After graduating, the singer enrolled at Berklee College for Music by which time Puth had begun generating significant online attention for his videos. In October 2011 Puth’s national profile was raised to new levels with an announcement from Ellen DeGeneres that she had signed the singer and duet partner Emily Luther to her label. DeGeneres had heard the pair’s cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You”, which the duo later played on the show, as well as Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” and the self-penned “Break Again”.

Despite the exposure afforded Puth, the singer departed DeGeneres’ eleveneleven Records in 2013 and singed with Atlantic. Prior to the arrangement with Atlantic, Puth had recorded and self-released a pair of albums, “The Otto Tunes” (2010) and “Ego” 2013, however the records are only available through online music streaming services. In February 2015, Puth released his official debut single “Marvin Gaye, featuring guest vocals from pop singer Meghan Trainor. Rising to No. 61 on the Billboard 200 and topping the charts in New Zealand, the single proved an internationally popular release and introduced the singer to a worldwide market.

Puth enjoyed his greatest success to date however contributing to the Wiz Khalifa single “See You Again”, which topped the singles chart in the U.S., the UK, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Sweden as well as a host of other countries. The single was taken from the “Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” in light of the recent death of actor Paul Walker and earned platinum certification in a number of countries. Later in 2015 the singer issued his debut EP “Some Type of Love”, which peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Heatseekers Chart in May. Following the release Puth issued the single, “Nothing But Trouble”, featuring rapper Lil Wayne, which appeared on the soundtrack to the documentary “808: The Movie” in June 2015.
