Joanna “JoJo” Levesque | Over the Influence: A Memoir | Talks at Google

Описание: Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, and first-time author Joanna “JoJo” Levesque joins us to discuss her book “Over the Influence: A Memoir” where she reveals a behind-the-scenes look at her life. 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 2000s. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, appearing in major studio films, on the Top 40 radio, magazine covers, and 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?

JoJo’s unflinching vulnerability allows readers to connect with her on a whole new level through stories of success, heartbreak, redemption, and resilience, where she explores 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.

At just 13 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 #1 single in the U.S. 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 #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. She is currently reprising her role as Satine in Broadway’s Tony Award-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical, developing an original piece of musical theater and gearing up to release new music later this fall.
