Early Life
Sky Blu was born Skyler Austen Gordy on August 23, 1986, in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in a family deeply connected to the music industry. His grandfather, Berry Gordy Jr., is the legendary founder of Motown Records, which shaped the careers of icons like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye. Surrounded by music from an early age, Sky Blu gravitated toward performance and production. The close-knit family dynamic would later extend into his career, as he teamed up with his uncle Stefan Gordy, better known as Redfoo, to form LMFAO.
Rise with LMFAO
LMFAO was formed in 2006 in Los Angeles, inspired by the dance and electro scene of the time. Sky Blu and Redfoo combined hip hop flows with electronic beats, creating a distinctive sound they called “party rock.” Their debut album, “Party Rock,” was released in 2009 and introduced fans to their outrageous style with tracks like “I’m in Miami Bitch” and “Shots” featuring Lil Jon.
The group’s second album, “Sorry for Party Rocking,” released in 2011, catapulted them to international fame. “Party Rock Anthem,” featuring GoonRock and Lauren Bennett, became a global smash, topping charts in more than a dozen countries and selling millions of copies. The song’s dance-heavy music video and signature “shuffle” dance craze made LMFAO a household name. Other hits from the album included “Champagne Showers,” “Sorry for Party Rocking,” and “Sexy and I Know It,” further cementing their reputation as party music icons.
LMFAO toured extensively during this period, performing at festivals, award shows, and even the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show alongside Madonna. Their flashy costumes, comedic videos, and infectious energy made them one of the most recognizable acts of the era.
