Embracing the Venue's Unique Identity
Derulo's decision to film his "Spicy Margarita" music video at Voltaire was a strategic move, serving as a warm-up for his upcoming residency. The artist recognized the venue's distinct character and sought to fully capitalize on its beauty and design. "Everywhere you turn, everywhere you look, feels like it's part of the show," Derulo explains. Unlike traditional concert settings where the stage is the focal point, Derulo's vision was to make the entire Voltaire space an integral part of the performance, with the lighting design seamlessly complementing the venue's unique aesthetic.
Immersing the Audience in the Party
Derulo's approach to his Voltaire residency is to make the audience an active participant in the experience, rather than mere spectators. "I utilize this space as if it's my own," he says. "It becomes a part of the nucleus of the show." From performing on top of the bar to interacting with the audience within the seating area, Derulo is determined to create a truly immersive party atmosphere, where the audience feels like they're an integral part of the celebration.
Harnessing the Venue's Potential
The Voltaire's distinct identity could easily overwhelm some performers, but Derulo sees it as an opportunity to showcase his creativity and showmanship. "I think there's a lot of people that could possibly get swallowed up in this room and the beauty of the room, because it is so beautiful," he acknowledges. However, Derulo has embraced the challenge, using the venue's unique features to his advantage and ensuring that the space becomes an extension of his performance, rather than a distraction.
Blending Humor and Musicality
Derulo's concerts and social media presence are known for their playful and humorous elements, and the artist reveals that this aspect of his persona didn't come naturally at first. "It took me posting a ton for me to stop caring, and I had nonnegotiables for myself," he explains. Through consistent experimentation and a willingness to let his guard down, Derulo has seamlessly integrated his comedic voice into his musical career, creating a dynamic and engaging persona that resonates with his fans.
Exploring the Vibrant Nightlife of Sin City
While Derulo's focus is undoubtedly on his Voltaire residency, he's also eager to experience the legendary nightlife of Las Vegas. "I really don't know much about what's going on in the real world, so I'm excited to explore," he admits. The artist's fondness for daytime pool parties and spicy margaritas suggests that he's ready to immerse himself in the city's vibrant social scene, further fueling the party atmosphere that he aims to create on stage.As Jason Derulo prepares to take the Voltaire by storm, his unique approach to this residency promises to redefine the concert experience, blending his infectious energy, chart-topping hits, and a touch of humor to create an unforgettable celebration that will have audiences dancing and singing along from start to finish.
