Redfoo from LMFAO and his partner Jazzy are embracing their new venture, Party Rock Farmhouse, a show that showcases their passion for animals, vegan cooking, and plant-based living.
Unexpectedly, farm life has captured the attention of Redfoo, born Stefan Kendal Gordy, a renowned musician known for his role in the electronic dance music duo LMFAO, famous for the chart-topping “Party Rock Anthem” in 2011. After releasing two albums, touring extensively, and appearing on shows like The X-Factor in Australia, Redfoo has settled in Calabasas with his partner, Jasmine “Jazzy” Alkouri, their daughter Ily, and several rescue animals, including cows, pigs, and turkeys.
With the launch of Party Rock Farmhouse, Redfoo reveals his transformation from party animal to a dedicated plant parent, emphasizing how adopting a vegan diet can enhance one’s life.
Sowing the seeds of change
Redfoo’s journey to veganism began after a concern from friends regarding his Keto diet. A routine medical check-up revealed alarming health markers—his cholesterol levels were exceedingly high at over 600, indicated by the pinkish hue of his blood sample. “I appeared healthy and was active, but the results were a wake-up call,” he recalls, realizing the importance of prioritizing his health amid a hectic lifestyle filled with touring.
Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle turned out to be a constructive choice. Studies indicate that plant-based diets can lead to significant health advantages, such as a 23% reduced chance of developing type 2 diabetes and a 35% lower risk of prostate cancer.
Jazzy has played a pivotal role in supporting Redfoo’s health journey and embracing wellness. “She managed my tour for a long time, and we often relied on fruit smoothies and healthy options,” he explains. “We learned to scrutinize ingredients and stopped eating anything we couldn’t pronounce.”
As an artist, Redfoo appreciates how music can influence emotions, and when he recognized that food could evoke similar feelings, it transformed his and his family’s outlook. “To feel good and be healthy is the pinnacle of well-being,” he emphasizes.
A new home for a new lifestyle
Redfoo and Jazzy elevated their plant-based lifestyle by relocating outside of Los Angeles, seeking a larger space after their Saint Bernard prevented them from securing a condo in West Hollywood. Jazzy recalls, “We needed somewhere spacious, and he’s our gateway dog.”
Now, alongside numerous rescue dogs, the couple has embraced two pigs, a number of turkeys, and cows as part of their family. This daily interaction with animals further solidified their commitment to vegan living. “We aim for a natural lifestyle,” he explains. “The vegan approach is intentional. How you nourish your body influences your feelings and behaviors. It’s about embracing a love for all—animals, the planet, and oneself.”
Cooking with creativity
The transition to a plant-based diet can be daunting for some, but Jazzy’s enthusiasm for cooking keeps mealtime exciting. From vegan lasagna to sprouted sushi, the family enjoys experimenting with diverse vegan dishes. “Friends often say, ‘I’d go vegan if you cooked for me,’” she laughs.
The inspiration for Party Rock Farmhouse stems from a desire to illustrate the remarkable flexibility of a vegan diet. “I wanted to demonstrate that veganism need not be limited to the usual stir fry or veggie curry,” she shares. “You can get creative, like transforming fruit into a salmon alternative (hint: it’s watermelon). Cooking becomes not just about taste but also nourishment.”
For Redfoo and Jazzy, their vegan journey extends beyond dietary choices, encompassing an inquiry into consumption behaviors in society. Redfoo poses thought-provoking questions like, “Why is so much sugar added to our lemonade? Why not use dates instead?” This mindset fosters awareness of the health implications of food choices.
By encouraging such discussions, they provide their daughter and community with a space to explore health and wellness actively.
The strength of a plant-based approach
Alongside Party Rock Farmhouse, Redfoo aims to influence others through his free app, Doctor Only Plants, which provides valuable tips, recipes, and promotes The Sprouting Company’s at-home sprouting kit.
Though purchasing a farm might be beyond most people’s reach, the couple emphasizes that many accessible plant-based changes can greatly improve personal health. “Everyone can sprout at home. You don’t even need sunlight. The nutritional value of sprouts is incredible. Growing mint or garlic is easy, even on a small balcony. We want to demonstrate how simple this can be and how much money it can save.”
Redfoo and Jazzy aspire for others to feel empowered through learning a new recipe, growing their herbs, or improving their health, hoping this sense of accountability translates into all facets of life—from relationships to careers. Cultivating a strong mind-body connection can lead to profound impacts on overall well-being, both physically and mentally.
The heart of the matter
Food fosters community, and Redfoo and Jazzy demonstrate that this notion remains even in a vegetarian-centric setting. They enjoy hosting and cooking for family and friends, often delighting guests with the wide range of vegan alternatives now available (yes, a vegan cheese board may well be on the menu).
“We prioritize health for ourselves and our daughter, as well as for our loved ones,” he shares. “We find joy in sharing what we learn and discover with others and strive to create and share something new each day.”
Party Rock Farmhouse exemplifies that a plant-based lifestyle can be vibrant, joyful, and empowering. Through their commitment to veganism, Redfoo and Jazzy are confident they are enriching the planet, improving their health, and securing a promising future for their daughter.
Through their show, community outreach, and creative endeavors, “we aim to motivate others and foster honest discussions,” states Redfoo. “We seek to live our healthiest, most loving lives, and share that love in every aspect of our existence.”
