Summary
Professor Puth–aka multi-award winning/genius singer, songwriter, musician & producer Charlie Puth–brings his keyboard & legendary musical talent to the pod to chat with Kyle about his musical origins & the power of 12 notes, his creative process & how a sound becomes a song, what it’s like collaborating with Jeff Goldblum, Charlie’s upcoming initiation into fatherhood, why he pushes the envelope as an artist, and those hilarious Overcompensating shoutouts. After getting the deets on Charlie’s new album, Whatever’s Clever!, and upcoming tour, Kyle & Charlie compose themselves for a highkey/on-key game called In the Booth with Mr. Puth that’s full of improv, singing & some masterful impersonations - mic drop.
