Jason Derulo‘s bringing content direct to his fans … whether via Instagram Live or literally on the streets of Los Angeles!

We caught up with the singer-songwriter at his dance studio in Hollywood Saturday … and we asked him about reaching out to fans on IG and TikTok via live streaming — which he says doesn’t necessarily means he’s headed to a platform like Twitch.

JD explains he’s already got a following on the two popular social media platforms … so that’s why he’s posting on them — and, he wouldn’t go to Twitch since he doesn’t have an audience there.

However, Derulo’s clearly fine trying to find new ways to reach people … going out with his group onto Hollywood Boulevard for an old school flash mob.

Check it out … Derulo and about 10 other dancers take over the block — with staffers keeping the crowd from walking into the shot — while they film the music video.

Derulo told us they filmed an official music video on Friday … but this is just an added component — gettin’ gritty on the L.A. streets.
