‘I watched my sister die, and it changed me forever,’ he later told the New York Times.
But her death is what ultimately inspired him to become an artist. He added, ‘I felt so compelled to tell that story. It’s what makes me feel like I have a reason to live.’
He later told ABC that losing her resulted in him suffering from ‘very intense anxiety and depression.’
‘At that point in life, that’s when you’re supposed to be carefree and think that the world is wild open and anything is possible… I had the opposite experience,’ he said.
‘My world felt very much closed and it felt like anything horrible was possible. … To this day, I still have very intense anxiety and depression.’

After recruiting a few more members, they released an EP called For You My Dear in 2003.
The band went on to drop one more EP and three full studio albums, embarked on numerous tours, and they even performed at a series of big festivals over the years – including Lollapalooza in 2007 and Coachella in 2009 and 2010.
Jack continued to perform with them up until 2013, when they played their final show together at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City.

The band was behind some major hit songs like We Are Young (which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number one and won the Song of the Year award at the Grammys), Some Nights, and Carry On.
They announced that they were taking an indefinite hiatus in February 2015, writing on Facebook at the time that they weren’t breaking up, but rather, taking time to focus on solo endeavors.
‘First and foremost, to answer the question that has been raised most often: Fun. is not breaking up,’ the band wrote in a joint statement.
‘Fun. was founded by the three of us at a time when we were coming out of our own bands.
‘One thing that has always been so special about Fun. is that we exist as three individuals in music who come together to do something collaborative.
‘We make Fun. records when we are super inspired to do so. The three of us have always followed inspiration wherever it leads us.
‘Sometimes that inspiration leads to Fun. music, sometimes it leads to musical endeavors outside of Fun. We see all of it as part of the ecosystem that makes Fun., fun.’
Despite Fun.’s success, Jack recalled feeling like he wanted to do more. So in February 2014, he launched a solo project called Bleachers.
‘I remember immediately – immediately – feeling like, “I don’t want to play We Are Young when I’m 35.” I don’t want to be defined by this,’ he told the New York Times during a 2017 interview.
He has since dropped three EPs and three full-length albums under the stage name, and has won six Grammy Awards for his work.

‘There was a time very before Bleachers came out when it was this thing that my manager and I were super excited about and everyone else was like, “What are you doing?” in an almost hostile way,’ he told the Guardian in 2015, while discussing the solo project.
‘People would say: “You’re in a really successful band. What’s the problem?” But the funny thing is, there was no problem.

‘With art and the work you do, it has to be constantly dictated by what you’re feeling and where you want to go with it.
‘People in my life just had this big, “Why?” And I think the album answered that question. I had to say these things and I had to write these songs.

Jack was introduced to global superstar Taylor in 2013, when she asked him to help her make a song for the movie One Chance, starring James Corden.
According to the pop star, she wanted to work with him for the track after she became drawn to his ‘boundless enthusiasm.’
!['There is a boundless enthusiasm in the way Jack makes music, and it’s an absolutely irresistible quality to find in a collaborator,' gushed Taylor (seen with Jack at the Grammys in March 2021). 'The excitement he exudes in the studio is just so contagious, and he never seems overworked because he genuinely, hopelessly, deeply loves what he’s doing'](https://allnewspresscdn.cloudspecter.com/deutsch/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/1654178356_77_Margaret-Qualleys-new-fiance-Jack-Antonoff-Inside-his-career-as.jpg)

‘I see people pose the question all the time: “How does Jack Antonoff have the time and energy to be making this many records?” The answer is the very same reason I wanted to make music with him in the first place, all those years ago,’ she told Billboard in 2021.
‘There is a boundless enthusiasm in the way Jack makes music, and it’s an absolutely irresistible quality to find in a collaborator.
‘The excitement he exudes in the studio is just so contagious, and he never seems overworked because he genuinely, hopelessly, deeply loves what he’s doing.’
She also gushed to the Times, ‘His excitement and exuberance about writing songs is contagious.
‘He’s an absolute joy. That’s why everyone loves him. I personally wouldn’t trust someone who didn’t.’
They created the song Sweeter Than Fiction for the flick, after it was said that they bonded over a shared love for a particular snare drum sound used in a Fine Young Cannibals song.
The duo then teamed up to make three songs on Taylor’s album 1989, including Out of the Woods, I Wish You Would, and You Are in Love.
They also worked together on her song with Zayn Malik, called I Don’t Want to Live, which was featured in the movie Fifty Shades Darker.
He co-wrote and co-produced six songs on her album Reputation, including her massive hit Look What You Made Me Do.
Jack also played a major role in her albums Lover (he helped produce 11 of the songs), Folklore (he worked on six of the tracks with Taylor), and Evermore (he was a co-writer on two of the tunes).
‘I think one of the reasons why she’s so brilliant is that she just simplifies the process,’ Jack told the Guardian of working with Taylor.
‘What’s incredible to watch about Taylor is she writes the same way I remember writing when I was 15.
‘Just having an idea and a guitar and working it out. Other times, I’d email her a track I put together that I think she’d like. 20 minutes later, she’d send me a voice memo of her singing this chorus on top of the track, and 20 minutes after that, she’ll send me a verse idea.
‘Her songs are about these personal things that everyone goes through and that she goes through as well, whether it’s feeling bullied and ashamed, or picking yourself up after you’ve been knocked down.’
