About Charlie Puth

We've seen Charlie Puth in many different lights. We met him as a kid in his early twenties seated behind a piano in videos, in the studio, or at awards ceremonies during the NINE TRACK MIND-era. We've watched him as a young man in the spotlight, getting "ATTENTION" from every angle. Today, we know him as a proven career artist and now-married man with a decade-plus of music in the rearview and a lifetime ahead of him. Over the past few years, you didn't have to look far to hear or see Charlie. Beyond picking up three Billboard Music Awards and an E! People's Choice Award, he has garnered five GRAMMY® Award nominations, two American Music Awards nominations, and a Golden Globe® Award nomination. He scored three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 with the 2x-Platinum Nine Track Mind [2016], Platinum-certified Voicenotes [2018], and Charlie [2022]. The latter incited widespread acclaim as Rolling Stone raved, "the man with the perfect pitch proves he's got the perfect formula for a great pop record too," and The Line of Best Fit christened it "his most authentic work to date." He also tallied tens of billions of streams and gathered dozens of Multiplatinum, Platinum, and Gold certifications around the globe, ranging from the Diamond-Certified Hot 100 #1 "See You Again" [with Wiz Khalifa] and 6x-Platinum "ATTENTION" to the 5x-Platimum "We Don't Talk Anymore" [feat. Selena Gomez] and 4x-Platinum "Marvin Gaye" [feat. Meghan Trainor]. Not to mention, he emerged as the rare phenomenon equally suited to collaborate with either James Taylor and Sir Elton John or Sabrina Carpenter and Boyz II Men. Selling out tours across continents, he appeared on late-night television shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonand Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! The Diamond-certified multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist magnifies shines a light on who he is with his fourth full-length LP, Whatever's Clever [Atlantic Records]. Across the album, he magnifies his thoughts, feelings, experiences, and dreams like never before on, incorporating old school analog keys, experimenting with recording techniques, and working closely with co-producer BloodPop®. It's the sound of an artist and a man coming into his own with charm, charisma, and confidence. That's Whatever's Clever.
