In fact, the very spirit of Black And White America came from the locations in which the music was made—from a tiny, 400-person community in the Bahamas to the streets of Paris. And out of his experiences as a true citizen of the planet, his first new songs in three years became the most personal and diverse collection of his career. "No doubt, my environment definitely lends a lot to the creative process," he says. The overwhelming emotion on Black And White America is the feel of optimism, faith and hope. Kravitz acknowledges that these tumultuous times make it difficult to maintain these beliefs. “This world is challenging place,” he says. “The interesting dynamic is when you are in the middle of chaos and you are able to find inner peace. I choose to remain optimistic, even in the face of negativity and destruction." ARTIST & INFO Hometown: New York, NY Band Members: Lenny Kravitz (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Craig Ross (Guitar), Anthony Breit (Bass), Franklin Vanderbilt (Drums), George Laks (Keyboards), Harold Todd (Saxophone). Louis Ludovic (Trumpet), Tawatha Agee (Vocals), Cindy Mizelle (Vocals), Jenny Douglas (Vocals) Regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20-year musical career, one which revels in the rich influences of '60s and '70s soul, rock and funk. Kravitz’s multiple talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist have resonated through eight studio albums into a timeless catalog. From 1999 to 2002, he won four consecutive Grammy Awards, setting a record for the most wins in the “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” category for his single “Dig In” (previously winning for “Again,” “American Woman” and “Fly Away”). In 2004, he received his sixth Grammy nomination in the category for “If I Could Fall In Love” off his 6th studio album, Lenny. Kravitz’s appeal has also been recognized by his peers; his collaborative efforts are as varied as his own influences, having worked with Madonna, Slash, Aerosmith, Jay-Z, N.E.R.D., Mick Jagger, P. Diddy and Alicia Keys. Having sold over 38 million albums worldwide, Kravitz’s musical success has afforded him many opportunities to fulfill his creative vision beyond the recording industry. He recently launched a creative firm, Kravitz Design, which undertakes various high-concept projects with commercial, residential and product design.
