hey everyone! i’m bonnie & i’m so stoked to be here. i’m in love with joe keery and tyler joseph so here we are. anyways, here’s some lil blurbs about my baby, so just like this and i’ll message u for plots !
joe keery. twenty-five. cis male. he/him. the black keys. | i can’t believe i just saw DANTE MATTHEWS walking out of cadence records. they’re the LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST from the PUNK group HEATSTROKE who have been in the industry for THREE YEARS. the tabloids love to focus on their IMPRESSIONABLE nature, but they’re also pretty KINDHEARTED and they seem to give off a vibe that reminds people of THE CRACKING ON A VINYL, UNDERGROUND SHOWS IN CROWDED CLUBS, DIFFICULT GUITAR RIFFS, TEA STAINED PAPER WITH LYRICS SCRIBBLED ON THEM.
background
born & raised in upperstate new york, dante born to two professors at the university there ( picture something similar to syracuse university tbh ) his mother lectured about ancient texts from all over the world and a father who was a professor in the music department.
so ofc he was named after dante, the italian poet lmao
anyways, so growing up during the breaks, he would sit in to his father’s lectures and that’s where he was able to find his love of music
and while he started learning piano around the time that he could read ( and he was already good at it by a young age ) he also asked his father to teach him to how to play guitar
so he fell in love with guitar, and it didn’t help that his father played all sorts of old records from when he was growing up, so he naturally began to favor rock/bluesy music
in school, he was never really an outgoing kid. you would have found him either reading comic books at lunch all alone or sitting in the band room talking to the band director
so he like scraped by, making passing grades in english, doing great in math because his mind is so used to the numbers bc u kno...music
fast forward to his high school years and he’s becoming more outgoing, even playing at some local coffeehouses for their open mic night, which was a shocker to most of his friends ( the handful that he had ) because he was always so quiet and then boom, he’s performing on stage in front of a crowded cafe but he found that he actually loved it?
it was something that he always dreamt of doing but never thought he had it in him but then he did and he was good at it so he started to perform more and more
for college, he knew he would always go to his parents university bc thats where his parents taught, so that’s where he went, majoring in music composition and he went through all four years, graduating at 22.
and following his graduation, the band moved out to la, trying to get gigs anywhere they could, renaming themselves heatstroke because cali was hot compared to upperstate ny haha
and finally, they went from having to only perform in bars or underground clubs, they got a record deal with cadence records & tbh dante loves it
like yeah he’s gotta keep up some of the fake rocker stereotypes but honestly he’s living his dream and he’s so in love with it
personality wise, he has two very different like personalities ofc. one for stage/the paparazzi so he’s constantly partying ( nothing too crazy tho ) and he’s outgoing and talkative. the other is for his personal life where he’s this awkward, comic book loving, d&d is one of his favorite past times lil sweetheart. and i mean he doesnt do a complete 180, but he still puts up a lil facade u kno
he’s also currently “”fake dating”” rosie byers for pr uwu
but yeah just like this and i’ll come sliding into ur dms & we can plot smth !
