JoJo's stage name comes from a childhood nickname.
At six years old, JoJo was offered a record deal, but Jojo's mother turned it down because Jojo's Mother believed she was too young for a music career.
After appearing on talk shows and the McDonald's Gospel Fest performing Whitney Houston's "I Believe In You and Me" and competing on the television show, America's Most Talented Kids, record producer Vincent Herbert contacted her and asked her to audition for Blackground Records.
