In just two years New Jersey singer Charlie Puth has racked up a series of hits that have helped him to cultivate a dedicated fan base. From Puth’s seductive collaboration with Meghan Trainor (“Marvin Gaye”) to his contribution to the somber ode to actor Paul Walker (“See You Again”) and his more recent single, a reflective duet with Selena Gomez about a couple who has gone their separate ways, the singer has provided a hit for every emotional state.
