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 hip-hop scene through energetic live shows and a strong Internet presence.
Forming Catch Music Group with manager Carl Choi in 2004, the group has since been developed into a rising force destined for World recognition. The group has achievements on an independent level that some major label groups could only dream to attain. Far East Movement has embarked on 2 World Tours (including the USA, South America, Canada, & Asia). Their music has been featured on “CSI,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and Justin Lin’s “Finishing the Game.”
Currently, Far East Movement is working on their sophomore album “Animal” slated for release in 2008. The album includes guest appearances by platinum selling artists Lil Rob and Baby Bash. Recently, they also collobrated with the Korean popstar Se7en on his upcoming English album.
