You're competing against the entire world of musicians. "You're not competing against the people that are in your class or your school.

To have a long-lasting career in music, Derulo said an aspiring artist would have to be "better than the rest of the world". The goal is to help out as much as I can, wherever I can be a conduit and a partner, I'm going to try to be as honest and brutally honest when I see I see some things just to help people out."
