It started around when he was five. Lenny Kittilsen (born 1968) found that his mother’s pottery made into perfect drums. And her boy bashing away on her precious clay was fine with this music loving mom, whom worked nights as a DJ in clubs in Oslo.
Lenny grew up listening to mom’s latest vinyl goodies from the hip music scenes in England and the US – seventies style music that still runs deep in him and is one of his greatest influences today. This inspiration gave Lenny the kick that made him go for a musical carrier.
So far he has both made music for advertisements (Harald Zwart, Aker RGI Noetteknekker), for movies (Swedish hit movie Grabben i graven bredvid) as well as touring in Norway, USA, Mexico and Canada with different bands, as a vocalist and percussionist. Lenny also stayed in LA fronting one of the bands, where he did showcases, studio work and concerts in clubs such as Whiskey a Go Go, The Trubadour, Hard Rock Cafe and Baked Potato.
The last couple of years Lenny has been working hard, in and outside of the studio, and is finally presenting his own solo-album:
"Boomerang"
An album where the music and the lyrics are deeply personal and written (many of the instruments also played) by Lenny himself.
