Jason Derulo Biography

The American singer and dancer known as Jason Derulo was born Jason Joel Desrouleaux in 1989 in Miramar, Florida. Jason began singing when he was a young child, and his interests and talents were encouraged at the performing arts school he attended as a teenager. By the mid 2000’s, Derulo was writing songs for a number of high-profile artists, including Lil Wayne, Sean Kingston, and Diddy.

In 2006, Jason won the reality competition series Showtime at the Apollo. His success on the show led to a record deal with Warner Bros. Records, and he immediately went to work with producer J.R. Rotem to prepare his debut single, “Whatcha Say.” The song rose to the number one spot in the fall of 2009 and set the stage for Derulo’s self-titled debut album, released in 2010. Jason Derulo featured not only the song “Whatcha Say,” but also the additional top ten hits “In My Head” and “Ridin’ Solo.”

Since that time, Jason Derulo has released the additional albums: Future History (2011), Tattoos (2013), Talk Dirty (2014), and Everything Is 4 (2015.) The albums have given audiences the additional top forty hits: “What If,” “The Sky’s the Limit,” “Don’t Wanna Go Home,” “It Girl,” “Breathing,” “Fight for You,” “The Other Side,” “Talk Dirty,” “Marry Me,” “Trumpets,” “Wiggle,” “Want to Want Me,” and “Try Me.” Derulo has also contributed vocals to tracks for a number of other artists, including Hardwell (“Follow Me”); Little Mix (“Secret Love Song”); and Flo Rida (“Hello Friday.”)

Jason Derulo has so far been recognized with dozens of industry award nominations, including multiple Teen Choice Awards for Breakout Male Artist, Choice R&B Track, and Choice R&B Album; and American Music Award for New Artist of the Year; and an NAACP Award for Outstanding New Artist. Derulo most recently released his first greatest hits album. The album, titled Platinum Hits, arrived in 2016 and features one new song – “ Kiss the Sky.”
