Max Martin -the master of misic

The Producer of the Year award didn't get any air time during the Grammys' televised broadcast, but it was arguably the most important of the night. On Sunday, it was the award that said the most about the state of pop. It revealed that one man is behind our music's dominant sound: Swedish pop savant Max Martin who worked on top 10 hits with Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on "Bang Bang", on "Break Free" by Ariana Grande featuring Zedd, on "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J, on "Problem" by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea and on "Shake It Off " and "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift. Martin produced and co-wrote seven of the 13 tracks on Taylor Swift's 1989, 10 of the 13 tracks on Katy Perry's Prism and all of the biggest hits off Ariana Grande's My Everything (including "Problem" and "Love Me Harder"). He co-wrote Jennifer Lopez's comeback earworm "First Love," Shakira's World Cup anthem "Dare (La La La)" and Pitbull's "Wild Wild Love," the lead single off his Globalization album.
