Schroeder is of Korean and German descent. On July 14, 2021, Schroeder released his debut single as a solo artist, "[[Haenim]]". | ||
Initially replacing co-founder James Iha, Schroeder made his live debut with the Smashing Pumpkins on [[The Smashing Pumpkins 2007-05-22|May 22, 2007]], in Paris, France, as the band embarked on an extensive comeback tour in support of the album, ''[[Zeitgeist]]''. Following the tour's completion, Schroeder became a core member of the band, and was described by [[Billy Corgan]] as a key collaborator on subsequent albums, ''[[Oceania]]'' (2012) and ''[[Monuments to an Elegy]]'' (2014). Following founding member [[w:James_Iha|James Iha]]'s return in 2018, Schroeder remained in the band, ushering in a three-guitar line-up, before his official departure in October 2023. | |||

In 2018, after performing and recording with The Smashing Pumpkins for over eleven years, Schroeder remained within the band's core line-up, alongside returning founding members [[James Iha]] and [[Jimmy Chamberlin]]. Reflecting on the importance of this, Schroeder noted: "I personally had a pretty touchy moment for myself in that I was sitting there tuning my guitar [in the studio], and then I looked around and saw Billy, Jimmy, and James. And then I look through the window and see [producer] [[Rick Rubin]], and I thought like, 'Wow. This is a really special moment.' To think that when I joined the band it was such a different scenario, that to even think twelve years later you'd be at this point, it was really unfathomable. So I really kind of took a second and took it in."<ref name="loudwire">{{cite web |url= http://loudwire.com/smashing-pumpkins-billy-corgan-playing-the-heel/ |title=SMASHING PUMPKINS' BILLY CORGAN ON PLAYING THE 'HEEL' |first= |last= |work=loudwire.com |accessdate=July 11, 2018}}</ref> | In 2018, after performing and recording with The Smashing Pumpkins for over eleven years, Schroeder remained within the band's core line-up, alongside returning founding members [[James Iha]] and [[Jimmy Chamberlin]].
