==Early life and education==
Sean Ono Lennon was born at [[Weill Cornell Medical Center]] in Manhattan, New York City, on 9 October 1975, his father's 35th birthday. He is of Japanese descent on his mother's side and English, Welsh and Irish descent on his father's side. [[Julian Lennon]] is his half-brother, and Kyoko Chan Cox is his half-sister.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gao|first=Lillian|date=2021-05-02|title=The Truth About Yoko Ono's Kids|url=https://www.nickiswift.com/398376/the-truth-about-yoko-onos-kids/|access-date=2021-12-05|website=NickiSwift.com|language=en-US}}</ref> [[Elton John]] is his [[Godparent|godfather]].<ref name=people>{{cite web|title=Elton John Celebrates His Friend John Lennon and Gets a Visit from Yoko and Godson Sean|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20082926,00.html|website=People|access-date=August 20, 2014}}</ref> After Sean's birth, John Lennon became a [[Stay-at-home dad|stay-at-home-dad]] to look after him. This lasted until John was [[Murder of John Lennon|murdered]] on December 8, 1980, when Sean was only five years old. 

Sean attended [[kindergarten]] in Tokyo<ref>{{cite news | author=Dekel, Jonathan | url=http://www.spinner.com/2010/10/08/sean-lennon-interview-john-yoko-plastic-ono-band/ | work=[[Spinner.com|Spinner]] | title=Sean Lennon on Singing John's Songs, Making Music and Yoko Ono's Legacy | date=October 8, 2010 | access-date=May 7, 2011 | archive-date=August 4, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804070646/http://www.spinner.com/2010/10/08/sean-lennon-interview-john-yoko-plastic-ono-band/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> and, at his request, was educated at the exclusive private boarding school [[Institut Le Rosey]] in [[Rolle]], Switzerland, and earlier at New York's private [[Ethical Culture Fieldston School]] and [[Dalton School]]. He attended [[Columbia University]] for three semesters, majoring in anthropology before dropping out to focus on his music and tour with his mother.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lennon |first1=Sean |title=Sean Shows That He's A Real Lennon |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/pop-sean-shows-that-hes-a-real-lennon-1162142.html |website=The Independent UK |access-date=3 February 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=McLean |first1=Craig |title=Sean Lennon interview |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/8102991/Sean-Lennon-interview.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/8102991/Sean-Lennon-interview.html |archive-date=January 11, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |website=The Telegraph UK |date=November 5, 2010 |access-date=3 February 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In October 1984, when [[Steve Jobs]] was visiting Manhattan, he attended Ono Lennon's birthday party and gave him one of the first [[Macintosh 128K|Macintosh]] computers as a present.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and Steve Jobs at Sean Lennon's room in the Dakota, giving him an early Apple computer for his birthday | url=https://exhibits.stanford.edu/warhol/catalog/hy186wz4640 |access-date=2024-08-06 |website=Andy Warhol Photography Archive - Spotlight at Stanford |language=en}}</ref><ref name=Isaacson>{{cite book|last=Isaacson|first=Walter|title=Steve Jobs|year=2011|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=New York City|isbn=978-1-4516-4853-9|pages=[https://archive.org/details/stevejobs00isaa/page/180 180]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/stevejobs00isaa/page/180}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Sean with Mac: pics via Dave Haslam tweet|url=https://twitter.com/mr_dave_haslam/status/1422929411511304194|access-date=2021-10-26|website=Twitter|language=en}}</ref> That same year, he sang "It's Alright" on ''[[Every Man Has a Woman]]'', a tribute album to his mother.

His parents started his musical career: his debut into the music world came at age five, when he recited a story on his mother's 1981 album, ''[[Season of Glass (album)|Season of Glass]]''. From childhood into his teen years, Ono Lennon continued to collaborate with his mother, contributing vocals and receiving production credit on her solo albums ''[[It's Alright (I See Rainbows)|It's Alright]]'', ''[[Starpeace]]'' and ''[[Onobox]]''.  At 16 Ono Lennon co-wrote the song "All I Ever Wanted" with [[Lenny Kravitz]] for his 1991 album ''[[Mama Said (album)|Mama Said]]'', and worked with Kravitz on a cover of his father's song "[[Give Peace a Chance]]" in protest of the [[Gulf War]]. By 1995 Ono Lennon had formed the band IMA (with Sam Koppelman and [[Timo Ellis]]) to play alongside his mother on her album ''Rising''. Ono Lennon also made appearances in film, featured in the cast of [[Michael Jackson]]'s 1988 ''[[Moonwalker]]'' and portraying a teenager experiencing visions of various [[M. C. Escher]] [[Printmaking|prints]] in [[Sony]]'s 1990 promotional short-film ''Infinite Escher''.

==Professional career==
===Performance===
[[File:Sean Lennon.jpg|thumb|upright|Ono Lennon at a [[Free Tibet]] event in 1998]]
In 1996, [[Miho Hatori]] and [[Yuka Honda]] of [[Cibo Matto]] were invited by Ono to remix the song "Talking to the Universe" for a ''Rising'' remix [[Extended play|EP]] ''Rising Mixes''. They met Ono Lennon and invited him to join them on tour as a bass player. This eventually led to Ono Lennon's contributing to their side-project [[Butter 08]] and to his becoming a member of the group. He continued to play with them on tour, joining them on television and providing bass guitar and vocals on their EP ''[[Super Relax]]''. Through his association with Cibo Matto, Ono 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]]. Regarding Grand Royal, Ono Lennon has said:<blockquote>I think I found the only label on the planet who doesn't care who my parents are and what my name is. It's a good feeling to know that I wouldn't have gotten the offer if they wouldn't have liked my songs. That's pretty rare in the music business!<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefrisky.com/2009-09-15/sean-lennon-defends-his-homage-portrait-after-backlash/|title=Sean Lennon Defends His Homage Portrait After Backlash |website=Thefrisky.com |date=2009-09-15 |access-date=2017-03-06}}</ref></blockquote>

Ono Lennon's solo debut, ''[[Into the Sun (Sean Lennon album)|Into the Sun]]'', was released in 1998. A music video for "Home", a single from the album, was directed by [[Spike Jonze]] and enjoyed extended airplay on [[MTV]]. The album was produced by fellow Cibo Matto member Yuka Honda, who Ono Lennon claimed was his inspiration for the album, who he had begun dating at the time.

He went on tour (often backed by Cibo Matto) supporting ''Into the Sun''. During this period he appeared on radio programs such as ''[[The Howard Stern Show]]'' and [[KCRW]]'s ''[[Morning Becomes Eclectic]]''. He later recalled promoting the album as a bitter experience due to the media focus on his family rather than his own music. In 1999, Ono Lennon's EP ''[[Half Horse, Half Musician]]'' was released featuring new tracks such as "Heart & Lung" and "Happiness" as well as remixes of songs from ''Into the Sun''. Along with ''Half Horse Half Musician'', 1999 saw the release of Cibo Matto's second album ''[[Stereo Type A]]''. Ono Lennon stepped out of his traditional role as the group's bass player, this time playing a much wider range of instruments (such as drums, guitars, and synthesizers). Despite being well-received, ''Stereo Type A'' was followed by an extended Cibo Matto hiatus.

In 2000, Ono Lennon contributed vocals to [[Del tha Funkee Homosapien]] (a single stanza on the [[Deltron 3030]] track "Memory Loss"), [[Handsome Boy Modeling School]] and [[Jurassic 5]]. In 2001 on national television, Ono Lennon performed several classics by [[the Beatles]], "This Boy", "Across the Universe" and "Julia" alongside [[Robert Schwartzman]], [[Rufus Wainwright]] and [[Moby]] for ''[[Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music]]''. In the following years, Ono Lennon faded out of the spotlight to focus more on his role as a producer.

[[File:Seanlennon4-29-07.jpg|thumb|upright|Ono Lennon performing in 2007]] In 2000, Sean had a guest appearance on the [[Soulfly]] album ''[[Primitive (Soulfly album)|Primitive]]'' on the song "[[Son Song]]".
After the folding of Grand Royal Records in 2001, Ono 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 (Sean Lennon album)|Friendly Fire]]''. A promotional trailer for the CD/DVD package of ''Friendly Fire'' was leaked online in early 2006. The trailer featured scenes from the [[Friendly Fire (2006 film)|film version of the album]], a DVD of music videos comprised into a film. The videos were actually screen tests for Coin Locker Babies, another project on which Ono Lennon was working which became a cinematic counterpart to his new album.<ref name="musicbox">{{cite web|url=http://www.musicbox-online.com/interviews/sean-lennon-05212007.html|title=Taking Friendly Fire with Sean Lennon|access-date=May 23, 2007|year=2007|author=Parish, Matt|work=The Music Box}}</ref>

''Friendly Fire'' was released in October 2006. The theme of the album is love and betrayal, and it is dedicated to the memory of a close friend who died. The night the album was released, Ono Lennon made his first major television appearance in five years, performing "Dead Meat" live on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]''. Ono Lennon has since appeared on ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'' and ''[[The Sharon Osbourne Show]]''. When questioned about the eight-year gap between solo albums in interviews, Ono Lennon said that he did not feel like a solo artist during those years and that he wanted to experience music anonymously without the spotlight on him and his girlfriend.

[[File:Sean Lennon - 5361481649.jpg|left|250px|thumb|upright|Ono Lennon performing in 2011]]
Since the release of ''Friendly Fire'', Ono Lennon has toured extensively around the world and while in France, he remixed his song "Parachute" in collaboration with French artist [[Matthieu Chedid|-M-]]. The remix is titled "L'éclipse"<ref name="l'eclipse">{{cite web|url=http://leclipse.emi-artistes.com|title=''Sean Lennon & -M- en duo''|access-date=May 23, 2007|year=2007|work=L'eclipse |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070522104558/http://leclipse.emi-artistes.com/ <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = May 22, 2007}}</ref> and was featured as a bonus track on the French release of ''Friendly Fire'', while the single "Dead Meat" was featured in an episode of the TV drama ''[[True Blood]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rouner |first1=Jef |title=True Blood: When Sean Lennon Is the Best Thing Going On, You're In Trouble |url=https://www.houstonpress.com/music/true-blood-when-sean-lennon-is-the-best-thing-going-on-youre-in-trouble-6513783 |website=Houston Press |date=August 5, 2013 |access-date=14 February 2019}}</ref>

On August 28, 2012, Ono Lennon's opposition to [[hydraulic fracking]] was published as an op-ed article, "Destroying Precious Land for Gas", by ''[[The New York Times]]''.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/28/opinion/sean-lennon-destroying-precious-land-for-gas.html?_r=2&ref=opinion | work=The New York Times | first=Sean | last=Lennon | title=Destroying Precious Land to Drill for Gas | date=August 27, 2012}}</ref> Of [[Artists Against Fracking]], in 2014 he said that "we can make more people aware of the damage fracking poses to our water supply, global warming, and climate change. Methane is 100 times more powerful of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and most people don't realize how climate change will be triggered by a globalized fracking industry."<ref name=dallas>{{cite web|last1=Dearmore|first1=Kelly|title=Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger's Sean Lennon: 'Once You Frack, You Can't Go Back.'|url=http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2014/05/sean_lennon_on_the_earths_wate.php|website=Dallas Observer|date=May 8, 2014|access-date=August 5, 2014|archive-date=May 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140515013330/http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2014/05/sean_lennon_on_the_earths_wate.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> On August 30, 2012, Ono Lennon unveiled "Artists Against Fracking", a campaign aimed at preventing the expansion of fracking in the United States. Over 200 artists have signed onto the initiative, including [[Mark Ruffalo]] and [[Anne Hathaway]], as well as Beatles' members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.<ref>{{cite news |last1=George |first1=Lerner |title=New York anti-fracking group draws celebrity support |url=https://www.cnn.com/2012/08/29/us/new-york-fracking-artists-protest/index.html |website=CNN |access-date=14 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=About — Artists Against Fracking |url=https://artistsagainstfracking.com/about/ |website=Artists Against Fracking |access-date=14 May 2019}}</ref>

Asked by the ''[[Dallas Observer]]'' for his view of religion and spirituality, Ono Lennon said: "I'm not against religion, because I think it serves a purpose in our society and it can be helpful to certain groups of people. But, for me, religion is mythology. ... I do think we all have a spirit, and I think there's a lot more to life and human consciousness than science can explain. But I prefer looking to science for answers because it can be tested and vigorously logical."<ref name=dallas/> On October 16, 2013, Ono Lennon, along with [[Spacehog]] and [[Liv Tyler]], played "Live on Earth" – an Internet-only performance – to benefit the [[David Lynch Foundation]], which funds the teaching of [[Transcendental Meditation technique|Transcendental Meditation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musictimes.com/articles/1775/20131010/spacehog-liv-tyler-sean-lennon-play-david-lynch-foundation-stageit.htm|title=Spacehog, Liv Tyler, Sean Lennon Play David Lynch Foundation Stageit Show LIVE ON EARTH for Transcendental Meditation|work=Music Times|date=October 10, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bienfaits-meditation.com/en/david_lynch_foundation/support/sean_lennon|title=Spacehog & Friends: Liv Tyler, Sean Lennon, Charlotte Kemp Muhl - A special live stream benefit concert for the David Lynch Foundation - Meditation Benefits|author=Codeway|website=Bienfaits-meditation.com}}</ref> Of his own practice of Transcendental Meditation, in 2014, Ono Lennon said that "for me, it's like a scientific method to calm my brain down and making my frontal lobe more active. It's an exercise, really. It helps me to have about 10 percent more conscious thinking."<ref name=dallas/>

Ono Lennon once described himself as a [[pacifist]], [[capitalist]], and [[anarchist]]; on February 6, 2016, he tweeted, "[[AnCap]] is the only logical result of the [[Non-aggression principle|non aggression [principle]]]. I am a pacifist so therefore an anarchist."<ref>{{Cite tweet|last=Lennon|first=Sean|user=seanonolennon|number=696103269450420224|date=2016-02-06|title=@gxthbro_ AnCap is the only logical result of the non aggression principal.
