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 2nd in 2003.[citation needed]
