Early Life

Leonard Albert Kravitz was born on May 26, 1964, in New York City. His mother, Roxie Roker, was an actress best known for her role in “The Jeffersons,” and his father, Sy, worked as an NBC news producer. Lenny is also a second cousin of Al Roker, the popular TV weatherman. Kravitz’s mother and father were both Christians, but he wasn’t religious until he was 13, when he started going to church; he later decided to become a non-denominational Christian. Lenny began using pots and pans as drums when he was three years old, and by the age of five, he had decided that he wanted to be a musician.

Lenny attended P.S. Kravitz attended 6th grade in Manhattan before moving to Los Angeles after Roxie was cast in “The Jeffersons.” He spent three years in the California Boys Choir and performed with the Metropolitan Opera. Later, he began to listen to rock bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd. Lenny went to Beverly Hills High School with future stars Slash and Nicolas Cage, where he learned to play the bass and piano. Kravitz went on the road after graduating in 1982, performing as “Romeo Blue.”

Music Career

In the mid-1980s, Lenny began recording his first full-length album with financial assistance from his father. He worked with keyboardist/bassist/recording engineer Henry Hirsch and saxophonist Karl Denson, and his friend Stephen Elvis Smith started managing him, resulting in five record labels bidding for Kravitz. In January 1989, Lenny signed with Virgin Records, and the album “Let Love Rule” was released in September of that year. He co-wrote and produced Madonna’s hit “Justify My Love” in 1990. Kravitz’s album “Mama Said,” released in 1991, went Platinum in five countries.

In 1993, he appeared on tracks by Mick Jagger and David Bowie, and his third album, “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” debuted at number one in Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Lenny released “Circus” in 1995, “5” in 1998, and “Fly Away” in 1999, earning him his first Grammy. He won a Grammy the following year for his cover of The Guess Who’s “American Woman,” which he recorded for the soundtrack to “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.”

Kravitz released six more albums after the Grammy-winning “5”: “Lenny” (2001), “Baptism” (2004), “It Is Time for a Love Revolution” (2008), “Black and White America” (2011), “Strut” (2014), and “Raise Vibration”.
