Lenny LaCroix was born in Chicopee, Massachusetts—let’s just say, a few years ago. His love affair with music started early; by age five, he was drumming up a storm, and by six, he had already moved on to the piano. At twelve, he formed his first band, where he not only played but also arranged and led the group like a true pro.

At seventeen, Lenny took his talents to the Hartt College of Music at the University of Hartford in Bloomfield, Connecticut. He was determined to make his mark, completing the rigorous four-year program in just three years and graduating at the top of his class. While still an undergraduate, he formed a jazz quartet that went on to compete in the prestigious Georgetown Intercollegiate Jazz Festival, earning second place. He later pursued his master’s degree, further refining his craft.

After graduating, Lenny relocated to Los Angeles in 1969, where his career took off. As a pianist, arranger, conductor, and composer, he worked with an eclectic mix of legendary entertainers, including Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, Lucille Ball, John Denver, Gene Kelly, Shirley MacLaine, Ann-Margret, Tony Danza, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca, Jim Henson, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and more. His collaborations extended into the world of dance, working with renowned choreographers such as Onna White, Michael Peters, Joe Layton, Alan Johnson, and Danny Daniels.

Lenny’s expertise wasn’t limited to the stage—his talents found a home in film and television as well. He worked on film projects with producers Blake Edwards, Mark Rydell, and Gene Saks and contributed to numerous television productions with top producer-directors, including Nick Vanoff, Marty Pasetta, Jim Henson, Don Mischer, Pierre and John Cossette, George Schlatter, Lee Mendelson, Gary Smith, and Dwight Hemion. His ability to adapt his musical style made him a sought-after collaborator in the entertainment industry.

Beyond Hollywood, Lenny brought his musical vision to the high seas, producing music for major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Radisson, Holland America, Silversea, and Oceania. Whether on stage, on screen, or at sea, his work has left a lasting impact on audiences worldwide.

With a career spanning decades, Lenny LaCroix continues to inspire as a musician, arranger, and educator, shaping the next generation of artists while celebrating the timeless power of music.
