internationally renowned musician, philanthropist, photographer, author, fine art photography book out now
Julian Lennon's sensitive and poetic vision of life courses through his acclaimed music, photography and writing.
In music, Lennon's melding of uplifting introspection and thoughtful social commentary with refined hooks has made for a compelling eight-album body of work. His debut, Valotte (Atlantic), yielded two top ten hits—the title track and "Too Late for Goodbyes"—and was nominated for a Grammy for "Best New Art-ist." He released five albums from 1984–1998: the Grammy-nominated Valotte, The Secret Value of Daydreaming, Mr. Jordan, Help Yourself, and Photograph Smile, before returning to music in 2011 with Everything Changes. He went on to have #1 singles on the U.S. album rock charts. Internationally, one of his most popular songs, "Saltwater" charted successfully around the world, topping in Australia for four weeks and reaching #6 in the U.K. In 2022, Lennon released his album Jude (BMG). He recently released a new single, “because…,” a new EP.
An acclaimed fine arts photographer, Lennon has exhibited in galleries worldwide since 2010 and published first-ever fine art photography book, Life's Fragile Moments (2024). His show 'Horizon' reconciled photography with philanthropy through an initiative between his foundation and Charity: Water, bringing critically needed clean drinking water to parts of Africa. During his travels through Kenya, Ethiopia, South America and beyond, he captured images inspiring viewers to learn about unique Indigenous cultures. In 2021, he partnered with Portia de Rossi’s General Public and RH to present a special collection, which is available now. Lennon is also set to host and executive produce the docuseries Inspire, exploring how surroundings influence the making of art.
As the Founder of The White Feather Foundation, Lennon has received numerous humanitarian awards, most recently the 2021 World Literacy Award for his significant contribution to literacy. He is also a New York Times bestselling author, with four children’s books, all with environmental themes, in his current repertoire. His most recent title, The Morning Tribe, was released in November 2021.
