Career

Schneider was a fan of pop and hip hop music as a child, but later became attracted to the storytelling aspect of country music and began singing at the age of 14.[2] After meeting Brett Eldredge at a concert in the singer's hometown (Paris, Illinois), Schneider was invited onstage by Eldredge to perform a song during the latter's performance in Terre Haute.[2] He then began writing and performing songs both around Indiana and in Nashville, Tennessee. Between 2014 and 2016, Schneider posted a number of videos to YouTube of him performing cover versions of popular country songs, which earned him attention online.[1] The first video was posted on May 18, 2014.[3]

Schneider released his debut EP, Wannabe, on August 19, 2016.[4] His second EP, 17, was released the day after Scheneider's seventeenth birthday and reached number 37 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.[2] In February 2017, Schneider released his first radio single, "You Heard Wrong".[1][5] He released his third EP, Spotlight's on You, on April 14, 2017.[6] The record sold 1,700 copies in its first week, propelling the EP into the top 10 of the Heatseekers Albums chart.[7] Schneider released his fourth EP, Whole Town Talk, in August 2019. The EP was released by Interscope Records through a partnership with Round Here Records; an independent label founded by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of the Florida Georgia Line who also co-wrote several of the new tracks. It was also announced Schneider would join Florida Georgia Line for select dates of their Can’t Say I Ain’t Country Tour alongside Dan + Shay, Morgan Wallen, and Canaan Smith.[8]
