Lenny Kravitz and Sean Lennon -
speakeasy

Four-time Grammy Award winner Kravitz, a collaborator and mentor for Lennon since they played at a John Lennon tribute concert in the Eighties, gets comfortable in conversation through their shared experiences of music, childhood with celebrity parents, and an appreciation of the power of positivity in creativity. Lennon's detailed research and off the beaten path questions leads to some unexpected revelations including Kravitz's early days classically trained in the California Boys Choir, his range of influences beyond the expected Sixties sounds from the Carpenters to Gladys Knight, his high school Bowiesque musical alter ego, the role family played throughout his career, and his current work as a designer of everything from chandeliers to cameras. Plus, his longtime collaboration with Craig Ross and the process behind Kravitz's 11th self-produced studio album, Raise Vibration. Filmed at the Triad Theater in New York City.

About Speakeasy:

Ever wish you could watch a talk show where compelling subject matter -- not gossip -- is topic #1? Where defining moments in a career are explored? Where the evolution of a skill is discussed, and a look inside what makes talent tick, drives the conversation? Speakeasy.

One singular talent, chatting with that talent's chosen interviewer; whether a journalist, creative partner or friend.

The premier season of Speakeasy has begun.

Filmed before a live audience on a 1930's-era set located in Manhattan's historic McKittrick Hotel, the look and feel of this 6-part series is soft and intimate.

Viewers will have the unique perspective of experiencing a personal, frank conversation.

An artist may choose to illustrate a point through his instrument of choice, but Speakeasy is not a performance series.

It's all about the conversation.

In the first season, renowned artists such as Roger Waters of Pink Floyd is interviewed by journalist Bill Weir, and Chic's Nile Rodgers talks with longtime friend Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson.
