Sean Conlon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sean Keiran Conlon, born on 20 May 1981 in Leeds, Yorkshire, was a former member of boy band named Five. He has four siblings.

Of Irish descent, Sean had his first recording session at eleven and at the age of 13 performed for Elton John, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Phil Collins after winning Yamaha's Young Composer Competition. Shortly after Sean enrolled in a performing arts school and, encouraged by his mother, auditioned for Five after seeing the advertisement in national newspaper The Stage. As a child his interests lay in becoming a producer of soul music or a rugby league player. Sean was the youngest member of Five at 15, officially too young for the auditions. Throughout his pop career he received schooling from a home tutor.

Since Five disbanding in late 2001, Sean has been quietly pursuing a solo career as an R 'n B/jazz/soul pianist/singer in the cafes of London and was recently signed to a recording contract.
