R&B singer-songwriter and actress known for her soulful voice and hit singles like "Leave (Get Out)" and "Too Little, Too Late"
At just 13 years old, Joanna Noëlle Levesque, known professionally as JoJo, made history as the youngest solo artist to top the US Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart with her debut single "Leave (Get Out)". This achievements marked the beginning of a remarkable career that would span over two decades.
Born on December 20, 1990, JoJo grew up in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and began performing in singing competitions and local talent shows as a child. Her big break came when she competed on the television show "America's Most Talented Kids" in 2003, catching the attention of record producer Vincent Herbert.
After signing with Herbert's record label Blackground Records, JoJo released her self-titled debut studio album in 2004, which peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album sold over four million copies worldwide, making JoJo an overnight sensation.
JoJo's success continued with her second studio album "The High Road" in 2006, which spawned her first top-five Hot 100 hit "Too Little, Too Late". The album was later certified gold, selling over three million copies worldwide.
By 2007, JoJo had sold more than seven million records worldwide, including 2.1 million albums in the United States. She became known for her powerful voice, energetic live performances, and relatable lyrics that resonated with her teenage audience.
Despite her early success, JoJo faced record label disputes that delayed the release of her third studio album. During this time, she released two mixtapes, "Can't Take That Away from Me" in 2010 and "Agápē" in 2012, independently.
In 2014, JoJo signed with Atlantic Records and released her first commercial EP "III" in 2015, followed by her third studio album "Mad Love" in 2016, which became her third top-ten album in the US.
After leaving Atlantic in 2017, JoJo founded her own record label, Clover Music, through a joint venture with Warner Records. She re-recorded and re-released her debut and second albums as the label's first project in 2018, regaining control over her music and legacy.
In May 2020, JoJo released her fourth studio album "Good to Know", which debuted in the top 10 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album marked a new chapter in JoJo's career, showcasing her growth as an artist and songwriter.
Throughout her career, JoJo has been recognized with several awards and nominations, including a Billboard Music Award, an MTV Video Music Award, and a Teen Choice Award.
JoJo's music and message have always been centered around empowerment, self-love, and perseverance. She has been an inspiration to many young artists and fans, using her platform to promote positivity and self-acceptance.
As a trailblazer in the music industry, JoJo has paved the way for future generations of young artists, proving that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.
