In 1993, Martin was hired by [[Cheiron Studios]] and spent some time learning the basics, before the first production collaboration between PoP and Martin: the [[Rednex]] song "[[Wish You Were Here (Rednex song)|Wish You Were Here]]" in 1994. When Martin produced the intro to [[E-Type (musician)|E-Type]]s song "[[This Is the Way (E-Type song)|This Is the Way]]" E-Type and PoP credited it to the made up producer alias "Max Martin", thus inventing his artist name. Martin was informed after-the-fact, when the printed records came back.<ref>{{cite web

In 1995, Cheiron Studios was hired by [[Zomba Label Group|Zomba]] to work on Backstreet Boys' self-titled debut album ''[[Backstreet Boys (1996 album)|Backstreet Boys]]'' (1996). [[Zomba Label Group|Zomba]] became the main working partner since the success in 1995. Martin took part in the production of "[[Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)]]" (1996), co-written with [[Herbie Crichlow]], a single which quickly went [[Platinum single|platinum]] and climbed to No.&nbsp;2 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], as well as the singles "[[As Long as You Love Me (Backstreet Boys song)|As Long As You Love Me]]" (1997) and "[[Everybody (Backstreet's Back)]]" (1997). The album was not released in the U.S. until 1997, but was released overseas and caught on all across Europe, eventually selling around 8&nbsp;million copies worldwide. This led to the Backstreet Boys being relaunched in their home country later on, this time more successfully.<ref>As of late May 2016, Martin was not known to have possessed any knowledge of the illegal activities of [[Lou Pearlman]], who then managed the Backstreet Boys.</ref> Later that year, Martin co-wrote and co-produced [[Robyn]]'s hits "[[Show Me Love (Robyn song)|Show Me Love]]" and "[[Do You Know (What It Takes)]]" which ended up on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 top 10.<ref name=Ostroff/>

In 1998, [[Cheiron Productions]] worked on albums by [[Five (band)|Five]] and [[Jessica Folcker]]. Jessica Folcker had first been hired as a backing singer for tracks with Ace of Base and [[Dr. Alban]], and her debut album ''Jessica'' became an instant hit with singles like "Tell Me What You Like" and "How Will I Know Who You Are" which both sold [[Platinum record|platinum]]. After Denniz PoP died of cancer that same summer, Martin took over as director of Cheiron Studios. He soon started working with writer/producer [[Rami Yacoub]], who continued to be his partner for many years. Martin also wrote two songs with [[Bryan Adams]] during this time, "Cloud Number Nine" and "Before The Night Is Over".

In late 1999, [[Celine Dion]] released "[[That's the Way It Is (Celine Dion song)|That's the Way It Is]]", a song co-written by Max Martin to promote her [[greatest hits]] album ''[[All the Way... A Decade of Song]].'' The song became a hit, going to number 1 on the adult contemporary charts in the United States and Canada, and reaching top 10 all over the world. Since the song was released in November 1999, it has cycled 500,000 times on almost 1400 radio stations across Canada and the U.S.
In 2003 Martin co-wrote and produced three songs for Dion's album ''[[One Heart]].'' One of them, called "[[Faith (Celine Dion song)|Faith]]", was released in 2003 as a promotional single in Canada and reached number 4 on the Quebec Airplay Chart and number 37 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary Chart.

Martin, Andreas Carlsson, and Rami Yacoub wrote [[Westlife]]'s song "I Need You" for the first Westlife album ''[[Westlife (album)|Westlife]]'' (1999). Martin, Nick Jarl, Steve Mac, and Patric Jonsson wrote Westlife's song "[[You Make Me Feel (Westlife song)|You Make Me Feel]]" for their second album ''[[Coast to Coast (Westlife album)|Coast to Coast]]'' (2000). Max Martin, [[Rami Yacoub]], and Andreas Carlsson also wrote one of Westlife's hits, "[[When You're Looking Like That]]", for their second album ''[[Coast to Coast (Westlife album)|Coast to Coast]]'' (2000).
