A biography for Jason Derulohasn’t been written yet.
“I'm the kind of person who lives my art. It's not that I want to necessarily do it: it's that I have to. It's always been that way. That's how I write songs, and it's always been this way.”
“I would love to start a cancer organization.”
“If you think you've already made it, that's when you can fall short and go backwards. I'm constantly pushing forward and chasing the element of perfection.”
“I just really want to continue on the same intensity of work ethic, I don't want to slow now. I'm 21-year's old and I feel like this era and a few years to come are my prime years, so I want to utilise them.”
“It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.”
“To all my fans who planned to come to the Future History World tour, the pain of letting you down cuts me way deeper than this injury I've sustained.”
“I'm from the Caribbean, and I love the dance hall sound.”
“I had a lil' chub-chub moment from ages 7 to 11. If somebody was teasing, they'd go straight to my fat. I was so insecure, I kept my shirt on in the pool, which is the worst because it sticks to your stomach anyway.”
“My outlook on life is so much clearer.”
“Life throws curveballs.”
“Four legs on a chair, to me, represent a strong foundation and always knowing where I come from.”
“I've learned how much of an impact that music has on people. I get messages all the time from people telling me what my music means to them and what it has done to them.”
“I'm a very normal guy. Like, I'm an average dude.”
“I think the biggest challenge is to continue on the same path. I think it's easy to become complacent from the success you've had.”
“I was an arts kid in every form of the word you can imagine. I wanted to sing and dance and act - I wanted to do it all. At a very young age, I was put in performing arts schools where I got to do those things every single day.”
“Writing a love song when I was 19 is very different than writing a love song when I'm 25. You're more sophisticated; you can elaborate and pinpoint special things a little clearer.”
“What I love most about Zumba is that they make exercising fun and make it accessible to everyone all over the world.”
“I've been traveling the world and experiencing different places, and you always discover new things.”
“No matter what language you speak, music can relate to you in some way, and when that 'Tip Toe' beat drops, it can instantly do something to you. It has the power to move you.”
“My mom says I was an introvert. I never saw myself that way, but I was always focused. I didn't spend a lot of time doing things that I didn't think would make me great.”
