Biography

An electro-rap duo from Los Angeles, CA, LMFAO made their major-label debut in 2008. Comprised of producers, DJs, and clothing designers Redfoo and SkyBlu (the son and grandson, respectively, of Motown impresario Berry Gordy), LMFAO worked the club circuit for years before making their major-label debut in 2008 with the single "I'm in Miami Bitch," a song inspired by their first experience at the Winter Music Conference. In the wake of the single's release on Interscope and its hitting the charts in several countries, LMFAO toured the American club circuit and prepared their full-length album debut, Party Rock, which was released in July 2009. "La La La" and "Shots" (featuring Lil Jon) also charted, and LMFAO placed songs on Jersey Shore and Kourtney and Khloake Miami. In 2010, the duo featured on a worldwide Top Ten hit, David Guetta's "Gettin' Over You." Their next single as LMFAO was the suitably anthemic "Party Rock Anthem," which topped the charts in multiple countries early in 2011, and reached the Top Ten in the U.S. The follow-up full-length, Sorry for Party Rocking, was released in June 2011. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
