Biography:
Kelly's vast musical history begins with his embracing the baritone in
school at age ten, later graduating to trombone and trumpet, while
participating in both his school jazz and concert bands. Interestingly, he
did not begin bass studies until the age of eighteen. But to get an idea of
what a quick study he is, and his level of proficiency, one only need note
that he did a two-year stint with the highly popular metal act, Death, which
included recording on and internationally touring behind its 1995 "Symbolic"
release by RoadRunner Records.
Another point of note is that, post-Death, Kelly Conlon recorded on another
popular metal act's (Monstrosity) releases titled, "Millennium" (1997) and
"In Dark Purity" (1999) by Conquest Music and Uni/Slipdisc labels,
respectively. These accomplishments have garnered him impressive
endorsements with both DR Strings and Carvin music products.
