“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 as well as with Nick Cervini and a rotating cast of singer-songwriters in The Obscuritans. I’ve also recorded with Brian Lambert in The Star Crumbles and with Timothy Simmons in Simmons and Schuster. 

RADIO: I’ve hosted a few radio shows and am currently the Program Director for AMS Radio. 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 interview independent artists and occasionally opine on topics related to music.  I’ve also been known to write reviews for the Audio Mirage Studios 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.
