About Sean Lennon

Sean Tarō Ono Lennon is a British and American musician. He is the son of musical artists John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and half-brother of Julian Lennon and Kyoko Cox. Over the course of his career, Lennon has been a member of the bands Cibo Matto, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, the Claypool Lennon Delirium and his parents' group Plastic Ono Band. Lennon has released three solo albums: Into the Sun (1998), Friendly Fire (2006), and Asterisms (2024). He has produced numerous albums for various artists, including Black Lips and the Plastic Ono Band. Lennon served as executive producer and music producer for One to One: John & Yoko (2024). The film centers on the only full-length post-Beatles concert John Lennon and Yoko Ono performed, the "One to One" benefit show in 1972. In October 1984, when Steve Jobs was visiting Manhattan, he attended Lennon's birthday party and gave him one of the first Macintosh computers as a present. Through his association with Cibo Matto, Lennon was approached by Adam Yauch (of Beastie Boys), who expressed an interest in his music and persuaded him to sign a record contract with Grand Royal Records. After Sean's birth, John took a hiatus from music and became a stay-at-home dad. After the folding of Grand Royal Records in 2001, Lennon signed with Capitol Records, yet no solo material surfaced until February 2006, when "Dead Meat" was released as the first single from his new album, Friendly Fire.
