The birth of Sean Taro Ono Lennon came about on October 9, 1975, in New York, USA. Sean Lennon was born into the family of John Lennon (father) and Yoko Ono (mother). His exposure to music started at a very tender age, the reason being that John Lennon (Sean Lennon’s father) belonged to the Beatles –a band specializing in rock music. John Lennon was particularly an eminent member of the rock band.

Sean Lennon’s education began in Tokyo where he was enrolled in pre-school. When Sean was 11 years old, he was further schooled at Institute Le Rosey –a prominent Swiss boarding school.

Later on, Sean Lennon was further schooled in his birthplace (New York). Having finished his education at Dalton School and the private Ethical Culture Fieldston School, he proceeded to Columbia University but didn’t wait to finish his education therein. He’s said to have dropped out of Columbia University while in his second year.

Career

Sean Lennon has enjoyed a successful musical career heavily influenced by the fact that his two parents are musical icons. Because Sean Lennon was going to tread the career path of his parents, it’s unsurprising that he marked his first appearance on the musical scene at a very tender age; Sean was just 5 years old when he featured in his mother’s Season of Glass –a 1981 album.

Growing up, Sean collaborated massively with his musician mother, Yoko Ono, with his vocals featuring in the latter’s songs. Aside from receiving production credit on some of his mother’s albums, Sean Lennon continued to strike musical collaborations with Yoko Ono into his teen years.

During his teens, Sean collaborated with Lenny Kravitz as a co-writer of the latter’s song titled “All I Ever Wanted”. The song was a part of Kravitz’s album titled “Mama Said” and was released in 1991. Sean struck another partnership with Kravertz for the cover of “Give Peace a Chance”.

Sean further worked with his mother on the latter’s album titled “Rising”. He contributed to the album by forming the band that accompanied Yoko Ono. Named IMA, the band comprised Sean Lennon, Timo Ellis, and Sam Koppelman. Aside from maintaining a long-standing partnership with his musician mother, Sean Lennon partnered with the musical group “Butter 08”. He was in fact a vibrant member of Butter 08 to which he contributed not only as a guitarist but also by providing vocals.

At a later time, talented Sean began to win the attention of various other groups. The Beatles is considered one of the bands and/or groups he signed contracts with. Although Sean happened to have started engaging actively in music years before, the talented musician didn’t release his first single until 1998 when he sent “Into the Sun” into the airwaves.

As a quick follow-up to his debut single “Into the Sun”, Sean’s EP titled “Half Horse, Half Musician” came out in 1999 and became a remarkable success.

It’s quite noteworthy that Sean Lennon, who began music at a young age and shot into the limelight early enough, went out of the limelight for a relatively short period. In 2009, Sean co-started a record label –named Chimera Music –with Charlotte (Sean’s girlfriend).

Within his successful artistic career, Sean has not only delighted his fans with musical exploits but also with film appearances. He has featured in several TV series and films including “Infinite Escher” (Sony’s 1990 short promo film), “A Master in Paris”, and “Moonwalker” (a 1998 film by Michael Jackson).
