CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN Media Network on Thursday announced that platinum-selling artist, Jason Derulo, will be the featured musical guest at the 2025 AVN Awards Show presented by MyFreeCams.
Derulo released his debut single “Whatcha Say” in May of 2009, selling over five million digital downloads and reaching number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 list. To date, he has sold over 250 million singles worldwide and has achieved 19 platinum singles in the U.S. alone. His third album led to three hit singles worldwide including “Talk Dirty," “Trumpets," and “Wiggle”. The AVN Awards, the sexiest awards show of the year, will take place on January 25, 2025. AVN president Tony Rios made today’s announcement.
“Jason Derulo is a global superstar who knows how to turn up the heat, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him light up the stage at this year’s AVN Awards,” Rios said. “His magnetic performance and chart-topping hits are a perfect match for the glamour and edge of our biggest night. This is one show you won’t want to miss.”
Derulo may be recognizable worldwide as a multiplatinum singer and songwriter, visionary entrepreneur, best-selling author, committed philanthropist, and engaging presence, but his story starts unassumingly. The self-described, “Kid from a Haitian family in Miami,” has emerged as one of his generation’s most prolific stars. His latest single, "You Can Do Anything (MTG DA SIA)" is a collaboration with Brazilian sensation DJ Lucas Beat and pop legend Sia that blends funk, pop, and an infectious style with an inspiring message at its core. In the pipeline for Jason is the sure-to-be hit single "Snake" with legendary India-based artist, Nora Fatehi.
Generating tens of billions of streams, Jason's global sales exceed 250 million singles with dozens of multiplatinum and platinum certifications for smashes such as “Wiggle” [feat. Snoop Dogg], “Take You Dancing,” “Talk Dirty” [feat. 2 Chainz], “Whatcha Say,” and more. Derulo has three songs streamed over 1 billion times each under his belt, namely “Swalla” [feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign], “Want To Want Me,” and “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” [with Jawsh 685]. The latter even claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to topping charts in 16 countries. He’s equally at home in a duet with BTS or Luke Bryan.
With nearly 200 million followers across social media platforms, he notably remains the “4th most-followed male on TikTok and 11th biggest account overall.” He’s appeared in various films and television series, including Spinning Gold and Empire. And his business portfolio encompasses ownership stakes in Rocket Car Wash, Pro Volleyball Federation, and the Omaha Supernovas. He also penned the bestselling book "Sing Your Name Out Loud: 15 Rules for Living Your Dream" and created the "UZO" graphic novel in collaboration with Z2 Comics. Derulo tells a story you’ve never heard on his fifth full-length offering, Nu King, beginning with “Spicy Margarita” [with Michael Bublé].
He joins an elite lineup of past musical performers at the AVN Awards Show, including industry icons Lil Wayne, Cardi B, Iggy Azalea, FloRida, Doja Cat, Kehlani, and DJ Diplo.
The AVN Awards Show is the premier gala of adult video, recognizing titles, individuals, and companies for outstanding achievements in the adult industry.
The 2025 GayVN Awards Show will be held Monday, January 20, 2025 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
