Lenny Kravitz: 'I Wanted To Make The People A Part Of It' | Interview | TMF

In a 1996 interview on TMF, VJ Fabienne de Vries sat down with Lenny Kravitz to delve into his music. Lenny born on May 26, 1964, in New York City, is a multifaceted American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor. The son of TV news producer Sy Kravitz and actress Roxie Roker, Lenny was immersed in the entertainment world from a young age, fostering a deep passion for music. He emerged on the music scene in his teens, blending rock, funk, reggae, hard rock, soul, and R&B into his distinctive style. Kravitz has enjoyed a successful career with numerous hit singles, including "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" and "Again," both reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Top 100, alongside other hits like "Let Love Rule," "Always on the Run," "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "Fly Away," and "American Woman," which dominated the Alternative Airplay chart. Kravitz's musical prowess has earned him multiple accolades, notably winning the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance four consecutive years from 1999 to 2002—a record in both the number of wins and consecutive victories in the category by a male artist. His trophy cabinet also includes American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Radio Music Awards, Brit Awards, and Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, among others. With over 40 million albums sold worldwide, Kravitz's influence on music is undeniable, and he was rightfully ranked No. 93 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock." Beyond his music career, Kravitz has also made his mark in acting, with notable roles in films such as "Precious" and the first two installments of "The Hunger Games" series, showcasing his versatile talent and enduring appeal in the entertainment industry.
