Background of the Duo:

The electronic dance and hip hop duo LMFAO got together in 2006. The two members are Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) and SkyBlu (Skyler Austen Gordy). They are a son and grandson respectively of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, Jr. Their own relationship is that of uncle and nephew. Attendance at Miami's annual dance-oriented Winter Music Conference helped inspire the future music of LMFAO.

The pair performed their music in clubs until signing with Interscope in 2008.
