Lenny Kravitz

Leonard Albert 'Lenny' Kravitz (born May 26, 1964, New York) is an American musician, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and arranger; his 'reggae' style brings together elements of such musical directions as soul, funk, reggae, psychedelia, folk, and ballads. He played one of the roles in the movie 'The Hunger Games'—the stylist Cinna. In addition to the role of vocalist, he often plays all guitar, bass, keyboard, drum, and percussion parts himself during studio recording. He received a Grammy award in the 'Best Male Rock Vocal Performance' category four years in a row—from 1998 to 2002. Lenny's daughter Zoë Kravitz followed in her father's footsteps and, in addition to acting in films, also plays the guitar and sings. As artists who significantly influenced him, he names Prince, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, and Paul McCartney.
