Publisher's summary

A breathtakingly candid memoir by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, the chart-topping, multi-platinum recording artist behind hits like “Leave (Get Out),” “Too Little, Too Late”, and the Grammy Award-winning "Say So"

Signed to a major recording deal at just 12 years old, JoJo catapulted to the top of the pop-and-R&B-infused charts in the mid 2000's. The relatability of her youth and the appeal of her cool-girl mystique earned her millions of fans around the world. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, spanning roles in major studio films, omnipresence on Top 40 radio, frequenting magazine covers, and appearing on national TV. Then, out of the blue, everything came to a halt and JoJo seemingly stepped out of the spotlight, leaving many fans to wonder: What happened to JoJo?

In OVER THE INFLUENCE, JoJo holds nothing back as she brings her against-the-odds story of adversity and triumph to center stage. From being raised by parents who were both battling addiction and depression, to emerging victorious in a never-ending lawsuit with her record label, to putting the fragmented pieces of herself together after a maddening period of rebellion and self-betrayal, she takes the listener through the turbulent years that led her to where she is now: releasing new music under her own imprint, performing in shows and festivals around the world, headlining a Broadway show, and beyond. In this raw, behind-the-scenes look at her life, both personal and professional, JoJo’s unflinching vulnerability allows listeners to connect with her on a whole new level through stories of success, heartbreak, redemption, and resilience.

More than a victory lap from an artist with over two decades in an ever-changing entertainment industry, OVER THE INFLUENCE is an unapologetic rallying cry to anyone who’s ever been terrified to fail and still said, “Count me in.

What didn’t stand out?!

Joanna, Joanna, Joanna.
Yet again, another amazing performance.
I thought I was a huge fan, but after hearing all you went through, and choices you made, made me realize we’re all not perfect.
Everyone is really going through things no one else sees.

I enjoyed hearing every detail you gave us.
With this audio book, you made me feel so connected to your whole story.( and your outlook on your choices)

You have no idea how strong your fan base is.
From your Mad Love tour in Houston, Moulin Rouge on Broadway in New York, Let’s not forget to mention your December Baby candle & much more.

I cannot wait to receive your signed copy of Over the influence.

Love you always 😻

Joanna, formerly JoJo

This book had me crying, laughing, smiling, and left me feeling proud of someone I don’t even know! Jojo, is and always will be my childhood, but in this book, she is and forever will be Joanna. The real stories hit hard and I admire Joanna’s ability to own up to her upbringing and even down to her mistakes! We are all human and I wish you all the best in your new adventures, as Joanna 🫶🏼

RAW, RELATABLE, INSIGHTFUL, INSPIRING

I enjoyed this audiobook so much. If you’re thinking about this title, it’s WORTH IT 💯. Not only am I walking away with more insight and appreciation for Joanna, but it has definitely opened my eyes and helped me reflect on my life a little more too.

An honest journey through life

It’s not often that we get these full glimpses into our childhood idols and favorite artists lives but when they happen I hope it’s as open as Joanna has written about her life. Listening to this audiobook was as if you filled in the gaps of the journey you as her fan took with her. It is an amazing depiction of healing and perseverance and dedication to herself and her craft. Bravo!

Amazing voice and story.

I loved listening to this. I also bought the book to read but when I saw that there was an audiobook AND Joanna was the narrator, I couldn’t resist. Sooo glad I listened. It was beautiful.
