WHO IS JASON DERULO?

• Jason Joel Desrouleaux (born on September
21 1989), better known by his stage name
Jason Derulo, is an American singer,

2009, Derulo has sold over 30 million singles

 PERSONAL PREFERENCE
• Despite his recent appearance in the music industry, Jason
Derulo has achieved admirable fame and that makes him
one of the most appreciated American pop singers.
• Therefore, I came easily in touch with his music when I was
8 years old. The first song from him that I liked is entitled
"Stupid Love" which shows an intriguing story about a
crazy, extreme love. This song is also my favourite up to
this date.

 EARLY LIFE
• Derulo was born in Miramar, Florida, the son of
Haitian parents.
• He started singing at a young age. He attended
performing arts schools in Florida and made
some early attempts at music composition,
writing his first song at the age of eight.
• His writing skills began attracting attention when
he was a teenager. He also wrote "Bossy" for
Birdman, a New Orleans-based rapper, and made
a guest appearance on the song, highlighting his
ability as a vocalist.

• Derulo has been writing songs for artists
including Diddy, Danity Kane, Donnie Klang,
Sean Kingston, Cassie, and Lil Wayne since he
was young, also intending on becoming a solo

ARTISTIC CAREER

schools, such as The American
Musical and Dramatic Academy, and

Derulo was discovered by music
producer J.R. Rotem, who signed
him to his record label Beluga
Heights Records and Warner Bros.
Records.
 ARTISTIC CAREER

• In a HitQuarters interview, Rotem highlighted Derulo's dedication to his art by

saying, "Jason Derulo has one of the most impressive work ethics I've ever come
across – he just keeps knocking out songs in the studio."
• At the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, Derulo announced that his next studio album
would be titled 777. The album was later renamed 2Sides. Derulo explains the
reason why he changed the album's name, saying:
• "777 was a stage in my life and it has taken a long time to do this album but this
name, 2Sides, is more poignant to where I think I am now in my life and what I
think the album exudes - the light and the dark side of who I am."
