Well, I first heard of Kurt Schneider back in 2013 when my classmate showed me a video of his entitled HOLIDAY MEDLEY! where he featured Victoria Justice, Max Schneider and an awesome medley of Christmas songs.
I was really amazed and in awe of the whole production of the video because it showed a massive show of technique, skill and awesomeness. It was very unique. I haven't seen anything like it in the whole Youtube world. You should see it for yourself to believe me. VIDEO BELOW!
Let's have a quick overview on Kurt Schneider to know more about him:
KURT HUGO SCHNEIDER was born on September 7, 1988. He is now at age 27. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland but grew up in Pennsylvania. He finished high school as Valedictorian in Wissahickon High School and Magna Cum Laude in Yale University back in 2010 with a degree in Math.
Besides having a degree in Math (which is already pretty awesome for me), Kurt was involved in musical theater back in high school and quickly developed a love for music and performance. In college, he developed his musical and technical abilities by creating content for his Youtube Channel which started back in October 2007. In 2009, he created his own production company names NoodleHouse Studios (clever name, Kurt. Such a clever name).
In 2011, he moved to LA, where he now lives and works-composing, producing, performing and directing.
Now, he has over 3 million subscribers and over 600 million views in his Youtube videos.
Most of his works are collaborations with many singers, world famous and Youtube famous. Some of this collaborations are with Victoria Justice, Max Schneider (note: He is NOT Kurt's brother), Kina Grannis, Alex Goot and Against the Current. 80% of his videos were made with his good pal from middle school, Sam Tsui. They have been best friends since middle school and have been inseparable ever since.
He has been creating a lot of Youtube creations for almost 9 years now, and he has surpassed Youtube's usual production level by creating unique videos which showed amazing production techniques.
Favorite Video?
Woah. Well. There are a lot. I don't have a single fave video because Kurt surprises his audience every week with his videos and that's kinda amazing. But the videos that stood out for me are HOLIDAY MEDLEY!, MAROON 5 MEDLEY, WHERE YOU ARE and PASS IT ON. You guys should definitely check these videos because I really liked them. Not only the song but the technique.
Favorite Song covered?
I would probably between WHERE ARE U NOW, ROSES and PROBLEM. But, I would pick PROBLEM out of the three because he made it into something new. He made into a sweet mellow acoustic love song than that of the upbeat dancy kind of vibe.
Favorite Video Technique?
My favorite technique that Kurt always does is his One-Takes. I can't fully explain it here I guess you have to see it for yourself.
Well, that's all I have for you today. Thank you so much for your time.
Don't forget to check on Kurt's social media accounts and Youtube videos. HE IS REALLY AMAZING!
Yours Truly,
