THE LEGENDARY ROCK ICON LENNY KRAVITZ WILL BE PART OF THE UNTOLD 2024 STORY

The creators of UNTOLD, a festival ranked 6th in the world's largest festivals, have prepared live premier acts for this year's edition. Lenny Kravitz, the only artist with four consecutive Grammy Awards in the "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance" category, will perform at Cluj-Arena.

Considered one of the most influential rock artists of our time, Lenny Kravitz is a versatile and brilliant musician renowned for his exceptional rock, funk, and soul music skills. With an eclectic mix of rock, retro, and pop influences, he has redefined the musical landscape since the '90s and become iconic in the music industry.

Lenny Kravitz has constantly reinvented and redefined his sound and artistic image in recent years. From classic rock influences to funk and soul experiments, he has demonstrated remarkable adaptability to change. He is a songwriter, producer, actor, fashion designer, and developer and has won four Grammy Awards four years in a row. In 2024, he was honored with the Recording Academy Global Impact Award, a trophy awarded to artists who have significantly impacted the international music industry.

He has collaborated with the biggest names in music, from Michael Jackson and Madonna to Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams, and Peggy Gou. From his first singles "Let Love Rule" and "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" to "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "Fly Away," "American Woman," and "Again," Kravitz has become a chart regular. His songs have entered the Top 10, Billboard Top 100, and have been aired on major radio networks.

"Are You Gonna Go My Way" earned Kravitz a BRIT Award for "Best International Male Artist" and an MTV Video Music Award for "Best Male Video." At the awards ceremony, Lenny Kravitz took the stage alongside John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin; it was a memorable duo!

With the album "5," Kravitz embraced digital technology and introduced the concept of "sampling" for the first time in his career. The single "Fly Away" became a commercial success, entering the "Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks" and "Modern Rock Tracks" charts. It also earned him his first Grammy Award. His cover version of "American Woman," a song by Guess Who included in the soundtrack of the film "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," won him a second Grammy for "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance."

In 2000, Kravitz released the album "Greatest Hits," considered the most successful album of the decade. He is the only artist to win four consecutive Grammy Awards from 1999 to 2002 in the "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance" category. He has won American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Radio Music Awards, Brit Awards, and Blockbuster Entertainment Awards.

He has appeared in box-office hits such as "The Hunger Games," "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "Precious," and "The Butler," and was awarded the CFDA Fashion Icon Award in 2022, being considered an influential figure in fashion. In February of this year, he received the Music Icon Award at the People's Choice Awards.

He has been ranked in the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock," and his 11 albums released so far have sold over 40 million copies worldwide. His 12th album, "Blue Electric Light," will be released on May 24, 2024.
