History Of Lenny Kravitz - A Brief Overview

The history of Lenny Kravitz - singer, songwriter, renowned musician - starts on May 26, 1964 in New York City, New York. The son of television star Roxie Roker and television news producer Sy Kravitz, this talented musician broke onto the rock and roll scene in 1989 after a brief stint of going by the name 'Romeo Blue'. He was constantly told as he struggled to get into the business that his music wasn't 'black' enough or 'white' enough. Kravitz went his own way and didn't conform to the trade gurus, winning his first Grammy in 1998 for his song 'Fly Away'.
