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.

One followed a lot Jojo’s journey in and out, especially since the #FreeJoJo movement and was obsessed with her mixtapes especially Agape. Having a slight insight into her struggles in music I had no idea the depth, the challenges, the true essence of her journey and life. The way she has humbly shared her TRUTH is relatable, human to the core, inspiring and healing. This is a fascinating journey of an extraordinary talented women from humble beginnings who had a dream and was thrust into an industry that has an underbelly of toxicity and not only survived but is still thriving and growing. 10/10 amazing

Brutally Honest, Fascinating, Therapeutic
