JASON DERULO IS COMING TO MANILA WITH SPECIAL GUEST, REDFOO!

Whether you’ve had an outpouring of emotions with “Whatcha Say”, reached the highest note of “In My Head”, boldly danced to the beats of “Talk Dirty” and “Wiggle”, or pressed the loop button for “Want To Want Me”, it is indisputable that Jason Derulo’s chart-topping hits have embedded themselves in your head.

Good news is that today’s hottest and best-selling pop and urban artist, JASON DERULO is bringing his World Tour 2016 to Manila on May 27th live at the Mall of Asia Arena. Joining him as special guest for this concert tour is equally sucessful pop and EDM artist, REDFOO, one half of the team behind “Party Rock Anthem”, “Sorry for Party Rocking” and “Sexy And I Know It”, electro-pop dance duo LMFAO.

Jason Derulo has sold over 50 million singles worldwide and racked up over two billion views on YouTube and 1 billion plays on Spotify, thanks to his uncanny ability to find new angles to tried-and-true trends. This has led to 11 career-defining platinum singles, including “Want to Want Me,” “Whatcha Say,” "In My Head," "Ridin' Solo," "Don't Wanna Go Home" and "It Girl.” His radio audience is over 17 billion (with 11 of his songs reaching the Top 10 on the Top 40 charts include four #1’s) and he boasts over 20 million social media fans and followers.

Derulo’s 2014 album, Talk Dirty, spawned five platinum singles that sold a collective 16 million units worldwide including: “The Other Side,” “Talk Dirty” (feat. 2 Chainz), “Marry Me,” “Wiggle” (feat. Snoop Dogg), and “Trumpets” — propelling Derulo into an elite cadre of artists, including Drake, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift, who have scored five platinum singles from one album. The track “Talk Dirty” itself sold over six million singles worldwide and became a No. 1 around the world, while dominating radio charts in the U.S. in 2014.

In addition, Derulo has sealed his reputation as a global chart-topping star. He was a five-time winner at the BMI Pop Awards, and was honored as its “Songwriter of the Year” in 2011. Derulo has also won three Teen Choice Awards and earned an array of international award nominations including MTV Video Music, MTV Europe Music, Billboard Latin Music, ARIA Music, American Music, NAACP Image and MOBO Awards. Most recently, he was nominated for an iHeart Radio Music Award for “Best Collaboration” with 2 Chainz for “Talk Dirty.”

Jason’s latest album, Everything is 4, further proves his genre versatility, stretching to the horizons of pop, dance, and R&B. It features the explosive pop tune, “Want To Want Me”, which became the most added track in the history of Top 40 radio, counted in by 156 monitored pop station, making it the largest Top 40 U.S. radio launch ever. Other chart-topping hits in the latest album include “Try Me” (feat. Jennifer Lopez and Matoma), “Cheyenne” and “Get Ugly”.
