The Man Behind the Songs: Max Martin

Update: Max has done it again! One of the (if not THE) top songs for Summer 2014 is a Max Martin track that flips the normal song formula on its head. Yes, you have probably heard it by now it is Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea's "Problem" a song that starts strong and simmers down for the chorus. This song will be sizzling everywhere you go this summer and you can thank Max Martin for it! 

This video blew my mind; I was a little skeptical at first about number of hits ‘Max Martin’ had produced so I had to check it out. It turns out this man really is a hit machine. 42-year old Swede Max Martin (his birth name is Karl Martin Sandberg) has had a hand in so many HUGE pop songs. From Katy Perry to Britney Spears he has written/co-written 16 Billboard #1 hits since 1999. Martin has even won six ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Song Writer of the year awards!
