Sing Your Name Out Loud

15 Rules for Living Your Dream

De: Jason Derulo

Narrado por: Jason Derulo

In his page-turning and inspiring first book, legendary songwriter and recording artist Jason Derulo shares his 15 rules for finding success in any pursuit, and invites everyone—especially artists and creators—to start on their path to greatness.

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, hit after hit, as one of the hardest working singers, dancers, and performers in the world and a risk-taking force of nature.

This is the remarkable story of Derulo's come up, told through the valuable principles that guided and propelled him toward artistic excellence. Waking at 4am to catch buses across Miami so he could attend performing arts schools on scholarship, entering himself into local singing competitions at the mall on the weekends, and penning hundreds of songs before he ever saw the inside of a recording studio, Derulo’s commitment to his dream – and dedication to seeing it come true – is the stuff of legend. But it was during his reinvention in 2020, after becoming one of the most followed creators on TikTok, that he realized his personal rules for self-mastery and success are applicable anywhere, for anyone, under any circumstance. “Now,” he writes, “It’s your turn.”

Like Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights and Jay Shetty’s Think Like A Monk, Sing Your Name Out Loud: 15 Rules for Living Your Dream 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.

Some of the rules that Derulo offers in this book:

• TAKE RISKS. Failure Is Good.
• YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR ROUTINE. Train Repetitively for Your Success.
• THOSE WHO CAN, DO. Those Who Can’t Become Critics.
• RESPECT THE HIVE. Your Copilots Are as Important as the Destination.

Loved every minute!

Great to hear the artist tell the story and I've always appreciated and had the utmost respect for Jason Derulo's voice and talent. The fact that he read the book had a tremendous impact in addition to adding to my respect for his expertise. Thank you!

great book

you will be pleasantly by how insightful he is. I was completely unaware of everything he accomplished as an artist. Great tips.

Great but too much TikTok

Mr. Derulo provided great and simple advices as well as insights as to what real success requires. However, there was a bit too much raving about Tik Tok to my liking.

Also a little tip to Mr. Derulo regarding body and mind. The mind doesn’t control the body. It’s you who control your mind and therefore the body too. And you’re not your mind - nor your body. Don’t want to get too philosophical in this review but just ask yourself: who’s watching? If you’re able to observe your thoughts - that is your mind, then who’s watching? ;)
