Frank Anthony Iero, Jr. is best known as the rhythm guitarist of American rock outfit My Chemical Romance. He is also the creative mastermind behind Frnkiero andthe cellabration, Frank Iero and the Patience, and Frank Iero and the Future Violence (formerly known as Frank Iero and the Future Violents), as well as being one half of Death Spells.

Born in New Jersey and growing up with a father and grandfather who were both musicians, Frank exhibited musical talent from a young age. He performed in bands like Pencey Prep as a young adult before being recruited by MCR in 2002. After MCR disbanded in 2013, Frank released music under the stage name Frnkiero andthe cellabration. He has since renamed the project twice, with each album release, to Frank Iero and the Patience in 2016 and Frank Iero and the Future Violents in 2019. Regarding the name changes, Frank told Inked magazine, “My thing is I really enjoy the honeymoon period of where you name the band, figure out what it’s going to sound like, and the aesthetic behind it. So when it came time for me to do quote, unquote the ‘solo thing,’ I was like, ‘I’m just gonna change it every time.’ That way there are no rules. Laughing Since it does change, I figure if I keep my name in the front end of it, it shouldn’t be as confusing.”

Frank is known for being active on social media, sharing details from his life and engaging with his fans. He resides in New Jersey with his wife, Jamia Nestor, and their three kids – Cherry, Lily, and Miles.

After a highly anticipated reunion announcement, Frank was back onstage with his My Chemical Romance bandmates Ray Toro, Mikey Way, and Gerard Way for a reunion show at Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, CA, on December 20, 2019. The band has since announced a full worldwide reunion tour in 2020 which was delayed due to COVID-19. He also released a new EP with his band Frank Iero and the Future Violents called Heaven is a Place, This is a Place on January 15, 2021.
