Musical artist

**Peter Malick** (born November 28, 1951) is an American blues guitarist, record producer and entrepreneur. He's currently the CEO of InboundAV.

## Music career

In the late 1960s, Malick was a member of the band [Listening](/source/Listening_(band)).[1] Listening was signed by [Vanguard Records](/source/Vanguard_Records) in [New York City](/source/New_York_City) when Malick was sixteen.

He played guitar with blues pianist [Otis Spann](/source/Otis_Spann), who invited Malick to live with his family in [Chicago](/source/Chicago). Over the years, Malick backed up and toured with blues musicians such as [Muddy Waters](/source/Muddy_Waters), [Big Mama Thornton](/source/Big_Mama_Thornton), and [John Lee Hooker](/source/John_Lee_Hooker). Later, Malick was a [conductor](/source/Conducting) and [music director](/source/Music_director) for the national touring company of *[Hair](/source/Hair_(musical))*. Malick next joined the [James Montgomery Band](/source/James_Montgomery_(singer)), recording *First Time Out* and *High Roller*, both for [Capricorn Records](/source/Capricorn_Records).[2]

For the next 20 years, he made money at cards. He returned to music in the 1990s, recording *Wrong Side of My Life* (1998) and *Sons of the Jet Age* (2000). He won the [W.C. Handy Award](/source/Blues_Music_Award) for historic album of the year in 2001 for the Otis Span album *Last Call*. Two years later he wrote and produced the album *[New York City](/source/New_York_City_(The_Peter_Malick_Group_album))* featuring [Norah Jones](/source/Norah_Jones).[2]

Malick opened Chessvolt Studios in 2006,[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] a recording studio where he worked with a number of indie artists including Hope Waits, Courtney Jones, and [Butch Norton](/source/Jonathan_Norton).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] While running Chessvolt, Malick and his partner ran Luxury Wafers Sessions,[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] which hosted live recording sessions with artists including [Mother Mother](/source/Mother_Mother), [Gaby Moreno](/source/Gaby_Moreno), [J Tillman (Father John Misty)](/source/Father_John_Misty), [Langhorne Slim](/source/Langhorne_Slim), [Dengue Fever](/source/Dengue_Fever_(band)), [Heartless Bastards](/source/Heartless_Bastards), and [Lissie](/source/Lissie).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Malick closed Chessvolt Studios in 2009 but continued to make music, including co-writing the album *Wix n' Lix* with drummer [John Wicks](/source/John_Wicks_(drummer)) and writing and producing the song "27 Years" with the Korean [Jung Yong Hwa](/source/Jung_Yong-hwa).[3]

## Entrepreneurship and marketing

Malick shifted his professional focus in 2013, becoming CMO of Westlake Pro Audio[4] in Los Angeles.[5]

In January 2017, Malick left Westlake Pro Audio to pursue his own marketing business, first as co-founder of Lumen Foundry,[6] and later that year, as founder and CEO of InboundAV which he still owns and operates. InboundAV, an inbound marketing agency, initially catered to the professional audio and music industry. Malick has since led InboundAV to expand its reach, acquiring a number of clients outside of the pro audio industry.[7] Under his leadership, InboundAV became a Platinum HubSpot Solutions Partner and earned HubSpot’s Custom Integration Accreditation.[8]
