Lenny Kravitz is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer whose retro style amalgamates rock, blues, soul, R&B, funk, jazz, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic, pop, folk, and ballads. Born on May 26, 1964, in New York City, Kravitz grew up in a musically conducive environment, the son of actress Roxie Roker and NBC television news producer Sy Kravitz. Demonstrating a passion for music at a young age, Kravitz taught himself how to play multiple instruments and started writing his own songs.

He has since carved out a distinctive niche in the music industry with a sound that transcends genre boundaries, often playing all the instruments on his recordings himself. A multiple Grammy Award winner, Kravitz has continued to influence the music scene with his eclectic style and has amassed a solid discography. His work in the 2010s and 2020s, featuring releases such as "Raise Vibration" and a slew of remixes of his hit "Low," as well as socially conscious tracks like "Here to Love (#fightracism)," showcases an artist committed to evolving his sound while also engaging with the pressing issues of the times. Lenny Kravitz remains an iconic figure in music, known not only for his creative output but also for his unique sense of fashion and enduring presence in pop culture.
