Schematic is a band and music project created by Dave Elkins, formerly of Mae. "Schematic" is the name under which Elkins is releasing his solo music, and Schematic is also the name of a record label and several related entities.
After Mae finished their final tour in 2011, Elkins moved to Nashville to become more involved with the music industry, building a studio, and taking on production and management roles for several bands.[1] Elkins believes that the "music industry model is broken and that a drastic improvement is necessary,"[2] and started Schematic to help emerging artists with distribution and marketing while still allowing them to maintain control over their music.
Elkins released the first EP under the name Schematic in 2012, and signed with Spartan Records in 2013 to release the band's first full-length album, Color (n.) Inside the Lines.[3] Following the release of the album, Schematic toured North America with support from Schematic Records artist Asker.
