Career
Born and raised in Karlshamn, Sweden, Schuster started out as a drummer in local indierock bands in Karlshamn, before joining the hardcore/metal scene as a vocalist. At the age of 16, Schuster met Max Martin through their mutual friend Julius. By that time, according to a recent interview in the swedish music magazine "Stim-magasinet", Schuster said his taste in music was "too cool for school" and he had no interest in pop music whatsoever. Julius kept sending Schuster's indierock/deathmetal demos to Max, who became curious about what it would sound like if Schuster would make pop music. So in 2006 Max invited Schuster to his studio in Stockholm to record a demo with him, and since 2007 Schuster has been signed to Max's production company Maratone.
Among the first songs Schuster co-wrote with Max are Pink's 2008 single "So What" and Britney Spears' 2008 single "If U Seek Amy".

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
