Mini bio

How it started.

Born in New York City, Lenny grew up around music and performance. His mother was actress Roxie Roker. He later trained with the California Boys Choir, an experience he credits with teaching him musical discipline. Before finding his own voice, he performed under the name Romeo Blue.

Finding his sound.

He turned down record deals that would have pushed him away from the music he wanted to make. Let Love Rule arrived in 1989, followed by Mama Said in 1991 and Are You Gonna Go My Way in 1993. “It Ain’t Over ’Til It’s Over” reached No. 2 in the US, while the guitar-driven title track of his third album helped carry his music around the world.

Making the records.

His four consecutive GRAMMY wins came for “Fly Away,” “American Woman,” “Again” and “Dig In.” For his 12th studio album, Blue Electric Light, he wrote and recorded in his Bahamas studio, playing most of the instruments himself with longtime guitarist Craig Ross.

Beyond the stage.

His work also includes acting, the creative studio Kravitz Design and the memoir Let Love Rule, written with David Ritz. In 2025 he showed fans through his Paris home and was announced as the voice and likeness of Bawma in 007 First Light.
