Kelly Conlon is an American bassist hailing from Long Island, NY. He started playing tuba at the age of 10 years old in elementary school. After the tuba (and moving to the county of Nassau) he found himself moving through various brass instruments such as: baritone, trombone and finally trumpet. He continued to play trumpet through out high school in the jazz and concert bands.

     After high school Kelly moved down to the Sunshine State a.k.a. Florida. This is where Kelly decided to switch from brass instruments to some thing else. Here, he decided on the bass guitar, remembering from school how big the sound was compared to the trumpet. At age 18, a new state and nothing but the bass as a friend, he played up to 6 hours every day honing his craft.

     Growing up in NY he listened to Motown, Jazz, Rock, and Heavy Metal. He took these influences and added some of it all to his own style.

     Kelly played with various bands consisting of rock and progressive styles (TALONZFURY band) as well as Death Metal (VESICANT.)

     Just after 7 years of learning the bass (finger style exclusively) Kelly was asked to audition for the metal band DEATH. He ended up playing on the album "Symbolic" followed by his first European tour.

     In 1996, Kelly joined another metal band; Monstrosity. He played with Monstrosity for 3 years playing on albums "MILLENNIUM" and "IN DARK PURITY."

     After Monstrosity and the Death Metal scene overall, Kelly wanted to go back to some of his roots. He then moved back up north where he is currently playing with the band INFINITY MINUS ONE, A progressive style metal band. INFINITY MINUS ONE released an album in 2007 entitled "INFERNAL MACHINE."

     Playing various gigs with other bands and studying just as he did when he started, and after 20 years playing bass, Kelly finds himself still honing his craft.

     He exclusively endorses CONKLIN BASSES, DR STRINGS, BLUE NOTE STRAPS, and CARVIN amps/cabinets.
