Kravitz’s epic performance starts with Fly Away. Soon enough, though, he transitions into multiple others songs. This includes TK421, It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over, Let Love Rule, and Are You Gonna Go My Way. Clips of his performance quickly made their way to Twitter, and folks around the world are loving it!

In addition to his electric performance, Kravitz became a highlight of the awards show with emotional acceptance speech. In it, he explains what it means to him for so many people to consider him an icon.

“It means a lot of things to a lot of people — to me it means you’ve made an indelible mark by being who God created you to be,” Kravitz shares. “And daring to be different.”

Fans certainly adore Kravitz’s uniqueness and were quick to share their support of him online.

Over the course of 35 years, Kravitz has released 11 albums, sold 40 million records, and won four Grammys.

“When I was first coming up a lot of people offered me a lot of deals but they wanted me to change,” he explains. “My music wasn’t Black enough, it wasn’t white enough. It didn’t fit nicely inside a box. Or sound like what was on the radio at the time. And I turned down the money and the glitzy promises of fame and stardom because I couldn’t live with myself doing something inauthentic.”

In turning down what wasn’t right for him, Kravitz cultivated a group of fans who support and love him for exactly who he is — how amazing is that!? It goes to show what’s possible when we stay true to who we are.
