Steven Cole was born on March 18, 1974 in Manhattan, New York. He is the son of Roxie Roker, an actress known for her character Helen Willis in the 1970s hit television sitcom The Jeffersons, and Sy Kravitz, an NBC television news producer. He is also the younger brother of singer and actor Lenny Kravitz. His father was from a Russian Jewish family (with origins from Ukraine). His mother was of Afro-Bahamian and African-American descent, and was from a Christian family. Cole is the cousin [once-removed] of television weather presenter Al Roker. During his early years, Cole did not grow up in a religious environment. After a spiritual experience when he was 13, he started attending church, becoming a non-denominational Christian.

After having a dispute with older brother Lenny Kravitz, about his music career, Cole disowned his family. He then changed his name to Steven Johnny Cole in 1995. He now has a career in acting and does various television commercials for Super Casino
