Liverpool, United Kingdom (1984 – present)
Julian Lennon (born Liverpool, UK, 8 April 1963), the elder son of the late Beatle John Lennon, debuted as a singer-songwriter in 1984 at age 20 with the album Valotte. It earned him a Grammy and sold 1.5 million copies. That album featured the two 80s pop hits “Too Late For Goodbyes” and “Valotte”.
After four more albums and generating millions in sales, Julian became frustrated with the music business, his record company and the lack of control he had over his music and career. In spite of his commercial success, in the mid-90s he decided it was time to walk away from the business. He returned in 1999 as an independent artist with his self released fifth album, Photograph Smile. Although he enjoyed creative control over music and was receiving critical acclaim for it, the business of music and the same old so-called music business regime that ran it again disenchanted Julian. He again stepped away from the industry.
Now, with with the emergence of the Internet giving artists the ability to take their music directly to the people, Julian is returning to the music world with a new album and tour scheduled for release in early 2010. Through his new company theRevolution, along with his partner Michael Birch (founder of Bebo), Julian plans to take his music directly to the listeners utilizing the Internet to re-introduce himself and his music to the world. As Julian puts it “it’s time to turn the music business into the musician’s business and “communicate directly with the people listening to my music”. Julian expressed excitement and the desire to embrace music again.

I got to see Julian twice in the 80's. He was great. He has so talent of his own.When does sing he does sound like his father. I love to listen to Julian sing.I am glad he had Paul when was young to look after him . Thing were so mixed up for him when he growing up. His mom was by his side all the time. They so close it's wonderful!!!!Cyn is a wonderful mom.

Julian always he was chasing his father for his love when he was little. It's a shame that John's life was gone before Julian could see his father again. He had so much to say and never got to tell him. That's sad!!!

I seriously don't hear the similarity to Paul that people are stating. John Lennon wrote tons of melodic/ballady songs so that doesn't figure for me. He has a voice eerily similar to his father, not Paul. And Julian's talent is absolutely his own, but there John's genes are also absolutely involved in that as well- same for Sean. They're both just too good and that'd be too coincidental so I'm attributing part of it to the fact that their father was a freakin' genius.
