I'm John Schroeder and I'm a musician based in Los Angeles. I work as a session player, composer and producer as well as being a solo artist and running a small home studio.

I'm a graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music and have toured extensively all over the world as a guitarist with artists ranging from music legend Frankie Valli to indie-rock band Pomplamoose. I often play in the house band on ABC's Dancing with the Stars and have released two solo guitar records as well as a multitude of music with my longtime collaborator Ross Garren (sometimes as the Sheriffs of Schroedingham). I've produced two french language records for the band Pomplamoose - 'En Francais' (2020) and 'Impossible A Prononcer' (2021) - and a full length record for Nataly Dawn - 'Gardenview' (2022).  I also write music for film and tv and my work has popped up everywhere from 'Somebody Feed Phil' on Netflix to Yankees games on NBC. Additionally I perform with and manage LA's premiere yacht rock specialists Harbor Party.

Other artists/musicians I've had the honor of performing or recording with include: Steve Miller, RuPaul, Marc Cohn, Grace Kelly, Kait Dunton, Janiva Magness, Raquel Rodriguez, Micheal Bearden, Jordin Sparks, Cyrille Aimee, Ellen Reid, and Nigel Hall.

Recently I've been working on a number of TV and film projects. Some of the productions I've had the pleasure of contributing stringed instruments to include Mr. Throwback (NBC), Death in Paradise (BBC), Women of the Movement (ABC), Palm Royale (Apple), Motown Magic (Netflix), Golden Gate (Red Bull Studios) and Disney on Ice.

I'm also a committed educator and have taught at Musicians Institute, Los Angeles College of Music and Sonora Guitar Intensive.
