengthening the identity of Asian Americans in the entertainment industy, helping the Far*East Movement achieve global notoriety. The group released their first mixtape, the “AudioBio” in 2005, distributing over 20,000 copies independently. The compilation, which is an introduction into the world of the FM, includes guest appearances from artists such as DJ Honda and Jin the Emcee. The “Audio Bio” opened the door for FM into television media, gaining them features on the Si TV Network, the AZN TV Network, UPN, and the show ‘Crime Scene Investigation’ (C.S.I.). In the summer of 2005 the trio embarked on their first world tour, performing in cities such as Seattle, Houston, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. At the present time, The Far*East Movement continues on its rigorous show schedule while also adding the finishing touches to their debut album, which is slated for release in the first quarter of 2006. They were featured on the Fast and Furious 3: Tokoyo Drift soundtrack. websites : http://www.fareastmovement.com/ http://www.myspace.com/fareastmovement http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/far_east_m...nt/artist.jhtml -------------------- twitter: http://twitter.com/soyuri

Haha man am I glad to see my boys finally get some attention here. Your info is outdated though. Their debut album was relased not too long ago "Folk Music" and I have to say that their style is like no other. Look for their song "Boom Shake" That's a classic track right there. They've also worked with Ken Oak Band on their debut album.

Oh my god, I remember watching them perform at the Harvest Moon Festival. They were giving away their CD's to the crowd and so they were throwing them. Then they threw one and a little girl caught it. All the other little girls and boys trampled the little girl and kicked her and stuff to try to get it. In the end, the little girl cried. The adults were laughing, she was only what? She looked 5 or 6. That was off subject, so back on subject, I think they're good. They sure are talented.
