Early life

[edit]

Antonoff isJewish.[8][9]He grew up inNew Milford, New Jersey,andWoodcliff Lake, New Jersey,and attended elementary school at theSolomon Schechter Day Schoolof Bergen County.[10][11]For high school, he and his sister commuted toManhattanto attend theProfessional Children's School.[5]

During his sophomore year of high school, in November 1998, he and several friends from elementary school formed apunk rockband called Outline.[10]They released a self-titled EP through Lifetime Records, a friend's record label, in January 2000. Antonoff initially sang in the group until early 2000 when Eddie Wright took over on vocals.[12]With the addition of Wright, they recorded six songs which were later released[13]as6 Song Demoin the summer.[14]They released an album,A Boy Can Dream,in July 2001 throughTriple Crown Records.[13]When they were 15, Antonoff and his Outline bandmate used aDIYguide to book shows in numerous states, includingFloridaandTexas,and borrowed Antonoff's parents' minivan to travel in. During the tour, Outline played in venues such as anarchist bookstores, while the oldest member of the band drove because he was 18 years old. Antonoff explained in 2014: "Half the time no one would show up or the equipment would be too fucked up to play... but that's when I fell in love with touring." The band lasted until 2002.[6][10]

Music career

[edit]

Steel Train

[edit]

In 2002, Antonoff and friendScott Irby-Ranniarformed the bandSteel Train.Antonoff was the lead singer,[15]and they recruited drummer Matthias Gruber. The band then convinced two of their friends from the band Random Task, Evan Winiker and Matthew Goldman, to drop out of college to join the new band.[10]Steel Train secured a recording deal withDrive-Thru Records.[10]The group was popular on the jamband festival circuit and Antonoff has said he has applied that grassroots mentality to his future projects.[16]

Fun.

[edit]

In 2008,Nate Ruess(formerly the frontman ofthe Format) asked Antonoff to join him andAndrew Dost(formerly ofAnathallo) in a new band, which becameFun.[17]Antonoff was already well acquainted with Ruess and Dost, as their former bands had all toured together.[17]The new band released its debut album,Aim and Ignite,in 2009.[18]Fun's second album,Some Nights(2012), produced the band's first number-one hit single, "We Are Young".The song was co-written by Antonoff with Ruess, Dost, andJeff Bhasker.[19]Fun. then played with their musical heroesQueenin September 2013 at theiHeartRadio Music Festival,which was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Live in the USA.[18]

Bleachers

[edit]

Antonoff announced a solo project calledBleachersin February 2014.[21]Antonoff stated in June 2014 that the project had been a consideration for around 10 years, and the name was inspired by the "disconnected, darker side" of suburban youth andJohn Hughesmovies, which were "tied to a time when big songs were great songs." The songs for the debut Bleachers album were mostly written on Antonoff's laptop computer in hotel rooms during a Fun. world tour.[6]

The Huffington Postpublished a positive review of Bleachers' first single, "I Wanna Get Better"—released on February 18—calling it the" catchiest song of 2014, "[22]whileTimeproclaimed, "[Bleachers] is more fun than Fun."[23]Antonoff revealed the intent behind the debut single in aRolling Stoneinterview:

I wanted to bridge the gap between Disclosure and Arcade Fire—something both streamlined and organic... The production and songwriting is extremely over-the-top, extremely epic and unapologetic. The record is all about finding a world where you can be kind to yourself in.[21]

Antonoff explained toRolling Stonethat, while the song might sound joyous, "it's very desperate" and, like many of the other songs on the album is about loss.[21]Antonoff worked with producers John Hill andVince Clarkeon the Bleachers studio album, as he sought to create "massive, beautiful pop songs that sound fuckin' cool." The completed album,Strange Desire,was released in July 2014, and "I Wanna Get Better" peaked at number one on the U.S. Alternative charts during the same week. In regard toStrange Desire,Antonoff said:

It doesn't have to be one or the other... You don't have to [make] big pop songs that sound stupid and you don't have to make these fuckin' apologetic, tired droney songs that sound incredible. I really wanted both things to happen.[21]

"I Wanna Get Better" was eventually named number 18 inRolling Stone's 50 Best Songs of 2014, with the publication describing the song as "therapy rock" that is "as fun as it is cathartic".[24]Antonoff released Bleachers' second albumGone Nowon June 2, 2017. Its lead single "Don't Take the Money" peaked at number 2 on Alternative Radio.[25]On July 30, 2021, he releasedTake The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night.[26][27]Bleachers'self-titled fourth studio albumwas released on March 8, 2024, being preceded by the release of four singles: "Modern Girl", "Alma Mater", "Tiny Moves", and "Me Before You".[28]

Personal life

[edit]

Antonoff dated classmateScarlett Johanssonfrom 2001 to 2002.[112]When Antonoff first moved out of the family home near the end of 2012, he lived with his sister Rachel inNew York City.Afterward, he lived withLena Dunham,whom he was dating at the time.[6]The couple separated in December 2017.[8]As of December 2019, he lived in the same New York apartment he shared with Dunham where he had a home studio.[113]

In 2023, Antonoff married actressMargaret Qualley,after dating for a couple years.[114]

Antonoff has spoken publicly about his struggles withdepression,anxietyandobsessive–compulsive disorder.He claims that hearing of others' battles with depression made him feel "not better, but not alone" and "way less scared".[115]As of June 2014, Antonoff was seeing both a therapist and apsychopharmacologist,while also taking anti-anxiety medications. He hasgermophobiawhich was exacerbated by a bout of pneumonia that he suffered in 2011 while recording a studio album for his band Fun. His pulmonologist prescribed a daily run, but he explained that he hates it "more than anything" because it is "one of the most truly boring experiences on Earth."[6]

Music is central to Antonoff's life and he explained in June 2014:

I need a hobby, and I don't want it to be basketball... I want it to be music. So to get away from music, I do other music. If I'm producing someone's song or writing with someone else, then doing a Bleachers song or a Fun song is an escape and it keeps me creative and it keeps me locked into what I want to do. If something's making me crazy, I need to go somewhere else and I don't want that thing to be yoga.[6]
