Joanna “JoJo” Levesque, the powerhouse voice behind hits like “Leave (Get Out),” “Too Little, Too Late,” and the Grammy Award-winning “Say So,” is ready to bare it all in her forthcoming memoir, “Over The Influence.”
The book, set for release on September 17th, promises a raw and unfiltered look into the life of a pop sensation who captured hearts worldwide as a teenager and faced extraordinary challenges in the years that followed.
Signed to a major recording deal at just 12 years old, JoJo’s rapid ascent in the mid-2000s was nothing short of meteoric.
Her youthful relatability and undeniable talent earned her a place at the top of the pop and R&B charts, as well as a massive global fanbase.
Her omnipresence on Top 40 radio, magazine covers, and national TV solidified her status as a pop culture icon.
However, as quickly as she rose to fame, she seemed to vanish from the spotlight, leaving fans to wonder: What happened to JoJo?
In “Over The Influence,” JoJo confronts these questions head-on, sharing her story of adversity and triumph with breathtaking candor.
Raised by parents who battled addiction and depression, JoJo’s early life was marked by struggle.
Despite these challenges, she soared to stardom, only to face a grueling, years-long legal battle with her record label that left her career in limbo.
JoJo’s memoir delves into her personal and professional turmoil, revealing how she navigated a period of rebellion and self-betrayal before emerging stronger and more determined than ever.
Today, she releases music under her own imprint, performs at shows and festivals worldwide, and even headlines a Broadway show.
Her story is one of redemption and resilience, offering readers an intimate look at her journey through success, heartbreak, and ultimate self-discovery.
JoJo shared her excitement about the memoir on Instagram, writing:
