Sean Lennon

Sean Taro Ono Lennon (Japanese: 小野 太郎, Hepburn: Ono Tarō; born October 9, 1975) is a British and American musician. He is the son of musical artists John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and half-brother to Julian Lennon. Over the course of his career, he 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. He 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).
