Charlieonnafriday started making songs like most young artists today, in his room with his friends.
But now that his hobby has turned into a career, Z100's JingleBall is the perfect time to take a minute to appreciate how far he's come.
Charlie tells Shelley Rome at the Mercedes-Benz Interview Lounge that the past year or so has been a dream come true.
"It's been awesome," he says. "It's something I've always dreamed of. It just went from me and my friends making songs in my room and now we're here. We've got a lot more work to do, and I'm excited."
Charlie added that he's determined to keep doing "cool stuff" and start previewing some more new music early next year.
