Jason Derulo is coming to Romania for FOMO – Festival Of Modern Owners

FOMO – Festival Of Modern Owners continues to surprise and is proud to announce a high-caliber international guest: Jason Derulo, one of the world’s most renowned music industry artists, is coming to Romania for the first time — not as a performer, but as a speaker. The artist who topped global charts with hits like “Wiggle,” “Whatcha Say,” “In My Head,” and “Talk Dirty” will bring to the FOMO stage not his music, but his business vision. Young Romanian entrepreneurs will have the chance to hear about his journey — from a child born in Florida to a Tahitian family, to the successful businessman he is today — and the key decisions that helped him build his financial empire.

Derulo has sold over 250 million singles, earned 14 platinum records, and received nominations for awards such as the MTV Video Music Awards and Teen Choice Awards. But beyond the stage, he is a strategic entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of $16 billion. One of his successful ventures is Rocket Carwash, a car wash chain built on a monthly subscription model, generating over $30 million in annual revenue and valued at $2 billion.

FOMO – Festival Of Modern Owners thus offers a unique opportunity for Romanian entrepreneurs and business enthusiasts to learn from the experience of an artist who successfully turned his fame into powerful brands, investing in scalable businesses and thinking strategically — like a true Modern Owner.

The event will take place between May 21–25, 2025, at Sala Palatului and four other key locations in central Bucharest: Sala Luceafărul, Grădina Alhambra, Apollo 111, and Nook, transforming the city into a hub of entrepreneurial education.

Jason Derulo joins an already impressive lineup of international speakers, including:

• Steven Bartlett – host of The Diary of a CEO, the most listened-to business podcast in Europe
• Sara Al Madani – entrepreneur and investor
• Simon Squibb – founder of What’s Your Dream and HelpBank, helping thousands of young people become entrepreneurs
• Dain Walker – global branding expert, founder of Rivyl
• Daniel Priestley – serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and creator of the Key Person of Influence method

They will be joined by over 50 Romanian entrepreneurs and specialists in fields such as branding, investment, education, AI, fintech, content, business strategy, and digital communication. Among them:
Radu Atanasiu, Marius Moga, Mihai Zant, Sorina Fredholm, Bogdan Rădulescu, Alina Sime, Ana Maria Udriște, Radu Georgescu, Ilinca Păun, Monica Munteanu, Sabin Dima, Ausra Lucinskaite, Bogdan Zaharescu, Iancu Guda, Tudor Costinaș, and Raluca Leafu.

FOMO is not just an event. It is a community where ideas are built, businesses are accelerated, and opportunities are unlocked.

“Jason Derulo is not only a successful artist, but also a visionary entrepreneur who knew how to turn fame into impactful brands, investments, and global initiatives. At FOMO – Festival Of Modern Owners, we aim to bring before the Romanian entrepreneurial community people who blend creativity with entrepreneurial spirit and offer concrete examples of what success looks like in today’s economy. The fact that Jason Derulo, Steven Bartlett, Sara Al Madani, and Simon Squibb are coming to FOMO in Bucharest reflects our ambition to put Romania on the map of major entrepreneurial events in Europe, and to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and freelancers.”
