The Bleachers frontman has launched his Public Studios initiative, with initial plans to open up recording studios in LGBTQ+ youth shelters before expanding to bring music spaces to cities around the country. “I plan to spend a large part of the next chapter of my life bringing these spaces to people who wouldn’t have access to them, public studios available to those who are priced out,” Antonoff wrote in an Instagram announcement on Tuesday that he titled, “Shadow of the City.”
