Aziatix

The members of Aziatix were brought together by record producer and former R&B singer Jae Chong.[3][4] At the time of the group's formation, Flowsik was an established underground rapper in New York City, Eddie Shin was a student at NYU, and Nicky Lee was a successful Mandopop singer.[5]

Aziatix released their first single, "Go," in March 2011 and their self-titled EP, Aziatix, in May 2011.[5] In July, they released their first full-length album, Nocturnal, which charted in Taiwan and South Korea at numbers 14 and 35, respectively.[6][7] At the end of the year, Aziatix won Best New Asian Artist at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards.[1]

In March 2012, the group performed at the U.S. music festival South by Southwest.[8] In May, the group released their second EP, Awakening, which again charted in Taiwan and South Korea, at numbers 11 and 32, respectively.[9][10]

In 2013, Aziatix signed an 11.3 million USD record deal with Cash Money Records. It was the largest record deal to date between a U.S. record label and a music act from Asia.[1] However, in December 2014, Aziatix announced on their Facebook page that they had decided to leave the record label.[11]

Aziatix released their last album, Top Of The World, in August 2015.[12]
