Sing Your Name Out Loud

15 Rules for Living Your Dream

By: Jason Derulo

Narrated by: Jason Derulo

In his 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 listeners 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!

Doe knows

Great knowledge stay Amazing dude, such tactical advice on so many things!! My boys have been fans for years I am even more so now !!!

Amazing listen!

I really enjoyed this audio book. I'm so happy Jason DeRulo narrated his book- you could definitely hear the passion in his voice as he read. I learned a lot about his career path that I didn't know about which was very inspiring. It was also fun to learn 'behind the scenes' knowledge with some of his stories he shared.

I do feel like parts of the book were a little heavy on discussing social media and how to succeed with it which I wasn't expecting or really looking for. I also had hoped he would discuss how he juggles his insane schedule and having a son, but the focus was definitely how to succeed in your career and stick with the grind. His work ethic is admirable and he has overcome so many obstacles to get where he is. Excited for his new album!

Uniquely blended

I’m a big fan of psychology/ motivational books, and I picked this because my daughter is in college for music production and has a dream to sing as well. I bought the book for her as a Xmas gift after listening to it myself first. It is a perfect blend of interesting humorous facts about the author, like a biography, and practical instructions like a guidebook, as well as modern Philosophy of the mind. Jason did exactly what he talks about in the book, a mashup of all these genres in his writing, this time in a book instead of a song. I know my daughter is going to love it. I highly recommend it.

Outstanding!

So glad I listened to this book. Jason's work ethic and journey are inspiring! His voice on audio, like butter.

Sing Your Name Out Loud is simply inspirational

Totally loved it. i was so eager to get to the end. Interesting is an understatement to qualify this audio book.
