If you’re a music lover, it’s not enough that you know how a song goes. For the avid ones, sometimes it’s important to know who the producer is. Sometimes I can tell just by the arrangement. In case you have no idea who the greatest hitmakers of our time are, I’ll talk about some of them on this post.
Max Martin
What would pop music be without this Swedish producer? Since the bubblegum pop ear, Max Martin has been churning out hit after hit such as Britney’s “...Baby One More Time” and Katy Perry’s “Roar”. The producer also helped Taylor Swift with her album 1989 which garnered Best Album nods.

Ryan Tedder
Most music fans might know his as the frontman for One Republic but he is also a hotshot producer who worked with a variety of pop acts such as Beyonce, Adele, Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, and Taylor Swift. His band’s hits “Counting Stars” and “Apologize” also have that LSS-inducing melodies that are hard to shake off.
Quincy Jones
The man behind Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Quincy Jones is a legend with more than five decades in the industry, 79 Grammy nominations, and hundreds of hits under his belt. He also worked on the scores for over 30 films including E.T.. Even in this age of digital production, Quincy Jones proves that he’s still got the magic touch. The legend also shows us that talent is ageless.

Maybe someday I can be like these guys. For now, I need to continue producing music for theater productions in school. So far, so good.
