Before They Were Stars
HOT GALLERY: LMFAO: Looking at the Dance-Party Gurus’ Rise to Music Dominance!
Where do dance-party musicians come from? The tough streets of London, New York, or Los Angeles? Sometimes. In this case, they come from rock 'n' roll royalty: Berry Gordy. He’s the father of DJ Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and grandfather of Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy). Both party boys grew up in Pacific Palisades, California. You can’t get any farther from the 'hood than that, baby! By Romi Stepovich

Sky Blu and Redfoo of LMFAO Pose Backstage at Z100’s Zootopia, 2009
By 2009 at this Z100 Zootopia appearance, Redfoo and his nephew Sky Blu (yes they are related!) already have their brilliant marketing down as they flash their very expensive ($25/pair) underpants! Want a pair? Buy them here. At this appearance, they headlined with acts including the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, the All American Rejects, and Flo Rida. How did they learn what it’s like to be and act successful? Sky Blu credits their early exposure to all the Motown rock ‘n’ roll greats their grandfather knew. When you have legends like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Rick James setting performance examples, it’s hard to go wrong. Professionally.
