Born in Andernach, West Germany, Schmidt begun his career starting his own band Factor 6. However, the heavy metal band Rage had noticed Schmidt and his skills with the guitar, so in 1987, he was asked to become a member of that band. He joined and become a member of the trio and released many albums with them. In 1994, he quit the band. His first son was born in 1997, the second in 2003.
In 2000, another door was opened for him when guitarist Uwe Lulis left German heavy metal band Grave Digger. Their bassist Jens Becker suggested Schmidt as a replacement. He remained with them until October 2009.[1]
In early 2010, Schmidt formed his own band, Capital Joke.
