MALCOLM'S LONG LIST OF RECORD CREDITS
 

ABOUT

Malcolm Springer was born in Hayti, Missouri, in 1970. A gifted musician, Springer grew up listening to the Delta Blues artists such as Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. Later on, in his teenage years, Springer began studying rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.

Springer graduated from Portageville High School in Portageville, Missouri, a small town in New Madrid County, Missouri. He then went on to attend Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri but dropped out after a year. During his time at Southeast Missouri State University, Springer played string bass in the university orchestra.

 

In 1991, shortly after his time at university, Springer worked for Solid State Logic, where he most notably helped to install the first moving fader Ultimation system. In 1992, Springer relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, to pursue audio engineering at Beale Street Studios. After working on multiple projects at Beale Street Studios (including records with acts such as Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies, O'Landa Draper, and Mother Station), he advanced to chief engineer of the studio. In 1993, Springer went on to become chief engineer of the House of Blues Studios in Memphis TN. Two years later, in 1995, Springer worked as a staff engineer at Ocean Way Recording, also located in Nashville. At Ocean Way, Springer met engineer and musician Peter Collins (record producer), which led to him becoming Collins’ assistant engineer and production coordinator from 1996 until 1997. In the year 2000, Springer signed a label imprint deal with The Island Def Jam Music Group, causing him to relocate to New York City. Springer’s peers here included many other notable music industry professionals, such as Lyor Cohen, Rick Rubin, and Glen Ballard.[4] Springer currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee, working as an audio engineer at East Iris Studios (formerly the House of Blues Studios, which was renamed after Universal Music Group’s 2019 acquisition of the studios).[5]

Malcolm Springer has earned recognition as an arranger, writer, engineer, producer, and mixer. He has worked with an array of artists, including Matchbox 20, Collective Soul, Full Devil Jacket, Isaac Hayes, Greenwheel, Modern Day Zero, Tantric (band), Fear Factory, Eric Clapton, Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Bill Payne, God Street Wine, Albert King, Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies, Derek Trucks, Clutch, Alison Krauss, Scotty Austin of Saving Abel, Jonathan Montoya of Saliva (band), Shinedown, Mark Collie, Danny Tate, Saliva (band), Sinch, Spike 1000, John Popper, Bryan Fox, Brett Manning, Sleeper Agent (band), Citizen Cope, Wayne Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Anita Baker, The Allman Brothers, Bobby Whitlock, Joan Armatrading, Boz Scaggs, Nappy Roots, and many others. He has received multiple golden and platinum records for his extensive production and engineering work in music.

Features

MALCOLM SPRINGER UNPLUGGED

The idea of the show grew out of Malcolm's engineering and production career. Over and over he found himself impressed with the intelligence and thoughtfulness of the artists he was working with. While working on the music, they had far-ranging and intriguing conversations on everything from how they came to be who they were to what they valued in life to their concerns for the world around them. Malcolm saw a side of the artists - was able to draw out a side of the artist - that few people had the pleasure of seeing. The podcast is Malcolm's way of sharing the special world that he's been a part of for so long.
