Whether it’s obvious or not, it’s difficult to navigate the pop and alternative music landscape without coming across Jack Antonoff. Before emerging as a recognized producer, Antonoff was the guitarist and vocalist for indie band Steel Train, the guitarist for Fun, and is the lead vocalist and driving force for the band Bleachers. Now, perhaps best known as a producer, Antonoff is leaving his mark on some of the biggest albums of the last fifteen years, working frequently withTaylor Swift, The 1975,Lana Del Rey, Lorde, and Sabrina Carpenter. It isn’t just ubiquity that sets Antonoff apart, it’s his genuinely unique and incredibly intuitive approach to production. His work consistently offers an optimistic flourish and promises sharp clarity, and his well-rounded abilities make him hard to miss.
