About this listen

Read by the author, JoJo.

She's stronger than she's ever been. From shooting to worldwide fame as a teenager to processing mental health, addiction and trauma, Over the Influence is the breathtakingly candid memoir from pop icon JoJo.

'One-of-a-kind' – Vogue

‘I just needed something to take me out of my mind. And the pattern of telling myself I was going to stop but not being able to eroded any sliver of self-trust I still had . . . I felt ashamed. I couldn’t get over this idea that I was letting everyone down.’

Holding nothing back, JoJo shares her against-the-odds story of adversity and resilience, from being raised by parents who were both battling addiction and depression to the seven-year law suit she found herself locked in with her label, to eventually finding the strength to put the fragmented pieces of herself back together after a period of rebellion and self-betrayal. Over the Influence invites readers on a journey of self-redemption to discover what it truly means to find yourself.

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!!!
