Far East Movement is an American hip hop and electronic music group based in Los Angeles, composed of Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, Jon Street, Ray Ro, DJ Virman, and Jerm Beats. They signed with Martin Kierszenbaum's Cherrytree Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, to release their 2010 single "Like a G6", which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making them the first Asian American group to reach number one on the chart. Their follow-up single, "Rocketeer", peaked at number seven and led their third album and major label debut, Free Wired. It performed moderately on the Billboard 200, while their fourth album, Dirty Bass saw a steep commercial decline, although its lead single, "Live My Life" reached number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The group's fifth album, Identity focused on bridging Eastern artists with the group's Western dance music roots. Released independently, the album received positive reviews and spawned the single "Freal Luv". Far East Movement has also branched out with a number of collaborations on labels Ministry of Sound, Dim Mak Records, and Ultra Records.
In 2016, Far East Movement's company, Transparent Arts, moved into artist management.
