Skyler Austen Gordy, (born August 23, 1986)[1] better known by his stage name Sky Blu, is an American singer, rapper, producer, DJ and dancer best known as one half of the musical duo LMFAO, along with his paternal uncle Redfoo. They have two albums together,[2] 2009's Party Rock and 2011's Sorry for Party Rocking. Sky Blu is the grandson of Motown founder Berry Gordy. His parents are Berry Gordy IV and Valerie Robeson.

Career
In 2007, Sky Blu teamed up with his uncle Redfoo to form LMFAO. They are known for their hit songs "Party Rock Anthem", "Champagne Showers", "Sexy and I Know It", "Shots" and "Sorry for Party Rocking", which were released in 2009, 2011 and 2012. "Party Rock Anthem" became the most successful song of their entire career, peaking at number-one in over ten countries, including France, the UK, the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, and Australia. LMFAO is currently in a hiatus since September 2012. In 2010, Sky Blu created Big Bad University ("the first university for dreamers") an exclusive collective of artists, which is mainly composed of the rapper Shwayze, the ex Paradiso Girls member Chelsea Korka and the producer, singer and songwriter Mark Rosas. In 2013, Sky Blu released his two first singles : "Pop Bottles" in January with Mark Rosas and "Salud" in April with his manager Reek Rude, Sensato and the actor Wilmer Valderrama. A few months later, on July 4, he released his 9 track first album "Rebel Music" as a free download. Most recently, Sky Blu revealed, on The Arsenio Hall Show, a brand new Hip Hop single "Go On Girl" and announced during an interview that he was working on his new album "The Party President" which will be available later this year.[3]
