Max Martin
Max Martin is a Swedish songwriter and producer whose work has shaped pop music since the 1990s.
He has written or co-written more hit songs than almost anyone in history, crafting singles for Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd.
His name has become shorthand for a certain style of meticulously engineered, hook-driven pop: It sounds like a Max Martin track.
