Berry Gordy – Austen Gordy

Berry Gordy is a well-known American record executive and producer. He’s best known for founding the famous Motown record label and all of its subsidiaries, which was the highest-earning African-American business in the United States for decades. Berry was also a songwriter, and he was able to compose a good number of hits, including “That’s Why,” “Do You Love Me,” “Reet Petite,” and many more.

You’d think that Berry’s family would pick up his passion for music and start a music career themselves. Luckily, his grandson Austen Gordy followed in his footsteps in the music industry. Austen is a well-known rapper, and he currently goes by the stage name “Sky Blu.” He’s already produced, released, and created several hits and studio albums throughout his career, and you could say that the degree of similarity between grandfather and grandson is pretty uncanny.
