Libertye

Libertye (formally Liberti Movement) came to life January 1, 2011 in Columbus, Ohio when solo artists “Tokio Pear” and “Boy Radical” found themselves in a jam session working on a song titled “Respect The Music”. Both the session and song ended so well, that they decided to combine their formal dance training and electronic punk music to form a group. The performers knew this would be quite beneficial to their careers and without hesitation began full force collaboration by calling themselves “Liberti Movement” (recently changed to Libertye). Feeling unstoppable and exceptionally unique, the duo decided to travel to Chicago for X Factor auditions in early April 2011. Getting there wouldn’t be easy due to their “starving artist” lifestyle, but with family support and a canvassing hustle, their goal of appearing on X Factor was reached. The animated rebels eased through the audition process and made it out to LA boot camp with 150 competing contestants. Even though their journey ended there, great knowledge was gained and Tokio Pear and Boy Radical knew they were destined to entertain.

After arriving back to Ohio, they immediately began working on a free E.P. Titled “Anime’ Rebelles”. Not only did the project receive thousands of downloads, but showed the Duo it was time to do something drastic! Being the rebels they are, it was decided on February 21, 2012 they would take a leap of faith and move to Los Angeles. One Week later, they were on their way.

Getting there was the easy part for the duo. However, finding production, shows, and building solid connections would be the hard part. Fortunately, Libertye was prepared to be diligent in their work and after 1 year relocating to the west coast, they were asked to do their own 3 month Headlining tour in China.

Ecstatic that their hard work was paying off, they accepted and departed to Shanghai on April 30, 2013. The tour consisted of hitting major cities and heavy EDM venues. Through huge promotion and sold out shows, the crazy duo immediately connected with China.

The Tour was a success and just what they needed to raise the bar for their brand. After returning home, with so much momentum, Libertye capitalized by getting their single “LOSE CONTROL” picked up by CLEAR CHANNEL syndicated and iHEART RADIO. This was just what they needed and perfect timing to be asked to headline an additional tour in China due to Popular Demand.

Arriving back in the states April 2014, the duo decided to shorten their name to just “LIBERTYE” and wasted no time finalizing their EP titled “Like About You”. Which was released May 1,2014. Exclusively on their Website for free download at www.WeAreLibertye.com .

With all the international recognition, one can only wonder what these rebels will do next. They are on Fire! Stay Tuned, Follow the Movement.
