Biografía

John Charles Julian Lennon, nació el 8 de abril de 1963, en Liverpool, Inglaterra. Cantante, compositor y músico. Hijo único del matrimonio conformado por el Beatle John Lennon y Cynthia Powell y medio hermano de Sean Lennon. El nombre de Julian viene a ser un homenaje a la madre de John, Julia.

Brian Epstein, mánager de The Beatles y padrino de Julian, sugirió a John ocultar su matrimonio y paternidad por un tiempo para no afectar la popularidad del grupo. Fue así que Julian vivió alejado de los medios y de la publicidad de la Beatlemanía. A raíz de ello, Julian vivió su infancia con un padre ausente, por lo que se muestra frío al referirse a John, a su medio hermano Sean y en especial a Yoko Ono.

Julian inspiró ciertas composiciones musicales de The Beatles, como la conocida canción Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, a partir de un dibujo que él había hecho; inspiró a Paul McCartney en la canción Hey Jude y John escribió Good Night, cantada por Ringo Starr.

El debut musical de Julian fue a temprana edad, a los 10 años, tocando la batería en la canción Ya-Ya del álbum Walls and Bridges de John Lennon. Su carrera artística se hizo popular con el debut de su disco Valotte y con la canción Too late for Goodbyes en 1984. Luego del gran éxito, hubo tiempos de ventas bajas y Julian recurrió al alcohol y drogas. Mantiene muy buenas relaciones con los ex integrantes de The Beatles, en especial con Paul McCartney, quien para el lanzamiento del disco debut de Julian, le envió un telegrama deseándole suerte. Incluso, Julian ha admitido que prefiere el trabajo musical de Paul McCartney al de su padre.

Su voz, aspecto y estilo musical son muy similares a los de John Lennon, por lo que se especuló alguna vez con el retorno de The Beatles con él como integrante, lo que nunca sucedió.

En su MySpace se pueden escuchar tres nuevas canciones y una versión nueva de la canción Saltwater. Julian terminó un álbum nuevo en el 2008 y lo lanzará posiblemente en el 2009.

Julian Lennon es también el productor del documental llamado “WhaleDreamers” que trata acerca de una tribu aborigen de Australia y de su relación especial con las ballenas. Este documental también trata acerca de muchos asuntos del medio ambiente. Esta película ha recibido muchos premios y fue presentada en la Fiesta Cinematográfica de Cannes 2007.

Biography

John Charles Julian Lennon was born on April 8, 1963, in Liverpool, England. Singer, songwriter and musician. Only child of the marriage made up of the Beatle John Lennon and Cynthia Powell and half brother of Sean Lennon. Julian’s name comes to be a tribute to John’s mother, Julia.

Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles and Julian’s godfather, suggested that John hide his marriage and fatherhood for a while so as not to affect the group’s popularity. It was thus that Julian lived away from the media and publicity of Beatlemania. As a result, Julian lived his childhood with an absent father, so he is cold when referring to John, his half brother Sean and especially Yoko Ono.

Julian inspired certain musical compositions by The Beatles, such as the well-known song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, from a drawing he had done; inspired Paul McCartney in the song Hey Jude and John wrote Good Night, sung by Ringo Starr.
Julian’s musical debut was at an early age, at age 10, playing drums on the song Ya-Ya from the John Lennon album Walls and Bridges. His artistic career became popular with the debut of his album Valotte and with the song Too late for Goodbyes in 1984. After the great success, there were times of low sales and Julian turned to alcohol and drugs. He maintains very good relations with the former members of The Beatles, especially with Paul McCartney, who for the release of Julian’s debut album, sent him a telegram wishing him luck. Julian has even admitted that he prefers the musical work of Paul McCartney to that of his father.

His voice, appearance and musical style are very similar to those of John Lennon, so there was some speculation that The Beatles would return with him as a member, which never happened.

Three new songs and a new version of the song Saltwater can be heard on his MySpace. Julian finished a new album in 2008 and will possibly release it in 2009.

Julian Lennon is also the producer of the documentary called “WhaleDreamers” about an Australian Aboriginal tribe and their special relationship with whales. This documentary also deals with many environmental issues. This film has received many awards and was presented at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
