electro hop duo that formed in 2006 in Los Angeles, California, consisting of rappers, dancers and DJs Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy, born September 3, 1975)
[1][2] and SkyBlu (Skyler Husten Gordy, born August 23, 1986).
[3] They are the son and grandson, respectively, of
Motown record label founder
Berry Gordy, making them uncle and nephew.
[4][5] Their music incorporates a theme of partying and drinking, and the group commonly refers to their music style as "party rock". The name
LMFAO is an
initialism for "Laughing My F**king Ass Off" (although it is often sanitised to "Loving My Friends And Others") and is pronounced letter by letter.

Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) and SkyBlu (Skyler Gordy) both grew up in the affluent [[Los Angeles LMFAO lives in the neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, where they formed the group LMFAO in 2006.[7] Redfoo and SkyBlu are uncle and nephew respectively. Redfoo is son of Berry Gordy, the founder of the Motown label and Nancy Leiviska, a music video director and writer. SkyBlu is Berry Gordy and Thelma Coleman's grandson through their son Berry Gordy IV and his wife Valerie Robeson. In an interview with Shave Magazine the duo stated that their original name was 'Sexy Dudes' and they subsequently changed it at the advice of their grandmother.[8] They signed to record company Interscope in November 2008.[9]
