Who is Max Martin?

Back - Index - Submissions - - What is RSS? Date: Jun 22, 2099 Source: Entertainment Weekly "The It List" Submitted By: Suzanne Caldwell AGE:28 WHY HIM? With more hooks in him than a tackle box, this Stockholm-based songwriter-producer could write you a top 10 smash. Too bad he's so busy churning out hopelessly hummable hits for the Backstreet Boys ("I Want It That Way" and "As Long as You Love Me"), 'N Sync ("Tearin' Up My Heart"), and Britney Spears ("...Baby One More Time") instead. WORK HABITS: "I have this little Dictaphone with me everywhere I go, and that's how I write. I don't even touch the instruments until the song is done." WORST JOB: "I used to be in a heavy metal band called It's Alive. Pretty much my whole teen period was spent in a cellar somewhere playing with long-haired dudes like myself." UNLIKELY SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: Sweden's most famous pop export. "I've rediscovered ABBA. They used to be the (silly) thing that you did in front of the mirror. But lately I've discovered the songs. They're incredible." NEXT: Remixing Spears' upcoming single, "(You Drive Me) Crazy," and replenshing his musical coffers. "I'm actually in a writing period now," he says. "Because I don't have many songs left." Comment on this item. Recent Comments Submitted by: johnansog http://imrdsoacha.gov.co/silvitra-120mg-qrms Comment on this item.
