Work in Progress: Joanna "JoJo" Levesque

Singer, songwriter, and actress Joanna "JoJo" Levesque was only 13 years old when she broke onto the music scene with her smash hit song, 'Leave (Get Out).' Her career was skyrocketing straight to the top, but then she disappeared from the spotlight. JoJo is finally telling her side of the story.

JoJo opens up to Sophia about her decision to write down her experiences in her new memoir, the power of owning your story, growing up with parents who struggled with addiction, misconceptions people have regarding fame and success, and the nearly decade-long battle with her record label.

Plus, JoJo talks about feeling stronger than ever, advice Cyndi Lauper gave her, being on Broadway, and her new music! JoJo's new memoir, "Over the Influence,” is available now.
