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 B**ch," 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
Khloé Take 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 more than ten
countries during 2011, including the
U.S. The follow-up full-length, Sorry
for Party Rocking, was released in June
2011.
