This week sees the release of Jason Derulo’s debut self titled album, which contains the double platinum hit single ‘Whatcha Say’ and the gold single, ‘In My Head’, which debuted at #1 on the Australian Aria Chart and stayed there for two weeks. Both singles are just part of what awaits on the debut album - a blend of pop, rock, electronic and R&B elements that showcases this exciting newcomer’s many talents.

Jason has just wrapped up a six week stint on the road with Lady GaGa on her sold out tour of North America; a two week promotional trip to the UK, which gave him another debut at #1 with his single ‘In My Head’ and made his feature film debut in MTV Films ‘Turn the Beat Around’ last month. Myspace are also running weekly webisodes on Jason Derulo called the ‘Walk To Fame’.

Raised in a two-parent home in Florida, Derulo took to performing in school plays, and composed his first song on piano at age 8. 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 writing, and at age 17, he wrote and sang the chorus to "Bossy", a song on southern rapper Baby's album Five*Stunna. This credit opened the flood gates and Derulo became a sought-after tunesmith for songs by hip hop star Lil Wayne, Bad Boy R&B singer Cassie and girl group Danity Kane.

Meanwhile super-producer J.R. Rotem's label Beluga Heights had launched the platinum career of Sean Kingston. After Rotem's younger brother Tommy found Jason on Myspace, the Beluga Heights team flew Derulo out to L.A. to write songs for Sean Kingston's second album. In 2009, after Rotem inked a joint venture deal between Beluga Heights and Warner Bros., American Idol judge and Warner Bros. Records Senior Vice President of A&R Kara DioGuardi signed Derulo as the flagship artist to launch the new venture.
