[2][3] Born and raised outside the small town of Mjölby, Östergötland, he started singing and playing musical instruments, such as drums and electric organ, very early.

The Swedish musical Tivolisaga, translated as Carnival Tale, based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet but with the main characters renamed Punch and Judy, was written in close collaboration with director Johan Pettersson.

[4] Schütz has released five solo albums as a singer and performer, starting with Passion in May 2004, with jazz and bossanova influenced pop that was generally well received by the Swedish press.

[8][9] The second release Blissa Nova from November 2007 has a more contemporary and authentic Brazilian sound and had an even better reception by the Swedish press and also saw Schütz invited to do his first Japan tour.

A full-length album, Peacebird, was released on 5 October 2011, and was more contemporary as Schütz had been experimenting with drum loops to further develop his influences from Brazilian and Cuban music.
