If you were ever wondering what happens 60 seconds before showtime
Last month, I joined @moises.ai as their Chief Music Officer. We kicked things off by inviting all of you to remix and cover my single Beat Yourself Up. The creativity and talent I saw from the thousands of entries truly blew me away. Picking just two winners was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do ��But I’m excited to announce the winners today and can’t wait to meet them at Madison Square Garden on May 29. A huge thank you to everyone who participated
Making of Sideways @cocojones
The making of “New Jersey” with my friend @ravynlenae
I love my job.
What makes Charlie's captions work
The pattern
The pattern across Charlie's feed: songwriter-coded captions — fragments of lyrics, eras, drop dates, low-stakes announcements. lowercase tendencies, occasional ALL CAPS for hype. The shorter captions tend to out-engage the longer ones; the photos do most of the work and the caption is the closing line, not the explanation.
When this voice works
This voice works for posts where the visual carries the message and the caption is the receipt — fits, candids, project announcements. It does not work on every photo: pair the Charlie-style line with content that earns it.
One specific observation
Charlie Puth has trained an audience to read into the silence. The captions are short on purpose — engagement comes from what's left out, not what's said.
