American pop singer Jason Derulo is one of the headliners for the 22nd Reggae Sumfest, scheduled for Catherine Hall in Montego Bay from July 13–19.
Derulo is set to perform on July 18, International Night I. His song, Take me to The Other Side, is currently number two on the American pop chart.
Derulo has been in the music business since age 16. He started his career as a producer and writer for acts such as Danity Kane, Sean Kingston, Lil Wayne, Cassidy, Iyaz and Lady Gaga.
As a singer, he is known for hits such as Talk Dirty, Ridin Solo, In My Head, and Whatcha Say. Executive producer of Summerfest Productions, Johnny Gourzong, says following strong performances from Usher, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida, Derulo was a natural choice for Sumfest.
“We have received overwhelming requests for Jason, so we are pleased to announce his confirmation on our lineup. It’s going to be another great show this year,” Gourzong told the Observer.
Born to Haitian parents in Florida, Derulo’s third album, Tattoos, was released last September. His latest set, Talk Dirty, was released last month.
Reggae Sumfest kicks off with its traditional beach party on July 13 at Aquasol Beach, followed by the All White Party on July 15 at Pier 1, both in Montego Bay.
