began teaching him the piano at age 4.[11] He started studying jazz at age 10[11] and
participated in a summer youth jazz ensemble at Count Basie Theatre's Cool School[5] in Red
Bank, New Jersey at 12.[12] He was hired by The Count Basie Theatre to play in a Charlie
Brown production.[5] In grade six, he went door to door selling a Christmas album called
Have a Merry Charlie Christmas that he had recorded and produced, making $600 in
sales.[11][13]

He attended the Holy Cross School, Rumson, and Forrestdale Middle School,[10] before
graduating from the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in 2010.[14] During his
seventh grade to senior years, he attended Manhattan School of Music Pre-College[15] as a
jazz piano major and a classical studies minor.[10][16] Puth graduated in 2013 from the Berklee
College of Music, where he majored in music production and engineering.[17]
