Yoko Onois a multimedia artist who became known worldwide in the 1960s when she married Beatles front man John Lennon.

Biography
Born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1933, Yoko Ono began her artistic pursuits in New York City. She met John Lennon of the Beatles in November 1966, when he visited a preview of her exhibition at a gallery in London. They married in March 1969, and collaborated on art, film and musical projects until 1980, when Lennon was shot by a deranged fan. Ono has continued her art career as well as efforts to honor Lennon's memory, starting the LennonOno Grant for Peace award in 2002.

Early life: Multimedia artist and performer Yoko Ono was born into an aristocratic family on February 18, 1933, in Tokyo, Japan, the eldest of Isoko and Eisuke Ono's three children. Eisuke, who worked for the Yokohama Specie Bank, was transferred to San Francisco, California, two weeks before she was born. The rest of the family soon followed. Her father was transferred back to Japan in 1937, and Ono subsequently enrolled at the elite Peers School (formerly known as the Gakushuin School) in Tokyo.

The family moved to New York in 1940 and then back to Japan in 1941, when her father was transferred to Hanoi on the eve of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Ono remained in Tokyo through World War II, enduring the great firebombing of 1945. At the age of 18, Ono moved with her parents to Scarsdale, New York. She studied at Sarah Lawrence College, but left to elope with her first husband, Toshi Ichiyanagi.

Gaining Notice as an Artist: Settling in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, Ono developed an interest in art and began writing poetry. Considered too radical by many, her work was not well received, but she gained recognition after working with American jazz musician/film producer Anthony Cox, who later became her second husband. Cox financed and helped coordinate her "interactive conceptual events" in the early 1960s. The couple had one child together, daughter Kyoko, in 1963.

Ono's art often demanded the viewers' participation and forced them to get involved. One of her most famous works was the "cut piece" staged in 1964, when members of the audience were invited to cut off pieces of her clothing until she was naked, an abstract commentary on discarding materialism.

Recent Projects: Ono made music history in 2011, becoming the oldest artist to have number-one hit on the dance charts. She was 78 years old when "Move on Fast" made it to the top spot. Ono has also enjoyed renewed interest in her artwork with a special exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 2015. This show featured more than 100 works by Ono from 1960 to 1971.

In February 2016, Ono made headlines after she was admitted to a New York hospital. She sought treatment after experiencing flu-like symptoms. Her illness delayed her from traveling to France for a career retrospective showing of her art at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon. That same year, Ono participated in a group exhibition at the Istabul Modern with the installation work entitled "Ex It," which features trees growing out of coffins.

Works
WALKING ON THIN ICE:Vocals by ONO. Performed, produced and mixed by Danny Tenaglia. Danny Tenaglia previously remixed Yoko Ono's 'Walking On Thin Ice' in 2003 and 2013. Both remix packages went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart. Danny made the new 2016 Maestro Mix as a gift for Yoko - abandoning his usual dance style for a more poignant and elegant orchestral remix. Released on Yoko's 83rd birthday, 18 Feb 2016, this new video contains original camera footage from the music video that Yoko directed herself in 1981 for the original version of 'Walking On Thin Ice', much of it previously unseen. Music Executive Producers: ONO & Rob Stevens. Video directed by YOKO ONO.
