History

Lenny Kravitz (born Leonard Albert Kravitz, May 26, 1964, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer known for fusing classic rock, funk, soul, and psychedelia. Raised between Manhattan and Bedford-Stuyvesant, he was the son of a TV news producer and actress Roxie Roker. He signed to Virgin Records in 1989 and released his debut album, Let Love Rule, largely a solo effort on which he wrote, produced, and played nearly every instrument himself. His sound, indebted to Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and Prince, found wider commercial success with 1991's Mama Said and the 1993 breakthrough Are You Gonna Go My Way. Between 1999 and 2002 he won four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, a record still unmatched in that category, for songs including "Fly Away" and a cover of "American Woman." He has also written songs for artists such as Madonna and Aerosmith, and later appeared in films including Precious and The Hunger Games series.
