About
BLESSTONIO is a Chicago-based DJ, classically trained musician, event/music producer, and dancer.
BLESSTONIO's eclectic sound compels audiences and his dynamic energy creates electric dance floor experiences. As a club dancer committed to fostering an inclusive, dance-focused environment, BLESSTONIO believes in the legacies of clubs and dance floors as brave spaces for “queerness, blackness, transgression, community, inclusivity, freedom, liberation, inspiration, and radical joy” (Honey Dijon), where dancers and DJs are equal, active participants in protecting these sacred spaces of movement.
Antonio is fascinated with club culture and has spent years studying and curating events in Chicago and Santa Barbara, California. His multicultural Puerto Rican, Black, and Jewish backgrounds lend him an attuned, eclectic ear ready to sonically compel audiences and create electric and magnetic dance floor experiences. Antonio is the co-founder and resident DJ of Fortune, a party series that centers dance as liberation and holds a safe space for the TQLGB+, Femme, Non-Binary, BIPOC, and disabled communities.
BLESSTONIO holds a residency, BEYOND, on AAJA Radio in London.
