Sean Lennon

Generally content to play the wingman or backup guy for acts like Cibo Matto, Jurassic 5, Handsome Boy Modeling School, or Yoko Ono's band, Sean Ono Lennon is also a gifted songwriter and producer in his own right. His 1998 debut on Grand Royale and its follow-up, eight years later, show an ear for intriguing melodies and creative arrangements, as well as a supple singing voice that echoes not just his father's, but the typical Gen Y influences: Radiohead, Beck, and Kurt Cobain. Lennon also experiments in the visual medium, and shot videos corresponding to every song on his 2006 release, FRIENDLY FIRE.
