Jack Antonoff got his name from his Jewish father’s side, which is descended from immigrants from the Russian Empire who changed their surname from “Antinoff” to “Antonoff” upon arriving in the United States.

One less known fact about Jack Antonoff is that he founded and runs his own record label, called “Red Hearse Records,” which he started in 2017. The label is an imprint of RCA Records and has signed artists such as singer-songwriter Muna and indie pop band Bleachers.
