Life and career

Sandberg was born and grew up in Stenhamra, Ekerö Municipality, Stockholm County. His mother was a middle school coach and his father was a police officer. Martin, a child of Sweden's public music-education system, once said he had "public music education to thank for everything."

He performed in a variety of bands as an adult before joining It's Alive in 1985 as their drummer and frontman. It's Alive was started by ex-Lazy members Per Per Aldeheim and Kim Björkgren on guitars, as well as John Rosth, who had been a member of Lineout. Martin White was forced to leave high school to pursue a life in music with his band. It's Alive, a national talent competition, was a resident of a nightclub in Cyprus in 1988. As Megarock Records' Dave Constable said, the band had a breakthrough in 1991, when they were pushed to make a demo record. The Metal Forces magazine first released 1,000 copies and later gave it away as a free cover tape in the United Kingdom.

The decision to focus on a music career paid off, as they signed a BMG affiliate Denniz PoP's label Cheiron Records, which is a BMG affiliate. They released three singles on conjunction with the album and toured through Europe in 1994, with Kingdom Come. Despite being distributed in up to 30 countries, Earthquake Visions eventually sold a disappointing 30,000 copies. Martin is now collaborating on songs with PoP, but it's more significant. PoP renamed his new protégé Max Martin, who later became Martin's mentor, acknowledging his natural knack for writing pop songs in the young rocker.

Martin was recruited by Cheiron Studios in 1993 and spent some time learning the basics before beginning to work together with PoP and Martin in 1994: the Rednex song "Wish You Were Here." They were both on Ace of Base's second album, The Bridge (1995), shortly after, as well as on CDs from 3T, Army of Lovers, and Leila K. Anders Hansson replaced Martin after he left his band It's Alive in late 1995.

Backstreet Boys' self-titled debut album Backstreet Boys (1995) was recruited by Zomba in 1995. Since the 1995 triumph, Zomba has been the main working partner. Martin was instrumental in the creation of "Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)" (1996), co-written with Herbie Crichlow, a single that quickly rose to No. 1 and climbed to No. 1). The Billboard Hot 100 features two people, as well as the singles "As Long As You Love Me" (1997) and "Everybody" (1998). The album was not released in the United States until 1997, but it was soon exported and sold all around Europe, with some selling around 8 million copies worldwide. The Backstreet Boys were relaunched in their home country later this year, this time more successfully. Martin co-wrote and co-produced Robyn's hits "Show Me Love" and "Do You Know (What It Takes), which debuted on Billboard Hot 100's top ten hits later this year, and has remained at number ten.

Cheiron Productions appeared on albums by Five and Jessica Folcker in 1998. Jessica Folcker was hired as a back-up singer on tracks with Ace of Base and Dr. Alban, and her debut album Jessica was a big hit with singles like "Tell Me What You Like" and "How Will I Know Who You Are," which both sold platinum. After Denniz PoP's death from cancer the same summer, Martin took over as director of Cheiron Studios. Rami Yacoub, a writer/producer who continued to be his partner for many years, rejoined him soon. During this period, Martin also wrote two songs with Bryan Adams, "Cloud Number Nine" and "Before The Night Is Over."

Celine Dion wrote "That's the Way It Is" in late 1999, a Celine Dion song co-written by Max Martin to promote her greatest hits album All the Way... A Decade of Song.

One of them, called "Faith," was released in 2003 as a promotional single in Canada and debuted at number 4 on the Quebec Airplay Chart and number 37 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary Chart.

"I Need You" by Martin, Andreas Carlsson, and Rami Yacoub was the first Westlife song "Westlife" (1999).

Lisa Miskovsky wrote the lyrics for the Backstreet Boys' hit single "Shape of My Heart," which will be released on Stockholm Records in 2001. When Miskovsky decided that it did not suit her style, Miskovsky's own album was passed on to the Backstreet Boys by Max Martin. The song became the first single from the band's fourth album Black & Blue (2000). "Shape of My Heart" soared to the top five in Sweden, Norway, Canada, Germany, and other 15 countries in the first week of publication. Black & Blue, which featured several songs created and written by Martin, sold 1.6 million units in its first week in America.

Martin appeared on the Never Gone songs "Climbing the Walls," "Just Want You to Know," "Siberia," and "I Still..." With a little R&B, Martin wanted the album to be more of a modern, alternative pop album.
