festival in Goa. At TIMEOUT 72, ‘Swalla’ hit maker and multi platinum artist
Jason Derulo will get the party started on the first day of the three day
festival and the line up will include hip hop reigning King Wiz Khalifa and
Martin Garrix, who is ranked number 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list for 2017.
Few acts making their debut in India will include Australia’s DJ Timmy Trumpet
and World No 11, Don Diablo.
American singer, songwriter, dancer, Jason Derulo is on his
maiden trip to India and Goa is excited about it. He has achieved eleven
Platinum singles, including ‘Wiggle’, ‘Talk Dirty’, ‘In My Head’, and ‘Whatcha
Say’. He will be performing his hits in Goa at the festival. “Music is the soul
of your country and I feel privileged and humbled to be coming to India. I feel
very connected to India. I’m bringing the biggest party to TIMEOUT 72. I am
going to be playing some of my biggest hits including ‘Swalla’, ‘Talk Dirty’,
‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Wiggle’, ‘Get Ugly’. I have my best dancers and musicians
coming along with me so it’s going to be a grand theatrical show with a lot of
energy,” says Jason.

At the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, Jason announced his fifth
studio album ‘777’. So far, her has released three singles from the album,
‘Swalla’ (featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign), ‘If I’m Lucky’ and ‘Tip
Toe’(featuring French Montana). Speaking about his future projects, Jason says,
“I’m working on my album ‘777’. I always try to create an album that’s a bit of
a rollercoaster ride so my listeners don’t get bored, because those are my
favorite kind of albums. But this album, I do dive in more emotionally and more
vulnerably. The songs go deep into some of my breakups and some of my failed
relationships, why they may have happened or how they may have happened, or
falling in love. It takes you on this roller coaster ride of who I am today.
There’s this song called ‘Point of View.’ It’s a ballad and I think it’s one of
the greatest songs I’ve ever written. I can’t wait to release it. I’m putting
out the music that I want to put out, instead of chasing anything. Whether it’s
a party song that makes me want to party, or a song that makes me fall in
love.”
When not working on music, Jason loves watching movies and TV
series. Besides, writing is also keeping him busy, “I am penning some
screenplays for films at the moment. This has been my new pastime for two
years. I work a lot, and I party a lot too. You got to reward yourself. But I’m
so focused on myself and the things that I need to do to further develop my
career in an artistic way,” he says.
Jason
is on a tight schedule while traveling to Goa, “India is known for its cultural
diversity and I’m very excited to experiment with some Indian food and explore
the art and architecture of the country. I have heard of Indian music and I’d
love to see how I could collaborate with some Indian musicians in the future.
I’d love to explore India but I guess it’s going to be just Goa this time. I am
definitely going to explore Goan cities and its architecture as well. So here’s
a message to all my Indian fans, come over to Goa and I promise you the best
time of your lives,” concludes Jason.
