Now he’s teaming up with Sony Music for a new web show called To The Beat with Kurt Hugo Schneider, which will be aired on his channel.
The 10 episodes “will feature Sony Music stars performing special versions of their songs in collaboration with Schneider, who will also interview his guests” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The new show will debut next year, although the identity of the participating artists has yet to be announced.
