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.'

Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque is a chart-topping and award-winning singer, songwriter, actress and first-time author. At just thirteen years old, JoJo burst onto the scene with her self-titled debut album, whose breakout smash 'Leave (Get Out)' made her the youngest-ever solo artist to have a debut No. 1 single in the US. That album went on to sell over four million copies and became the singer's first platinum record, which she followed with a string of additional accomplishments, including another No. 1 single, 'Too Little Too Late', and another platinum album, The High Road. Since then, she's released several critically acclaimed studio albums, EPs and mixtapes, and started her own label, Clover Music. In 2020, JoJo's song with PJ Morton, 'Say So', won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song. JoJo has also appeared in movies such as Aquamarine and RV (opposite Robin Williams), and in 2023, she starred as Satine in Broadway's Tony Award-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical. JoJo is currently writing her next chapter and lives in Los Angeles with her rescue dog, Agapé.
