We had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Hollander Zoom video!

Sam Hollander has spent thirty years trudging through the peaks and valleys of a songwriting career. Before he was stacking Billboard hits, he was piling up bad luck, calamitous flops, false starts, and feeling like the world was moving on and up without him while he spun in place. Now he wears his failures like a badge of honor.

In 21-Hit Wonder, he\u2019s collected anecdotes from his weird waltzes around the banquet of pop to help aspiring songwriters and other creatives learn about survival, endurance, scheming, hustle, and the importance of laughing even on the worst days of the journey. Music lovers spanning generations and genres will find stories about many of their heroes and industry icons. 21-Hit Wonder is one part chronicle of a songwriter\u2019s storied career and another part love letter to anyone who has been counted out\u2014from no-hit wonders and one-hit wonders to the novelties and the never-beens\u2014and just needs a bit of inspiration to persevere. Sam\u2019s inspiring story is proof that setbacks are just steps on the road to success.

As one of the most renowned multi-platinum selling songwriters and producers in the game, SAM HOLLANDER has written and produced for the likes of Panic! At The Disco, One Direction, Katy Perry, Weezer, Def Leppard, blink-182, Fitz and the Tantrums, Train, Ringo Starr, Carole King, Tyga, The O\u2019Jays, Gym Class Heroes, and many others.

To date, he has achieved 22 US Top 40 Hits, as well as 10 Number 1\u2019s, 10 top fives, and 87 Top 10 chart positions globally. His songs have been streamed over 5 billion times, and in 2019, he held the #1 position on the Billboard Rock Songwriters chart for nine weeks, a year-end record. Sam has also been chosen to be on Variety\u2019s Hitmakers list, as well as being named Rolling Stone\u2019s Hot List Producer of the Year in 2008.

Hollander\u2019s career has recently hit new heights from collaborations with Fitz and the Tantrums\u2019 multi-platinum worldwide hit, \u201cHandClap\u201d (one-billion-streams) and eight songs he co-penned on Panic!
