About Jason Derulo
Jason Derulo may be recognizable worldwide as a multi-platinum singer and songwriter, visionary entrepreneur, best-selling author, committed philanthropist, and engaging presence, but his story starts unassumingly. The self-described, “Kid from a Haitian family in Miami,” has quietly and consistently grinded to emerge as one of his generation’s most prolific stars. Generating tens of billions of streams and reaching a $100 million net worth, his global sales exceed 250 million singles with dozens of multi-platinum and platinum certifications for smashes such as “Wiggle” [feat. Snoop Dogg], “Take You Dancing,” “Talk Dirty” [feat. 2 Chainz], “Whatcha Say,” and more. Derulo has three songs streamed over 1 billion times each under his belt, namely “Swalla” [feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign], “Want To Want Me,” and “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” [with Jawsh 685]. The latter even claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to topping charts in 16 countries. He’s the rare force of nature equally at home in a duet with BTS or Luke Bryan. With nearly 200 million followers across platforms, he notably remains the “4th most-followed male on TikTok and 11th biggest account overall.” He’s appeared in various films and television series, including Spinning Gold and Empire. His portfolio encompasses ownership stakes in Rocket Car Wash, Pro Volleyball Federation, and the Omaha Supernovas. Plus, he penned the bestselling book Sing Your Name Out Loud: 15 Rules for Living Your Dream and created the UZO graphic novel in collaboration with Z2 Comics. Once again, he tells a story you’ve never heard on his fifth full-length offering and Atlantic Records debut, Nu King, beginning with “Spicy Margarita” [with Michael Bublé].
