Jason Derulo, born Jason Joel Desrouleaux, is best known as a singer, songwriter R&B pop artist. The American artist is also a very well versed hip-hop dancer.
Born in Miami, Florida on 21 September 1989, Derulo started his music career first writing music. He was able to write music for some of hip-hop’s largest starts like Lil Wayne, Diddy, Danity Kane, and Sean Kingston. By 2006 Derulo was able to sign his own solo record with Beluga Heights Records and Warner Bros. Records.
By August 2009 he released his first single, “Watchu Say” which hit number 1 on the charts a mere three months after its first release. Early the following year, he released hid first album, “Jason Derülo,” debuting within the top 10 in the UK. For the rest of the year he spent touring as the opening act for Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour.
By 2012 Derulo gained a lot of popularity, but an accident during one of his rehearsals for his Future History Tour resulted in a vertebra break; consequently, the rest of the tour dates had to be cancelled. The upside was that it gave him time to work on his new album “Tattoos,” which he released in 2013. Six months after the release, the album was reworked and re-titled as “Talk Dirty.” The re-release of his album also included a world headlining tour through-out 2014.
