About this listen

Read by the author, JoJo.

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 twelve 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 reader 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 readers 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 a life

Bless Jojo and her career. I think she is a slight victim of the corrupt music industry. I hope she will be able to gain the proper guidance and support that she deserves. I’ve been a fan and still am!!!

Honest, enlightening, more brilliant than ever.

Couldn’t stop listening. Eloquent, determined and resilient in one of the toughest arenas in the world. The only downside is now I want more, more, more.

An unfettered feast for fans

TeamJoJo know of the struggles Joanna has faced in getting her voice heard, but aside from the occasional interview soundbite and the song 'Limbo', we've had little insight into how it truly felt for her. This book fills in the blanks, shining a light on her emotions and relationships along the way. A must-read for fans of Jo, but also anyone with an interest in the music industry or fame.

Unapologetically honest!

Love all the small details. Been a fan for so many years and didn’t realise just how much we didn’t know! Defo a good insight into the music industry too

She is the moment 🍀

Such a deep, emotive and raw listen on her journey spanning over 3 decades. This book proves JoJo truly has the natural gifts and charisma to take her wherever she wants and is far from a one-trick pony. Singer/singwriter, actor, thespian and now a NYT BEST SELLING AUTHOR! Cannot wait to see what her next project shapes up to be.
