Robert Peter Schneider (born March 9, 1971) is an American pop musician, music producer and mathematician. He is the lead singer / songwriter / guitarist / producer of The Apples in Stereo and has produced albums by Neutral Milk Hotel, The Olivia Tremor Control and a number of other psychedelic and indie rock bands. Schneider co-founded The Elephant 6 Recording Company in 1991.
After spending the first six years of his life in Cape Town, South Africa, Robert Schneider's family moved to Ruston, Louisiana. In Louisiana, Schneider befriended Mangum, Hart and Doss and began discovering and playing music with them. After graduating from Ruston High School, where he was Junior and Senior class president, and spending two years at Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, Schneider moved to Denver, Colorado to attend university. Although he subsequently left school to pursue his musical ambitions, his academic interests remain strong, being an avid student of analytic number theory. In recent years Schneider studied mathematics at the University of Kentucky, completing his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in May 2012, while also composing, producing albums and touring. As of August, 2012, Schneider is engaged in graduate studies in Mathematics at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia where he is pursuing a PhD in Mathematics with an emphasis in number theory and theoretical mathematical science under mathematician Professor Ken Ono.
