It's Stefan Gordy a. k. a. Redfoo's first performance in India and the one thing that's on his mind, other than " converting the country into a party planet", is Bollywood. " I'm fascinated by Bollywood - the item songs, the vibrant culture and the beautiful women. In fact, I'm a huge fan of Deepika Padukone, Manjeet Ral from Bhangra band RDB, and Salman Khan. I'd like to party rock with them when I'm in India," he says ahead of his May 10 gig at Kingdom of Dreams and the May 11 show in Mumbai.
One half of the American musical duo LMFAO, Redfoo has always been in the company of celebrities. Being the youngest son of Motown Record Company founder Berry Gordy, Jr., Redfoo would often come across pop star Michael Jackson or R& B singer Smokey Robinson at his father's house. " I was at dad's house at Thanksgiving and Christmas and in the summer I'd go there for a month. So when I saw Michael Jackson for the first time, he was already ' the Michael Jackson'. With Smokey Robinson it was like ' Oh, that's the guy who plays backgammon with my Dad.
Oh, he sings too'," he adds.
His own career in music began in 2006 when he formed LMFAO with his nephew Sky Blu a. k. a.
Skyler Gordy. A few years later, in 2011 to be precise, the duo took over the charts with hits such as ' Party Rock Anthem' and ' Sexy and I Know It'. But since then, the uncle- nephew team has gone on hiatus.
" Sky and I have very strong personalities," says Redfoo whose tour comes on the heels of Sky Blu's India concerts in March this year. " We just wanted to slightly go in different directions.
So it was like, okay, let's just take a break and go in these directions, and then we'll come back later and be stronger than ever." Redfoo has of late been busy with recording his upcoming solo album, being a judge on the reality music competition The X Factor in Australia, and performing all over the world. His India tour has been organised by Netsurf Entertainment, Crossbar Entertainment and Bigdream Entertainment.
