Growing up in America was never as simple as black and white for Lenny Kravitz.
As the child of African-American actress Roxie Roker and Jewish TV producer Sy Kravitz, Lenny says he didn’t totally fit with any group.
But he wouldn’t have had it any other way.
It always seems odd you cut these urban-sounding tracks in The Bahamas.
It doesn’t matter where I am. People think if I’m in The Bahamas that the music is going to be Caribbean or island-like or mellow. But I carry the music inside of me, so the location provides me with the peace and tranquility to create, but it doesn’t make the album turn out that way.
