About Lenny Kravitz

There may have been other retro rock artists before Lenny Kravitz came along, but he was one of the first to not be stereotyped to a certain style as he?s tested such genres as soul, reggae, hard rock, funk, folk, ballads and psychedelic over the years. Born to actress Roxie Roker of the Jeffersons and a television producer father in New York on May 26, 1964, Kravitz was raised in Los Angeles, where he found himself in the midst of musical talent as a youngster due to his parents? friendships with the likes of Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Bobby Short, and among others. Kravitz was a member of the California Boys Choir until the age of 14, when he decided to pursue a rock and roll career while in high school and under the impression of a funk rocker by the name of Prince. Kravitz?s admiration of Prince was so large, that he started his first works by patterning them directly after him, and shortly became known as ?Romeo Blue?, complete with blue contact lenses. Unfortunately, as Romeo Blue, Kravitz failed to land a recording deal.

Kravitz decided to relocate back to New York City in the late ?80s, where one of his roommates turned out to be actress, Lisa Bonet of Cosby Show fame. They fell in love and eventually became married. During this time, Kravitz wisely discarded is Prince approach and looked back to suck classic rockers as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, The Beatles, and Curtis Mayfield for inspiration. During this time, Kravitz found a lifelong friend in engineer Henry Hirsch who as it turns out, stuck by Kravitz throughout his career. His style was quite refreshing with this new ?back-to-basics? approach in the gaudy era of the late ?80s and he soon landed a recording contract with Virgin Records and issued his debut release, Let Love Rule in 1989. Kravitz?s debute proved to be a surprise hit due to the success of the title track, which quickly became a hit single both on the radio and MTV. A few pessimistic critics were quick to report that Kravitz?s retro look and sound were simply a ploy to get the public?s attention. However, in the 1990s, it had become integrated into the mainstream, both musically and fashion-wise, proving that Kravitz was a successful trendsetter. Around this same time, Lenny wrote a major hit single, not for himself, but for Madonna, who went number one with the track ?Justify My Love?.

What should have been a wonderful time in his life for Kravitz quickly turned sour as he and wife Lisa divorced in the early ?90s. Kravitz heartbreak was reflected heavily in his second album ?Mama Said? which turned out to be even stronger than his debut album. ?Mama Said? was highlighted by the Led Zeppelin-like funk rocker ?Always on the Run?, a collaboration with Guns N? Roses guitarist, Slash. The Curtis Mayfield-esque soul ballad ?It Ain?t Over ?Til It?s Over? confirmed that Kravitz's success was no fluke.

The best was still yet to come for Kravitz in his third release overall, 1993's ?Are You Gonna Go My Way?, is often considered to be the best album front to back of his entire caree. Every single song was a winner, including the up-tempo anthemic title track, which turned out to be one of MTV's most played videos for that year. The album was an enormous hit and Kravitz became an arena headliner, as well as being featured on numerous magazine covers.

Kravitz's fourth release, ?Circus?, came off sounding unfocused and was a major letdown compared to his stellar previous few releases, despite an almost two-year gap between albums. Maybe sensing that he needed to mix things up musically, Kravitz dabbled with electronics and trip-hop loops for his next album, 1998's ?5?. Although it wasn?t a huge hit in the beginning, the album proved to have an long chart life, spawning the biggest hit of Kravitz's career, "Fly Away," almost a year after its original release. With the single's success, Virgin decided to cash in on the album's sudden rediscovery by reissuing it around the same time with a couple of extra added bonus tracks. One became another successful hit single, a remake of the Guess Who's "American Woman", which was played in the hit 1999 comedy movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Kravitz's first best-of set, the 15-track Greatest Hits, was issued in 2000, while his sixth studio release overall, ?Lenny?, was issued the next year. In addition to his own work, Kravitz continues to write songs for other artists. His songs have appeared on albums by such rock stars as Aerosmith and Mick Jagger, while he produced and wrote the majority of Vanessa Paradis' obscure self-titled 1992 release.
