CHARLIE PUTHI came out to L.A. to be a songwriter and not an artist, and I’m so excited because I always secretly wanted to be an artist.
CHARLIE PUTHOne of my goals is to find an unsigned YouTube artist and feature them on my album. That’s what I wished someone would’ve done for me.
CHARLIE PUTHWhen Marvin Gaye made his music, he evoked this feeling that would reach everybody.
CHARLIE PUTHI was carrying my friend in his casket to put him in the hearse, and I was thinking, ‘I need to write a song for this guy, because he always told me I would have a No. 1 song.’
CHARLIE PUTHWhen I get high anxiety, I vomit. My mom was so stressed out. Then I found out I was staying in John Mayer’s old dorm room, and I had a nice roommate. That completely brought me down. I was completely comfortable at Berklee.
CHARLIE PUTHI was raised in a Catholic school, and I would always go to church on Sunday, and I would hear the same music over and over and over and over again, same gospels, hymns, everything.
CHARLIE PUTHI started piano when I was four. My mom taught me. And then I went to Manhattan School of Music during high school, like every Saturday. And then I went to Berklee for college, in Boston.
CHARLIE PUTHI actually get a lot of messages with people saying, ‘What’s a Marvin Gaye?’ and, I mean… Oh, wow. I must be getting old, because someone who was born in 2004 just asked me what a Marvin Gaye was.
CHARLIE PUTHI was bit by a dog when I was two years old, and it almost mauled my face. It almost killed and/or blinded me. I was this close to dying at two, which is terrible. I survived it, and there was no head trauma or anything like that. Honestly, it was a miracle.
CHARLIE PUTHI’m a homebody times ten.
CHARLIE PUTHThe scar on my eye is a result of the doctor’s sewing up my face. It was 450 stitches and plastic surgery.
CHARLIE PUTHThe fact that people are actually shaving their eyebrows is very flattering. But it’s crazy that people are singing songs I wrote in my bedroom.
CHARLIE PUTHI’m down to act a little bit – go on a couple auditions or make one of those three-second cameos with one line.
CHARLIE PUTHI would be a giraffe because I just want to experience what a sore throat and being a giraffe feels like. It would be really uncomfortable walking around in the Sahara and being like, ‘I really need, like, 15 lozenges for my giraffe body.’
CHARLIE PUTHI listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Motown records.
CHARLIE PUTHI’m always inspired by people who have really cool Twitter profiles.
