Rick Rubin's Midas Touch: From Tyler Childers to Business Guru
3 min • 26 juli 2025
Rick Rubin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Rick Rubin has been all over the music headlines this week thanks to his major production credit on Tyler Childers’ just-released album, Snipe Hunter. Country Standard Time confirms Snipe Hunter landed July 25 via Hickman Holler Records and RCA, with Rubin producing and bringing his legendary touch to the record. The album’s release was quickly picked up by music press and fan accounts across Instagram, with No Depression emphasizing how Childers’ latest, “finds Rick Rubin at the helm, and true to the legendary producer’s aesthetic, the sound is stripped, dynamic, and raw.” There’s a lot of buzz in the country community: Saving Country Music even called July 25 a flat-out “country music holiday,” since releases by Childers, Cody Jinks, and others hit on the same day.
Rubin hasn’t been hiding from the limelight, either. Metal Injection ran a widely shared piece this week in which System of a Down’s Daron Malakian defended Rubin’s famously enigmatic studio style. Malakian revealed that the often-circulating memes about Rubin being passive are “far from the truth” and praised him as a deeply involved creative partner. This insight—coming straight from one of his influential collaborators—seems to be shifting some of the online discourse about Rubin as a modern-day guru more than a hands-on producer.
On the business speaking circuit, Rubin is slated for a headline appearance at the Nordic Business Forum in September, where he’ll present on creativity and business strategy. The NBF just confirmed over 7,000 tickets sold, making it a major international forum for leadership and innovation. His upcoming talk is already being hyped among executive circles, an indicator of Rubin’s cross-cultural influence beyond just music production.
Social media chatter keeps Rubin’s profile high. A trending Instagram post from No Depression spotlighted his role in Childers’ album, drawing hundreds of likes and comments in just hours, while another post—where he’s mentioned discussing “The Creative Act: A Way of Being”—has fans revisiting his mindset on artistry and work in unpredictable times. And one widely circulated Instagram reel captured him at a recent dinner with friends and cast members from his latest podcast season, stoking fresh speculation about future collaborations.
To sum up, Rick Rubin’s week has combined massive critical attention for the new Tyler Childers album, renewed analysis of his recording style in the rock world, major anticipation for his upcoming international business keynote, and lively engagement across Instagram and fan communities. No major business deals or personal controversies have surfaced recently, though his moves—especially Snipe Hunter and the upcoming NBF keynote—could set the tone for his next creative and professional chapter.
