Marc Schneider joined Billboard in 2011 as a news editor for its consumer-focused website. Three years later he pivoted to covering the business side of music as an industry news editor for Billboard Pro. (He handles the weekly 'Executive Turntable' column and the semimonthly 'Publishing Briefs' — send notices, tips and plaudits to marc.schneider@billboard.com). Prior to Billboard, he spent a decade or so in various editorial roles at AOL. He's a seriously out-of-practice musician, a collector of antiquated forms of physical media and is currently building a stumpery in his backyard. Marc is not on X and recently deleted a long-dormant Instagram account and will never solicit money in exchange for coverage. If an imposter slides into your DMs, kindly ignore and report.
