“Marc Schuster is an insanely creative, multi-talented guy from the Philadelphia area… Not only is he an educator, author, literary critic and visual artist, he’s also a prolific songwriter and musician, recording both as a solo artist and as part of numerous music projects and collaborations with an ever-expanding roster of musicians… As if all that weren’t enough, he also started doing a weekly hour-long music podcast… where he features songs by talented indie artists he’s met through Twitter. I honestly don’t know how he finds the time and energy to accomplish all that he does!”

-Jeff Archuleta, Eclectic Music Lover

“Marc Schuster has been a mentor, a supporter, and a person to aspire to. This guy is Philly to his core. He’s had his hands on a number of independent music projects, including his own solo work. He is a composer. He is a writer; a novelist, a script writer, and an online journalist. He has directed films, shorts, etc. His band, Del Cobras, are exploding onto the local indie scene.“

-Jeff Thomas, Fifteen Minutes of Fame

MUSIC: I’ve been involved in a number of musical projects over the years. I currently play bass in DelCobras and record under my own name. I’ve also recorded with Brian Lambert in The Star Crumbles and with Timothy Simmons in Simmons and Schuster, as well as with Nick Cervini and a rotating cast of singer-songwriters in The Obscuritans.

RADIO: I’ve hosted a few radio shows. Archived episodes of my old shows are still available in podcast form: #Tweetcore Radio Hour and Abominations Radio.

BLOG: I have a blog called Abominations where I used to interview independent artists, but now I mainly doodle and opine on various topics.  I’ve also been known to write reviews for the Audio Mirage Studios blog and for The Horse’s Mouth, which is actually a newsletter rather than a blog.

BOOKS: I’ve written several works of fiction and nonfiction. My most recent work of fiction is a children’s story called Frankie Lumlit’s Janky Drumkit, and my most recent work of nonfiction is called Tired of California:The Beach Boys’ Holland Revisited. 

ART: I dabble in various types of visual art.

FILM: I wrote and co-produced a short film titled Daughter, Actually and improvised a short film called Milk Fudge with my friends Tim and Jen. I’ve been involved with a couple of other projects, too, including an animated short about a potato and a mockumentary about The Star Crumbles. Most recently, I composed the soundtrack for the short film Canary Trap.
