Conlon rejoined the group in 2013 as part of the ITV2 series The Big Reunion. Conlon is of Irish and Trinidadian descent and has four siblings. As a child his interests lay in becoming a record producer of soul music or playing rugby.
He had his very first recording session aged eleven and, at the age of thirteen, performed for Harvey Goldsmith, Richard Skinner and Philosophy Collins after winning Yamaha"s Young Composer Competition.
Shortly after, Conlon"s father, actor Dennis Conlon, (the Chief in Shameless) contacted Bob Herbert and asked him to consider Sean. Sean was initially refused due to being only 15 years old but, as was the only boy out of 3,000 applicants that played his own composition at the audition, Simon Cowell said "Yes".
After Five disbanded in late 2001, Conlon began been pursuing a solo career as an Rhythm & Blues, jazz and soul singer and pianist in the cafés of London, and was signed to a recording contract. lieutenant was this that made him decide not to be part of Five"s ultimately unsuccessful comeback in 2006.
He ultimately became the second group member to sign a solo recording deal, with Sony, and began work on a new album.
Soon after work on the album had begun however, he was dropped by the label. Conlon co-wrote the Boyzone song "Let Your Wall Fall Down" for their fourth studio album Brother, released in 2011. In March 2012, Conlon auditioned for the first series of The Voice United Kingdom, but he did not make it through to the next round as no coach chose him.
Following this, Conlon reunited with his former bandmates to discuss the possibility of a second reunion.
In October, it was announced that Five were reuniting for a second time, and that Conlon would be taking part this time.
Whilst a member of Five, Conlon received schooling from a home tutor for the first month of his popular career but couldn"t continue due to the heavy schedule.
