Lenny Kravitz is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, whose "retro" style incorporates elements of rock, soul, R&B, reggae, funk, hard rock, psychedelic, folk and ballads.
In addition to singing lead and backing vocals, Kravitz often plays all the guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and percussion himself when recording. He is well known for his elaborate stage performances and music videos.
One of the most recognizable rock stars on the planet, Kravitz has already succeeded on countless levels -- including 15 million albums sold since tracking sales data began back in 1991. This 4 time Grammy Award winner is at the top of his game.
Here is one of my favorite hits from Lenny Kravitz:
