He started out on the drums and then added the guitar. He was raised on the R&B, jazz, classical, opera, gospel, and blues music that his parents enjoyed.

He first saw the Jackson 5 play at Madison Square Garden when he was just seven years old, and they quickly became his favorite group.

Duke Ellington even sang “Happy Birthday” for him on his fifth birthday. His father, who was also a jazz promoter, was acquainted with Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, Miles Davis, and other jazz legends.

When Kravitz’s mother got a job on The Jeffersons when he was 10 years old, the family moved to Los Angeles.

He spent three years performing a classical repertoire and singing at the Metropolitan Opera while a member of the California Boys Chorus, which he joined at his mother’s insistence.

He participated in the Hollywood Bowl performance of Mahler’s Third Symphony. Kravitz first encountered rock music in Los Angeles, where he reportedly became “attracted to the cool style, the girls, and the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.” 

He reportedly listened to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kiss, Pink Floyd, and the Who.

He was also introduced to marijuana during his junior high school years; he claimed to have been a “pothead” in his younger years. At the time, Fela Kuti, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Pharoah Sanders, and Miles Davis were some of his other musical inspirations.

Subsequent inspirations were Bob Marley and John Lennon. Maria McKee, Nicolas Cage, and Slash were all classmates of Kravitz’s at Beverly Hills High School.
