Lennon co-wrote the song \”All I Ever Wanted\” with Lenny Kravitz for his 1991 album Mama Said, and worked with his father on a cover of his father’s \”Give Peace a Chance\” 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 EP Rising Mixes. They met Lennon and invited him to join them on tour as a bass player. This eventually led to Lennon’s contributing to their side-project Butter 08 and to his becoming a member of the group. 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 prints in Sony’s 1990 promotional short-film Infinite Escher. He attended Columbia University for three semesters, majoring in anthropology before dropping out to focus on his music and tour with his mother.

Lennon attended kindergarten in Tokyo and, at his request, was educated at the exclusive private boarding school Institut Le Rosey in Rolle, Switzerland, and earlier at the private Ethical Culture Fieldston School and Dalton School. At 16, Lennon played alongside his mother on her album Rising. Lennon was approached by Adam Yauch, who expressed an interest in his music, and persuaded him to sign a record contract with Grand Royal Records. He went on to tour with Into theSun, supporting the group at the time on radio programs such as The Howard Stern Show and KCRW’s Morning Morning. He later recalled the experience as a bitter experience due to the focus on family rather than his own music.

Lennon is of Japanese descent on his mother’s side and English, Welsh and Irish descent onhis father’s side.
