Rock legend Lenny Kravitz was recently honored with the 2774th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an experience the star has described as ‘surreal.’ His star-studded ceremony was full of prominent personalities, including actor Denzel Washington and his own daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz.

Kravitz, 59, paid tribute to his mother, Roxie Roker, and her work on “The Jeffersons,” crediting Norman Lear for his own start in Hollywood. His remarkable journey in the entertainment circles was celebrated in his daughter’s loving, albeit teasingly roasting, speech about her ‘cool dad’ at the ceremony.

Amidst all the celebrations, drummer Cindy Blackman Santana will be performing at The Carlyle Room in Northwest D.C., ensuring a weekend rock treat for fans after the Walk of Fame celebrations.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which awarded Kravitz the star in the recording category, witnessed another memorable event where family, friends, and Hollywood’s A-list guests celebrated Kravitz’s influential career. His Walk of Fame ceremony not only marked recognition of his colossal contributions to music but also showed the affection and reverence with which he is regarded in the industry.
