    Charlie Puth: 16 Facts About The 'One Call Away' Singer You NEED To Know

    The 'See You Again' star was one of the breakout acts of 2015, and with his debut album just around the corner, here is EVERYTHING you need to know about Mr Puth.

    1. Charlie Puth

      1. Where was Charlie Puth born?

      Charlie was born in Rumson, New Jersey in 1991 - we guess that's where he picked up this epic Big Bird costume, too. (Pic: Instagram)

    2. Celebrity Birthdays (Saggitarius)

      2. What is Charlie Puth's birthday?

      Charlie's birthday is on 2nd December, making him a Sagittarius. (Picture: Getty)

    3. Charlie Puth Red Carpet Jingle Bell Ball 2015

      3. What happened to Charlie Puth's eyebrow?

      Charlie's distinctive eyebrow is caused by a scar he received when he was attacked by a dog aged just 2-years-old. The attack was so serious that he almost died, which is why Charlie's been known to get defensive when people just think he's shaving it to be "cool". His fans have been known to shave their eyebrows, too. (Picture: PA Photos)

    4. Charlie Puth

      4. Does he have any nicknames?

      In an interview with Billboard, Charlie revealed that the best nickname he's ever been given was Chunky Spunky Monkey Poofington. Which is pretty epic as far as nicknames go! (Pic: Instagram)

    5. Charlie Puth Live Session

      5. How did Charlie get in to music?

      Charlie Puth has always been musically gifted and hella smart. He graduated from Berklee College Of Music on a full scholarship. That's a big deal when the school's alumni have already bagged over 200 Grammy Awards between them! (Picture: PA Photos)

    6. Charlie Puth

      6. How was Charlie Puth discovered?

      Back in 2009, Charlie set up his 'CharliesVlogs' YouTube Channel, where he uploaded videos of him covering hit songs as well as vlogging his day-to-day life. (Pic: YouTube)

    7. Charlie Puth

      7. Okay so he was a YouTuber, but when did he make it BIG?

      We've got Ellen DeGeneres to thank for that! When she saw Charlie's cover of Adele's 'Someone Like You', she HAD to have him on the show. In fact, when she first called him, he thought it was a prank and hung up on her... three times! Luckily her team eventually got through to him and, after a successful performance on the show, he was signed to her eleveneleven record label. (Pic: EllenTube)

    8. Charlie Puth Live Session

      8. So he can sing... but is he pitch perfect?

      He is! In fact, if you tap anything that makes a noise, Charlie can tell you what pitch it is AND replicate the note. What a talent! Picture: PA

    9. Jason Derulo at the Jingle Bell Ball 2015

      9. Ok, so he can sing, write AND he's pitch perfect... what ELSE can he do?

      He's actually a pretty good music PRODUCER, too! He actually produced Jason Derulo's collaboration with Stevie Wonder and Keith Urban, 'Broke', on Jason's 'Everything Is 4' album. Talk about music royalty! (Picture: PA)

    10. Charlie Puth & Wiz Khalifa

      10. How did he get to work with Wiz Khalifa?

      It's no question that 'See You Again' was one of the biggest tracks of 2015, and we've got Charlie to thank for that - it was his idea to get Wiz Khalifa to rap on the Paul Walker tribute track. Charlie became so emotionally attached to the song when writing it, taking inspiration from his friend who died in a car accident. (Picture: Nicholas Hunt/Getty Images)

    11. Charlie Puth & Josh Hutcherson

      11. He DOES look a little familiar... Why is that?

      Charlie's been told SEVERAL times that he bears a striking resemblance to The Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson... and you know what? We totally see it! “I’ve been hearing that since 2011. I’m very flattered. He’s a cool dude." (Pictures: Getty)

    12. Charlie Puth and Meghan American Music Awards 2015

      12. So what's going on with him and Meghan Trainor?

      The duo collaborated on the hit song 'Marvin Gaye' and are good friends. Yep, despite THAT kiss they're just friends. Got it? (Picture: PA)

    13. Charlie Puth

      13. Okay, what about Selena Gomez?

      Just friends. (Pic: Instagram)

    14. Charlie Puth

      15. What's his guilty pleasure?
