Jason Deruloconsidershis newborn sonhis mini-me in every way.
“He seems to really adore music already,” Derulo, 31, tells PEOPLE while promotingHotwire’s #HotwireHotelGoals challenge. “From when he was in the womb, he would start kicking whenever I would play music on my phone, because every morning I played the song that I had did the night prior. Now, it’s the only thing that keeps him calm. He’ll be going crazy one minute and then you start playing some music and he’s okay.”

“It’s probably 60/40 regular music to kiddie music, but I was actually thinking of making some kiddie music for him, myself,” Derulo says. As for whether he’d consider releasing a kids' album, Derulo says that could end up being son Jason’s call.
“He’ll be the first critic,” thenew dadcontinues. “If he likes it, then I guess the other kids will like it.”
Derulo’s Hotwire campaign simply requires contestants to share in a TikTok video why they believe they deserve a vacation at a five-star hotel via private jet (a trip worth up to $50,000).
Workout aficionado Derulo met fitness model Frumes, 27, at the gym prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, so of course, the musician hopes his child will “dive into a bunch of different athletics,” he says. “I want him to have a foundation in health and fitness. I want to see what he gravitates towards, but I want to expose him to a lot so that he can choose his own way. But for me, it is a must that he does sports, for health reasons.”

Derulo calls having a child “incredible” and claims he “always knewit was going to be a boy.”
Because his son would be taking on the responsibility of carrying on the family name, Derulo wanted to make him a Junior.
“I wanted my name to continue to thrive, and I also thought that it would bring me closer to him,” Derulo says of the name choice.
“Right now, he’s just for us,” Derulo explains. “Some things are sacred, and he’s just a newborn. It’s pretty incredible waking up every morning to a ball of sunshine. It’s a whole new world that I didn’t know existed, and I’m really, really thankful.”
