Biography of Jason Derulo

  • Singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor Jason Derulo is part of a a new breed of multi-hyphenate artists who know no boundaries. As the flagship artist for the joint venture between Warner Bros. Records and super-producer J.R. Rotem's label Beluga Heights, Derulo has set his sights high.
  • The Miami-born Derulo continues to rule the airwaves with his 3 smash hit singles, “Whatcha Say,” “In My Head,” plus “Ridin’ Solo,” off his self-titled debut album, Jason Derulo, the album that debuted at No. 4 on the Digital Albums chart & No. 11 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart in March, 2010.
  • With the triple-platinum debut single "Whatcha Say", & the platinum second single “In My Head,” the 20-year-old became the first male solo artist to score consecutive No. 1’s on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio chart in the chart’s seventeen-year-history with his first 2 entries. Derulo’s 3rd single “Ridin’ Solo,” went platinum in the U.S., while its video earned more than 32 million views on YouTube.
  • Derulo has sold more than 11 million singles & 750,000 albums worldwide.  He's the first male solo artist in history to have three singles hit the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
  • The album’s smash singles, which earned Derulo the most airplay of any artist across all radio formats in 2010, are just part of its appeal. An uncategorizable blend of pop, rock, electronic, and R&B elements, Jason Derulo showcases this exciting newcomer’s many talents.
  • Derulo wrote or co-wrote each track on the album, which was produced by Rotem, who has also worked with Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Rick Ross, and many others. “J.R. is a musician like myself, and has the ability to work within all different types of genres,” Derulo says. “We can literally do whatever we want in the studio and experiment, which is really important to me because I want to break down barriers and do things that have never done before.” The album features songwriting contributions from in-demand hit-makers Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You,” Britney Spears’ “Circus,” Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA”), Evan Bogart (Beyonce’s “Halo,” Rihanna’s “S.O.S.”), and Alex James (Adam Lambert’s “Sure Fire Winners,” Tata Young “My Bloody Valentine”).
  • That Derulo would aim high musically is not a surprise given his background. Born and bred in Miami, FL, Derulo composed his first song, a little ditty called "Crush On You," on the piano at age 8. "I was a huge Michael Jackson fan growing up,” he recalls. “I studied his videos and copied all his moves. I'd also practice singing Usher and Justin Timberlake songs while doing their moves." As a teen, Derulo moved to New York to attend the vaunted American Musical and Dramatic Academy and competed at the legendary Apollo Theater, winning the Apollo's 2006 season Grand Championship.
  • Derulo kept at his writing, and at age 17, he composed and sang the chorus to "Bossy” — a track on Southern rapper Baby's album Five*Stunna. From there, the floodgates opened and Derulo became a sought-after tunesmith, showing his range and versatility by crafting songs for hip-hop star Lil Wayne, R&B singer Cassie, and girl group Danity Kane to name a few. Around this time, J.R. Rotem’s brother Tommy was searching for artists to sign to Rotem’s new label, Beluga Heights, which had scored big with Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls.” Tommy contacted Derulo through his MySpace page and invited him out to Los Angeles to pen songs for Kingston’s second album.
  • Jason Derulo recently wrapped up his debut solo tour in the U.S. and he's working on his second album (due out in February 2011) and he's still on tour in Europe.
  •  In late January, he wrapped up a 6-week tour on the road with Lady Gaga on her sold-out “Monster Ball” tour of North America and made his feature film debut in MTV Films’ Turn the Beat Around in February. He has performed on American Idol, Jay Leno's Tonight Show, The View, Lopez Tonight,  America’s Got Talent, Dancing With the Stars, Live with Regis and Kelly, as well asThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, while his videos have racked up more than 245 million collective views on YouTube, making Derulo the channel’s 20th Most Viewed Musician of all time.
  • In August, Derulo won a 2010 Teen Choice Award for “Choice Music: Album, R&B.” He has also nominated for two 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, for “Best Male Video” and “Best New Artist” for “Ridin’ Solo.” Having completed a Canadian tour with Black Eyed Peas, Derulo hits the road for his first-ever headlining U.S. tour beginning September 27th.
  • "I don't feel like I'm competing with other artists," he says. "I'm just going to try and be the best I can be. And when I get to that level, well, I'll figure out a way to get better."
