ABOUT JASON DERULO<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward-thinking, genre-defying, and massively creative, Jason Derulo has staked his claim as one of the most dynamic forces on the global pop landscape. Since breaking through with his five-times-platinum single \u201cWhatcha Say\u201d and selling more than 200 million records worldwide, the award-winning singer\/songwriter has turned out an unstoppable run of immediately iconic hits and collaborated with many of music\u2019s greatest trailblazers, not to mention all-time legends like Stevie Wonder. His latest triumphs include emerging as one of TikTok\u2019s most influential users, boasting the 11th overall biggest account on the video-sharing platform and the 4th<\/sup> most followed male. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having signed to Atlantic Records in early 2021, Derulo is now embarking on a bold new era in his ever-evolving artistry. Now at work on his highly anticipated fifth album\u2014and first full-length since 2015\u2019s chart-topping Everything Is 4\u2014Derulo has delivered a series of smash singles while operating as an independent artist. Those songs include \u201cLifestyle\u201d feat. Adam Levine and the double-platinum \u201cSavage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)\u201d\u2014a collaboration with New Zealand-based producer Jawsh 685 that hit No. 1 on Top 40 radio, with its official BTS remix reaching the top slot on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100. Most recently, Derulo and SHOUSE, an Australian-New Zealand electronic music duo, released a new dance anthem \u201cNever Let You Go.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A truly multidimensional creator, Derulo has also established himself as an actor and businessman, investing in enterprises like Catch L.A. and Rumble Boxing and becoming part-owner of Bedlam Vodka (a grain-to-glass vodka brand distilled in North Carolina). His most recent ventures include acquiring a significant ownership stake in Organic Treo, a plant-based organic birch water company, as well as partnering with Z2 Comics to create a graphic novel \u201cUzo\u201d \u2014a project based on a superhero he first introduced on TikTok. Early next year, Derulo will also be launching his new BBC Three music show, Project Icon. The six-part music competition, created by Derulo and his manager in collaboration with MultiStory Media and ITV America, will feature Derulo, The Voice\u2019s Becky Hill, and Derulo\u2019s long-term manager, Frank Haris, as mentors, as well as BBC Radio 1 presenter Jordan North as the host.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
