Over the Influence

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.
