Jason Derulo

Jason Derulo, born Jason Joel Desrouleaux on September 21, 1989, in Miramar, Florida, to Haitian parents, began dancing and singing as a young child, inspired by Michael Jackson and MC Hammer. He wrote his first song at age eight and was spending time in recording studios by 13. His early songwriting talent brought him collaborations with Lil Wayne, Diddy, and Birdman. He later studied musical theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Manhattan and won the Apollo Theater's Grand Championship at 17. His solo breakthrough came in 2009 with the debut single "Whatcha Say" (5× Platinum, No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100), released via Beluga Heights/Atlantic/Warner. Since then, he has sold over 250 million singles worldwide and achieved 14 platinum singles, including "Talk Dirty" (feat. 2 Chainz), "Wiggle", "Want to Want Me", "In My Head", and "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)". His sound blends R&B, pop, and EDM into dancefloor-ready anthems. With over 113 million followers across social media, he ranks among the most influential entertainers of his generation.
