In this unflinching and revealing memoir, Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque traces her path from restless childhood and teen stardom to performing at festivals around the world and headlining a Broadway show, as well as serving up an unflinching picture of the realities of life in the entertainment industry.
‘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.’
In her breathtakingly candid memoir, JoJo reveals for the first time the personal adversity and public expectations she has overcome, from being recognised worldwide as a teenager to processing mental health, addiction and trauma.
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.
