Full Name: Chad Anthony

Birthday: June 3rd 1985

Birthplace: Passaic Hospital, I live right down the street from it,  in a highrise  overlooking all the beautiful stone churches in the area.

Family: Father Bob, he’s a roofer, my mother, she’s crazy and my sister, also crazy hegeheh, she’s married with three kids. Two of my nephews were born deaf and were able to have an implants. They’re my miracle babies :o)  It is so amazing the first days they get their ears turned on. It’s literally like an entirely new life being born. They become so much more aware of everything and eager to learn the new entity in their lives.

Who would you trade lives with for a day? No one. I love my life and where it’s taken me so far. I know that everything I’ve ever admired in a persons life, I will earn and learn eventually.

What book are you reading now? Behold a Pale Horse. It’s a biography about what we perceive to be everyday life and what we inadvertently accept as truth. Fantastic book.

What CD is playing in your car right now? The Used “ in Love and Death “

What is the best thing about being an artist? Freedom

What is the worst thing about being an artist? No Freedom hahahahh

Biggest career embarrassment: I used to be in a band called Mission Failed and one night our singer couldn’t make it to the show in time so I had to play drums and sing at the same time. I didn’t even know some of the words, I just kinda mumbled right through it hehgeh. Surprisingly enough everyone seemed to have a great time, so it turned out to be a pretty liberating night.

Most memorable career concert: With that same band, we had the pleasure of opening for what at the time was one of my favorite groups, Twelve Stones. I was an amazing show, Sound was bumpin, the light show was awesome and we got to play fooball with the guys and chill with’em before we played.

What is your favorite hometown hangout? Matthews Diner when I used to live in Waldwick, NJ.  The place was always packed to the brim with all my friends.

What is something you want others to know about you? . I don’t know, you could tell just by talking to me, I’m a weird kid. Some people actually say I’m from Mars, but honestly, I can’t disagree heheh. I love weird people, I grew up with them and they’re fun.

Who has been the most influential person in your career? Hhhhhmm, well I used to play a ton of sports when I was about 10, just about every one in the books. I had so much energy I guess that the alternative of just hitting stuff in a certain tempo and making music seemed thrilling to me. One of the drummers I first got turned on to was Lars Ulrich.

How did you get into the music industry? I guess I fell in feet first with my first real band MVM. They were making an album and needed a drummer. Older group of guys. Funny that the same people were in another band before and wanted me to tour but I was only a freshman in highschool. Darn good people with sturdy moral boundaries.

Favorite song: Take it away by The Used

Favorite vacation spot: I never take a “ vacation “ my vacation’s the studio

Favorite food: Korean Sausage. Everytime you eat it though, people can smell your breath from across the room after you brushed your teeth 6 times....... literally.

Guilty pleasure: Chocolate, Guilty is an understatement.

Worst fear: Sadness.

What was your very first job? I was on a roof with my dad since I was 10 years old.
