Behind The Scenes Video Series
Writing & Producing a New Song Outside My Comfort Zone: My Full Process
In this video series, I share my complete process for becoming a better songwriting and producer. You'll watch me write and produce a brand new song from start to finish, challenging myself to do something that's way outside what I typically, comfortably do.
Intentionally writing "uncomfortable songs" is my favorite way of learning new things, breaking out of my patterns, and surprising myself with new ideas, so, in this series, I show you exactly how I do that.
Along the way, I share and explain everything that I'm doing and thinking in detail — every idea, decision, tool, and technique.
In the process, I'll be explaining my approach to the following topics:
- Finding Inspiration & Starting Songs
- Writing Lyrics & Pop Melodies
- Vocal Recording & Production
- Production Fundamentals
- Embellishing Pop Chord Progressions
- Arrangement, Layering & Composition
- Structuring the Perfect Pop Song
- Creative Sound Design & Ear Candy
- Manipulating Audio, MIDI, Analog Sounds
- Writing Synth, Bass, Guitar & Drum Parts
- Vocal Stacks, Harmonies & Doubles
- EQ, Reverb, Compression & More FX
- Sounds, Synths, Samples & Plugins
- Pocketing Vocals, Drums & Instruments
- Automation & Advanced Techniques
- Charlie Puth-isms & Pro Tips
- Experimentation & Musical Risk Taking
- Mixing, Polishing & Finishing Tracks
Most of the songs I release are "comfortable Charlie Puth songs". They sound like me. Yet, a lot of the songs I make at home for fun are much different. At home, I get to play, explore, and challenge myself to try new things.
If you're curious to see how I work at home, normally behind closed doors, this is the series for you. I've never shared my process so openly and vulnerably before, so I hope you enjoy and learn something from how I work!

I loved being able to get inside Charlie's head in his creative way of writing! I also loved learning the tips and tricks he shared of how to make successful music and keep your listeners engaged.
Charlie has great energy, it was fun to watch him work and it was super valuable to see his process, even though I don't make the same type of music. I learned a lot!
It was awesome to take a look at how someone else writes and produces music and challenge myself to look at my own process in a new and different way.
