ʻO Leonard Albert Kravitz he kamaʻāina ʻo New York. Ma kēia kūlanakauhale kupaianaha i hānau ʻia ai ʻo Lenny Kravitz i ka makahiki 1955. I loko o ka ʻohana o kahi mea hana keaka a me ka mea hana TV. ʻO ka makuahine o Leonard, ʻo Roxy Roker, ua hāʻawi i kona ola holoʻokoʻa i ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻO ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa o kāna ʻoihana, hiki ke kapa ʻia ʻo ka hana ʻana o kekahi o nā hana nui i ka moʻolelo kiʻiʻoniʻoni comedy kaulana ʻo The Jeffersons.
ʻO ka makuakāne o ka mea hoʻokani mele e hiki mai ana, ʻo Simur Kravitz, he Iudaio me nā aʻa Ukrainian, i hana ma ka NBC news channel. Ua loaʻa i ke keiki kona inoa no ka hanohano o ke kaikunāne o kona makuakāne. He pailota koa i make ma mua koke o ka hānau ʻana o Lenny i ke Kaua Korea. ʻO ke kaikamahine a Lenny me Lisa Bonet, ʻo Zoe Kravitz kahi mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana. Ua kaulana ʻo ia no kāna hana hoʻohālike a me nā hana mele.
ʻO nā makahiki mua o Lenny Kravitz
Hānau ʻia i loko o kahi ʻohana maʻamau, ua hoʻohana ʻo Lenny i kona wā kamaliʻi a ʻōpio ma Manhattan, ka ʻāina moʻomeheu o New York City. I ka wā ʻōpiopio loa ʻo Lenny, ua hoʻohana nui ʻo ia i ka poʻe hoʻokani pila ma ke alanui. Ua ʻike kona mau mākua i nā mea mele kaulana o nā makahiki 50 a me 60. Ua hoʻokani lākou i ka piano ma mua o hoʻokahi manawa ma ko lākou hale, no ka laʻana, ʻo Duke Ellington. Noho ʻo Lenny liʻiliʻi ma kona ʻūhā.
I ka makahiki 19 o ka mea mele kaulana e hiki mai ana, neʻe ka ʻohana i Los Angeles. Ua makemake nui ka mea pena i ka wā e hiki mai ana i ke mele mai ka wā kamaliʻi. ʻAʻole i noʻonoʻo ʻo Lenny i nā koho ʻē aʻe no kāna hoʻonaʻauao. I kona hōʻea ʻana i Kaleponi, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hīmeni a loaʻa kahi hoʻonaʻauao mele ma ka California Boys Choir.
Ua komo ʻo ia i nā hoʻopaʻa leo he nui o ka papa himeni o ia manawa. Akā ʻaʻole lawa ka hīmeni wale ʻana iā Lenny. I kona manawa kūʻokoʻa mai ka papa mele, hāʻawi ʻo ia iā ia iho i nā mea kani like ʻole i ka manawa hoʻokahi. Ke aʻo nei ʻo ia i ka pāʻani pahu, kīkā a me ke kīkā.
ʻO ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻoihana mele a Lenny Kravitz
I kēia manawa, ua noho kaʻawale ʻo Lenny mai kona mau mākua. Hoʻohana ʻo ia i kona manawa a pau e hoʻomaikaʻi i kona akamai i ka hoʻokani ʻana i nā mea kani a me ke kākau ʻana i nā mele. Lawe ka mea mele i ka inoa inoa ʻo Romeo Blue.
Ua ʻike koke ʻia ke talena ʻōpio ma ka lepili IRS Records, me kāna pūlima i kahi ʻaelike. ʻAʻole koke, loaʻa iā Lenny kahi makana maikaʻi aʻe mai ka Virgin kaulana i ka honua a hoʻopau i kāna ʻaelike mua. Ua kūpaʻa ʻo ia i kēia lepili no nā makahiki he 30, mai ka makahiki 1989.
Hōʻole Aliʻi
ʻO ka hoʻoholo mua i hana ʻia ma ia wahi hou, ʻo ia ka waiho ʻana i ka pseudonym no kona inoa maoli. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Lenny Kravitz i kāna album mua, Let Love Rule. ʻO ke kālena hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia a me ke kiʻi ʻālohilohi i hiki ʻole ke kūleʻa i ka holomua o ka album. Ma kēlā me kēia mele, hīmeni ʻo ia ma kāna iho a kākau i nā ʻāpana no kekahi mau mea kani i ka manawa hoʻokahi.
Ua ukali koke ʻia ka holomua e nā huakaʻi ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ʻEulopa. Nui nō hoʻi nā hiʻohiʻona ma nā kīwī TV. ʻO kaʻoihana o ka mea hoʻokani pila i piʻi nui ma hope o ka hana pūʻana me ka mea kaulana loa i kēlā manawaʻo Madonna. Ua kākau ʻo ia i ke mele no ke mele "Justify My Love". ʻO ka hana no ka manawa lōʻihi i noho i nā wahi mua ma nā pakuhi a puni ka honua.
I ka wā o ka hakakā kaua ma waena o ʻAmelika a me Iraq, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Kravitz i kahi uhi uhi o ka "Give Peace a Chance" kaulana a John Lennon, no kēia hanana ua hui pū ʻia ʻo ia e ke keiki a Lennon ʻo Sean, Yoko Ono a me kahi helu nui o nā mea mele kaulana ʻē aʻe.
ʻO Lenny Kravitz album ʻelua
ʻAʻole i kali lōʻihi ka album lua o ka mea hoʻokani pila. ʻO ka mele mua loa mai Mama Said ʻo "It Is Not Over Til It's Over". Ua hele ka album i ka platinum. Ma ka nalu o ka holomua o Lenny, e hoʻohana ana i kona ʻike nui i ke kākau ʻana i nā mele a me nā mele. Hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hoʻomaka i ka hana ʻana i nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe.
Ua kākau ʻo ia i ke mele no ka album mua o ka mea mele ʻo Vanessa Paradis, e hoʻomaka ana i kēlā manawa. I ka manawa like, ua kākau ʻo ia i ʻelua mele me Mick Jagger: "E hoʻohana iaʻu" a me "Line Up". Ma ke kaʻina hana, lilo ʻo Lenny Kravitz lāua ʻo Mick Jagger i mau hoaaloha pili loa a e hana i nā mele ma mua o hoʻokahi manawa a hoʻokuʻu i nā mele kaulana ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi.
ʻAʻole poina ka mea pena e pili ana i ka hana solo, i ka makahiki 90 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kekahi mau album, ua hele kēlā me kēia platinum: "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (1993), "Circus" (1995), "5" (1998). Ua uhi ʻia kēia lanakila lanakila e hoʻokahi hanana wale nō - i ka makahiki 1995, make ka makuahine o Lenny.
Ma hope o ke ola ʻana i ka nalowale, hoʻi ʻo Lenny i ka hana a hele i kahi huakaʻi 40-hōʻikeʻike o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. 1998 - ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke mele "Fly Away" i nā palapala o ʻAmelika no ka manawa lōʻihi, a loaʻa i ka mea pena kiʻi kiʻi Grammy i ka koho "Best Male Rock Performance".
ʻO ka album ʻeono ma lalo o ka inoa laconic "Lenny" lawe mai i ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻē aʻe Grammy statuette, a ʻo ke mele "Dig In" mai ia mea i komo i loko o ka parade hit "40 mele mele maikaʻi loa o nā manawa āpau", i hoʻohui ʻia e ka mana mana "Rolling Stone" . ʻO nā ʻōlelo kūikawā o ka ʻaelike a Lenny me kāna hui hoʻokuʻu i ʻae iā ia e wehe i kāna inoa ponoʻī, ʻo Roxie Roker.
Lenny Kravitz a me Virgin Records
Ke hoʻokuʻu nei i kāna mau papahana hoʻokahi ma Virgin Records, hoʻopuka ʻo Lenny i kāna mau hana hana ma kāna lepili liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka papahana wale nō o ka mea hoʻokani pila, ʻaʻole i paʻi ʻia ma Virgin, ʻo ia ka album Baptism, kahi hui pū me New York hip-hop artist Jay-Z.
ʻO ka album ʻewalu a Lenny, ʻo It Is Time For Love Revolution, i manaʻo ʻia e nā mea hoʻohewa he nui ka hana maikaʻi a ka mea pena i kāna ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album i ukali ʻia e kahi huakaʻi honua, a ua hiki iā Lenny iā ia ke hoʻokō i kāna moeʻuhane kahiko - e kipa aku i ka ʻāina hānau o kona mau kūpuna makua, ma Kyiv. No ka'ahamele Kyiv, ua hele mai 'o Lenny me kahi papahana kūikawā i hala ma mua o'elua hola.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album hope loa a Lenny Kravitz, ʻEleʻele a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i ka makahiki 2011 a loaʻa iā ia nā māka kiʻekiʻe mai ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me nā mea hoʻolohe. I ka manawa like, ho'āʻo ka mea pena iā ia iho i kahi kahua hou: hoʻokani ʻo ia i ke kuleana kākoʻo ma ke kiʻi "Treasure" na Lee Daniels. ʻO ka hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana loa a Lenny ke kuleana o ka stylist o ke ʻano nui o ka franchise kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana loa ʻo The Hunger Games.
