If you were ringing the new year at home and tuned into Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2011, you got a chance to see Far East Movement & Ne-Yo perform on national TV. They performed as part of the Los Angeles lineup hosted by Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas. Far East Movement teamed up with Fighting Gravity from last season’s America’s Got Talent. They had some crazy black light setup that tied into the FM space helmet theme. (Check the 2:46 mark on the clip below.) Their latest single Rocketeer is alrea’dy climbing up the music charts kicking off 2011. Also on the show was part Chinese singer Ne-Yo, who performed Champagne Life by blending song and dance.

ABOUT FAR EAST MOVEMENT

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, electro and dance to create an original sound and lifestyle they dub ‘Free Wired.’ Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif and DJ Virman have taken the current Los Angeles club scene global, having to their credit numerous world tours, multiple song placements on television and film, plus a No. 1 hit on Los Angeles radio before they dropped their debut album, Free Wired, October 12th on Cherrytree/Interscope Records. The album’s first single, “Like A G6,” is a double platinum-plus selling single that exploded on radio and sales charts, hitting No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Digital Song charts, as well as multiple appearances at the No. 1 spot on iTunes top songs.

Ne-Yo talks about his album Libra Scale and the influence of Michael Jackson on it. He also talks about what it is like writing for other artists.
