Brian Howes: The "Swedish Math" Behind Hit Songs
<p>Brian Howes is a Canadian producer, songwriter, and former recording artist known for crafting commercially successful rock and pop records with a strong emphasis on melody, structure, and radio appeal. After beginning his career as a frontman in bands like DDT and Closure, he transitioned into production and quickly made a name for himself with breakthrough projects such as Hinder’s Extreme Behavior and Hedley’s self-titled debut. His work is characterized by hook-driven songwriting, polished arrangements, and a seamless blend of rock energy with pop sensibility.</p><p>Over the course of his career, Howes has collaborated with a wide range of major artists, including Skillet, Daughtry, Nickelback, Simple Plan, and Boys Like Girls, earning multiple JUNO Awards for Producer of the Year along with Grammy and Dove Award recognition. Based in Vancouver, he operates largely from his own studio, where he combines songwriting and production into a single, integrated process. Known for his analytical approach to hit-making—often described as studying the “math of songwriting”—Howes continues to be a sought-after collaborator for artists aiming to achieve a polished, radio-ready sound.</p><p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:</strong></p><ul><li>How “Swedish math" is responsible for shaping hit songs</li><li>The three-hook chorus structure Brian uses on radio records</li><li>Why melody should drive the arrangement, not the other way around</li><li>How to map tempo and BPM to vocal cadence</li><li>The most common songwriting mistakes producers need to fix</li><li>Knowing when to get out of the way</li><li>How Brian approaches pre-production with bands who are married to their demos</li><li>Why Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel” broke all the rules and still became a massive hit</li><li>Making the switch from being an artist to producer</li><li>How to give "punk rock energy" in soccer-mom music</li><li>Working on Airbourne's new record</li></ul><br/><p>To learn more about Brian Howes, visit: <u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Howes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Howes</a></u></p><p><strong><u>Looking for 1-on-1 feedback and training to help you create pro-quality mixes?</u></strong></p><p>Check out my coaching program Amplitude and apply to join:</p><p><a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/amplitude">https://masteryourmix.com/amplitude/</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><u>Want additional help with your music productions?</u></strong></p><p>For tips on how to improve your mixes, visit: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/mym">https://masteryourmix.com/</a></p><p>Download your FREE copy of the Ultimate Mixing Blueprint: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/blueprint">https://masteryourmix.com/blueprint/</a></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Get your copy of my Amazon #1 bestselling books:</u></strong></p><ul><li>The Recording Mindset: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Pro Recordings From Your Home Studio: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/recordingmindset">https://therecordingmindset.com</a></li><li>The Mixing Mindset: The Step-By-Step Formula For Creating Professional Rock Mixes From Your Home Studio: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/mixingmindset">https://masteryourmix.com/mixingmindsetbook/</a></li></ul><br/><p></p><p><strong><u>Check out our Sponsors:</u></strong></p><p>Download Waves Plugins here: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/waves">https://waves.alzt.net/EK3G2K</a></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Subscribe to the show:</u></strong></p><ul><li>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/applepodcasts">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/master-your-mix-podcast/id1240842781</a></li><li>Spotify:<strong> </strong><a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/spotifypodcast">https://open.spotify.com/show/5V4xtrWSnpA5e9L67QcJej</a></li><li>Youtube: <a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/youtube">http://www.youtube.com/@MasterYourMix</a></li></ul><br/><p></p><p><strong><u>Have questions you’d like answered on the show?</u></strong></p><p>Send them to <a href="mailto:questions@masteryourmix.com?subject=MYM%20Podcast%20Question" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">questions@masteryourmix.com</a></p><p></p><p><strong><u>Please leave a rating and review:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://masteryourmixpodcast.captivate.fm/review">https://masteryourmix.com/review/</a></p><p></p><p>Thanks for listening!</p>
