Biography

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 Nashville. 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. 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).
