Conny Bloom is the stage name for Ulf Conny Blomqvist, (born 23 November 1964 in Stockholm) who is a Swedish guitarist and songwriter. He is best known as the frontman for the funk metal band, Electric Boys. Bloom also served a stint as a guitarist of the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks and in Silver Ginger 5.

Bloom began working in the musical arena and teamed up first with bassist Andy Christell, working as a duo, with Bloom supplying the vocals and guitar to Christell's bass guitar. They were signed by Polygram and scored a local Swedish hit with the single "All Lips and Hips" in 1988. With guitarist Franco Santunione and drummer Niklas Sigevall, they formed the band, the Electric Boys. Their sound was a unique, and a bit more funky rather than straight rock and roll.^[1] The band's debut, Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride held a better balanced version of Bloom and Christell's first hit, and they moved on to record another, Groovus Maximus, which never outdistanced their debut, and finally, after a change in lineup with the guitarist and drummer who had joined the duo leaving for new replacements, Freewheelin was released, but without much better critical or commercial success.

He is somewhat of a celebrity in Sweden and has also, especially with Electric Boys and later Silver Ginger 5, gained some international attention. After joining Hanoi Rocks, in 2004, however, Bloom has put his other projects in hold. He is also known in the UK for starring in an advert for Jameson Irish Whiskey.^[2]
