Far East Movement

TRAKTIVIST RADIO - EP 046 w Will Jay

 

We interview Will Jay, an extraordinary singer & songwriter from Los Angeles! As a solo artist, his songs have been streamed over 20 million times, offering a unique perspective on young adulthood while challenging society’s expectations of living in the digital age. Will Jay has also sung back up for artists such as Linkin Park and Josh Groban, while writing for artists like Grace Vanderwaal, NCT-127, Asher Angel, etc.! We learn about his musical journey having started professionally as a young teenager in a boy band and the transition to a solo career. We explore the recent creative risks he’s taken very recently and the unexpected responses he’s received in writing the hyperpersonal & powerful songs “By Now” (a song about the many sacrifices and struggles in pursuing a dream ) and “I Can Only Write My Name” (a song to remind us that it’s never too late to learn and be proud of your culture)!

#MUSICMONDAYS: FAR EAST MOVEMENT - IDENTITY

 

New-Releases-102416

For this #MusicMondays, we are dedicating it to the group the dance & pop world is currently buzzing about: Far East Movement. Last Friday, Koreatown EDM pioneers Far East Movement released their third studio album Identity worldwide, which has since become the #1 album on the iTunes dance charts! With the 11 track project, Far East Movement aligns the stars from East to West as they’ve collaborated with both renown American artists and electrifying Asian heavyweights including Macy Gray, Big K.R.I.T., Chanyeol from EXO, Jay Park, Soulja Boy, Hyolin from Sistar, Yoonmirae, Tinashe, Tiffany from Girls Generation among others.

As a supporter of Asian Americans who make music, I have always had great respect for Far East Movement. They are multi-platinum selling artists,  proclaimed by SPIN as "EDM Pioneers." They have been in pretty much every book & dissertation that studies Asian American music. It is without question that they have helped open up the doors for other Asian Americans who wanted to pursue a career in music. They are absolutely one of the influences in our decision to create TRAKTIVIST.

FM1

A few years back while Tricia and I lived in Houston, we had a chance to see the guys perform for Asian American Heritage Month. There was a Q&A session where we got to ask some pre-Traktivist related questions. We even got to meet them and talked about food haha. Right from the start, the guys seemed humble and invested into their supporters. Fast forward 2016, and we now have the pleasure to call them our friends, building something great under the Transparent Agency umbrella. Thank you FM for taking a chance with TRAKTIVIST! The future never looked so bright and exciting.

Check out the amazing music videos made by our Proper Form / Transparent team!
