Julian Lennon the elder son of the late Beatle John Lennon, debuted as a singer/songwriter at age 20 with the album Valotte selling well over a million copies.
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 and look into other interests in his Life, Photography, Cooking & Sailing, to name a few...
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, and he again stepped away from the industry.
Too many broken promises...
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 2010. Julian plans to take his music directly to the listeners utilizing the Internet, as well as traditional methods 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 is excited and embracing music again.
