Biography
Regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, LENNY KRAVITZ has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20-year musical career, one which revels in the rich influences of '60s and '70s soul, rock and funk.
Kravitz's talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist have resonated through nine studio albums into a timeless catalog. He has won four consecutive Grammy® Awards, setting a record for the most wins in the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance category for his single "Dig In" (previously winning for "Again," "American Woman" and "Fly Away"). Additionally, Kravitz has also been nominated for other six Grammy® Awards. Lenny Kravitz's appeal has also been recognized by his peers; his collaborative efforts are as varied as his own influences, having worked with Madonna, Slash, Aerosmith, Jay-Z, N. E. R. D., Mick Jagger, P. Diddy and Alicia Keys.
Having sold over 38 million albums worldwide, Lenny Kravitz's musical success has afforded him many opportunities to fulfill his creative vision beyond the recording industry. The artist appeared in a supporting role in the critically-acclaimed film "Precious," for which he has received a 2010 NAACP Image Awards nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. Kravitz and the celebrated "Precious" cast also received a 2010 Screen Actors Guild nomination for "Best Ensemble." In addition to his supporting role in "Precious," Kravitz has also appeared in such films as "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" and "Zoolander."
In 2005 he launched a creative firm, Kravitz Design Inc., which undertakes various high-concept projects with commercial, residential and product design. The firm partnered with Swarovski, to contribute two chandeliers to its 'Crystal Palace Collection. ' Kravitz Design also conceived the environment and identity for the Florida Room lounge at the Delano for Morgans Hotel Group and is responsible for the luxury recording studio located in The Setai Resort & Residences in Miami Beach.
In 2009, the 20th anniversary deluxe edition of Lenny Kravitz's debut, "Let Love Rule," was issued. The project was followed by the release of his most recent studio release "Black and White America."
