Jack Antonoff Launches Recording Studios Initiative

Jack Antonoff has announced plans to create public, affordable recording studios at LGBTQ+ youth shelters through his Ally Coalition. He aims to spend a significant part of his life providing music facilities to those who lack access, stating that his own life was transformed in a recording studio. The initiative will involve funding a network of engineers to train users and managing studio maintenance, with the goal of expanding to cities nationwide after establishing the initial shelters. Antonoff is actively seeking support and resources from the community to aid this project, which he believes will also benefit commercial studios by addressing accessibility issues. He acknowledges the current challenges facing the recording studio industry, including decreased demand and impacts from the pandemic, emphasizing that this initiative is for those unable to afford traditional studio time. Antonoff's vision is for studios to be places accessible to everyone, fostering creativity and potential in underserved communities.
