Reader Profile: Chris Fronzak

While some Metal bands like Metallica or Iron Maiden have found mainstream success, very few of them make more than thirty grand a year at best.  An exception to this is Chris "Fronzilla" Fronzak, the lead singer if party metal band Attila.  While Attila is fairly successful currently by metal band standards, Fronzak has taken it to the next level, using the success of Attila to become a successful businessman worth millions.

Fronzak's initial breakthrough was his clothing company Stay Sick.  With outrageous lyrics and bright colours the line became an overnight success.  The income from Stay Sick has allowed Fronzak and his family to settle in a 4 car garage mansion in Celebration Florida.

Stemming from the success of Stay Sick, Fronzak started a second clothing line, Tree Life.  In addition to providing Fronzak with extra income, Fronzak improved his own reputation by planting a tree for every shirt or hat sold.

Fronzak has continued his business ventures by starting his own record label.  As of this writing he is working on an iPhone app.

Business ventures like this have allowed Fronzak to live an extremely lucrative life style.  The aforementioned 4 car garage is now filled with luxury SUV's and supercars including a Maserati Quatroporte, a Porshe Panmera, a Cadillac Esclade and a Mercedes G63.  These cars total well over $500,000 alone.

Despite his success, Fronzak has remained humble.  He posts videos on his own YouTube talking about the importance of hard work and perseverance, and encourages fans to do what they love to make money.

What Will I Learn?

As someone who already enjoys writing, and has already been through a very writing bevy program with radio, I'm excited for even more practice.  I want to be able to write at a business level so I can use it in my future endeavours. In addition I would also like to know more about grammar, as aside from hand writing, it's what I struggle most with.  Lastly while I feel like my writing is at a good level of description already I would like to improve further.  In addition I would like to use the points discussed in class to have my writing reach a higher standard by the end of the year.
