Charlie Puth's upcoming album Voice Notes is a departure from his previous music because, he says, he finally feels comfortable enough to shed his pop past and pursue music that he has always wanted to make.

"See You Again" by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa was the best-selling song of 2015. And it hasn't gone away. Up until recently, "See You Again" was the most-viewed YouTube video of all time, recently beaten by Louis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito."

But before the fame and before the awards, Puth was just a regular kid, making videos on a YouTube channel by the name Charlie's Vlogs. Puth talks about his road to fame with q host Tom Power.
