Songwriter and recording artist Jason Derulo visits Google to discuss his book "Sing Your Name Out Loud: 15 Rules for Living Your Dream." The book tells the remarkable story of Jason's come up, told through the fifteen rules he lives by—like working hardest at what comes easiest, taking calculated risks, sticking to a routine, and respecting the numbers—which he credits with turning his many far-fetched goals over the years into reality.
In 2009, an 18-year-old son of Haitian immigrants burst onto Billboard music charts with the instant #1 song, "Whatcha Say," which 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 with hit after hit, as one of the hardest working singers, dancers, and performers in the world and a risk-taking force of nature.
After becoming one of the most followed creators on TikTok, he realized that his personal rules for self-mastery and success are applicable anywhere, for anyone, under any circumstance. Derulo reflects 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 obstacles are opportunities, closed doors are meant to be opened, failure is inevitable, and good lighting is non-negotiable.
