Biography the LMFAO

LMFAO is an American electropop duo consisting of Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy, born September 3, 1975) and SkyBlu  (Skyler Austen Gordy, born August 23, 1986). Redfoo is SkyBlu's Uncle, meaning that Redfoo's father, music mogul BerryGordy, is also SkyBlu's grandfather. RedFoo and SkyBlu both grew up in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood Pacific Palisades, where they formed the group LMFAO in 2006.

The duo has said its original name was Sexe Dude (read as Sexy Dudes) and the two subsequently changed it at the advice of their grandmother. The group's name is an Internet slang abbreviation for "Laughing My Fucking Ass Off",but according to the duo themselves, LMFAO stands for "Loving My Friends and Others". They signed to record company Interscope in November 2008. Their music is self-referred to as "party rock", which commonly follows a theme of partying and drinking.
