Stephen Puth spent his entire life playing music, making it seem like the obvious career for him… in reflection.
“I didn’t realize I wanted to do music until I was 22, but it had been there all along,” he admitted to Celebuzz! in an exclusive interview.
He and his siblings were made to play piano growing up thanks to their mother, a music teacher. Now his brother is well known as pop star Charlie Puth and twin sister Mikaela, who now manages both brothers’ careers — music, Stephen jokes, is a “family affair” at this point.
“Music, when I first started, was something every day — that was what I had to do. It was like a chore. Then it was an outlet, a way to relax,” Stephen explained. “By the time I had the whole job idea set up, I realized that music was really the thing all along, that it should have been my work. I’m glad it is now.”
