Parramatta Westfield was packed and young ladies (and a couple of young men) could be heard screaming and yelling, as Jason Derulo hit the stage.

The ultra talented and popular Derulo is a 16 multi-platinum singer - songwriter. The heartthrob performed some of his most popular numbers including It Girl, Don’t Wanna Go Home and In My Head.

You can be the Westfield powers that be were happy to have the teen idol showcased at Parramatta. Parra's centre manager, Stuart Elder, told the press he was very excited to have Derulo.

"We are very excited to be welcoming Jason Derulo to Westfield Parramatta as part of our commitment to providing great entertainment for our customers."

"We’ve had an overwhelming response from our Facebook fans to news of Jason’s appearance in our centre, so we expect big crowds on Sunday."

If you didn't know, Derulo leaped into the music biz last year with his self-titled album, selling about 850,000 globally.

This year he's enjoyed three top 10 hits and a host of awards and commendations including 2011 BMI Songwriter of the Year award. Make no mistake, this young man is on a mission.
