In 2009, an 18-year-old son of Haitian immigrants burst onto Billboard music charts with the instant #1 song, “Whatcha Say,” which sampled a surprising hook and opened with what would prove to be one of the catchiest lines in pop music history—the artist’s own name, sung out loud. Defying every possible odd, Jason Derulo cemented himself again and again and again, hit after hit, as one of the hardest working singers, dancers, and performers in the world and a risk-taking force of nature. In 2020, after becoming one of the most watched creators on TikTok (with 57 million followers), he realized his personal rules for self-mastery and success are applicable anywhere, for anyone, under any circumstance.
In his first book SING YOUR NAME OUT LOUD, Derulo opens up about his remarkable story and the valuable principles that have guided and propelled him. He shares his 15 tried-and-true rules for finding creative excellence, increased productivity, self-mastery, and success in any pursuit. He invites everyone—especially artists, content creators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers—to start on their own path to greatness. A few examples include Work Hardest at What Comes Easiest; Choose Your Competition; Unlock Closed Doors, But Go Through the Open Ones First; Talent is Overrated, Desire is the Gift; and Respect the Hive, Your Co-Pilots Are as Important as the Destination.
SING YOUR NAME OUT LOUD takes readers into the mind of one of the most consistent, dominating, and versatile artists alive. Derulo reflects, in his own words, on the defining moments of his career thus far, most notably the wins and losses that strengthened his signature style of creative pursuit and offers his fifteen rules for turning goals into reality – where numbers mean everything, obstacles are opportunities, closed doors are meant to be opened, failure is inevitable, and good lighting is non-negotiable.
