Schneider began writing music in his hometown of Okemos, Michigan before studying visual arts at the University of Michigan and in France then moving to New York City where he worked as an artist. After relocating to Los Angeles, in 2010 Schneider formed Lord Huron as a solo project, recording a few EPs on his own and enlisting musicians to play in live shows. The band's name was inspired by Lake Huron, which Schneider grew up visiting.
