Life and career
Karl Johan Schuster was born and raised in Karlshamn, Sweden. He began as a drummer in local indie rock bands in Karlshamn, as well as recording all instruments on the 2003 Meriah demo...Turn Him Your Other Cheek, a strictly black metal band, before moving to Sweden in 2004 and 2005, drawing comparisons to fellow Swedish melodic death metal band In Flames. He appeared on the Faith album Sorg in 2005 as a guest artist.
Schuster met Max Martin at the age of 16 through a mutual friend Julius. Schuster's taste in music by that time was "too cool for school," according to a report in the Swedish music magazine Stim-magasinet, and he had no interest in pop music at all. Julius continued to send Schuster's indie rock-death metal demos to Martin, who became curious about what it would look like if Schuster made pop music. Since 2007, Schuster was invited to his Stockholm studio to film a demo with him, and Martin has since 2007 Schuster has been signed to Martin's production company Maratone.
Pink's 2008 single "So What" and Britney Spears' 2008 single "If U Seek Amy" are two of Schuster's first songs to co-write with Martin. Schuster received the STIM Platinum guitar award in 2012. Schuster created "Problem" alongside Martin and Ilya in 2014. Shellback's drummer David Sandstrom and the band's drummer collaborated with Swedish hardcore punk band Refused in 2015. Sandstrom sent him the Refused's "Elektra" and "366" versions, which Refused had performed with engineer Nick Launay, and Shellback responded with his own arrangements of the two songs. Shellback's versions were "far more Refused than our versions" and "were more correct" than the Launay-produced versions, according to recalled frontman Dennis Lyxzen in June 2015. The two songs from Refused's comeback album Freedom—"Elektra" was released as a single on April 27, 2015, but Epitaph Records announced them on June 25, 2015.
