Lenny Kravitz gifted Natasha, the 18-year-old daughter of Alex Rodriguez, a white piano for her 4th birthday. Despite the passing years, she continues to play the instrument.

When Scurtis, aged 50, inquired Kravitz, aged 59, about where she could buy the particular gift, the musician admitted that he had a white piano "stored" and offered it to her. He suggested that they have it delivered to their home.

"I immediately contacted her father and informed him that Lenny has a white piano, and he is willing to give it to us. I asked him to arrange for its shipment from California," Scurtis reminisced. "Her father took care of it, and that's the piano she currently plays on."

In the video, the scene transitions to Natasha, who is 18 years old, showcasing her musical talents on a white piano while singing. Natasha revealed in the video that as she has grown older, she has developed the ability to accompany herself while singing, and playing the piano serves as a therapeutic outlet for her. She expressed that the combination of discipline and creativity involved in playing the piano offers her a sense of liberation.

Natasha, a student of musical theater at the University of Michigan, is breaking new ground in her family as the first to pursue a career in the arts. Despite her father's fame as a record-setting baseball player, Natasha attributes her drive and inspiration to her father's strong work ethic. Besides Natasha, Rodriguez and Scurtis also have a daughter named Ella, who is 15 years old.

Natasha acknowledges that even tough advice from others is a sign of their desire for her success. She admits that her father has instilled in her the belief that discipline is a form of love, a value they both share deeply.

Rodriguez spoke exclusively to We before his daughter headed off to college. He expressed his excitement for her to pursue her passion but had one request regarding her studies.

"My only condition is that, while she can study drama or whatever she wants, she must also take business classes at Michigan because they have an excellent business school," Rodriguez explained to Us in August. "That was the agreement."
