Jojo takes our weekly backstage on her too much to say tour
Yo -yo gives Us a look in the inside of what it’s like to be on her Too much to say tour.
“My pre-show ritual actually starts in the morning, where it is a coffee, then it is probably a training class,” the singer, 34, exclusively in the last issue of US Weekly. “I want to sweat, I want to increase my heartbeat. Then I go to the location, I will check a latch. “
Yojo started her Too much to say tour On February 22 in Nashville. She will stop in Houston, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago and Atlanta before she completes herself in New York City. The tour coincides with its latest EP NGL who fell last month.
“This is my first independent release and this album was about being single and go to a new city and feel strong and really feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin than I had ever had before. So that’s what it’s about, “she says about her new music. “And just having fun, not taking things as seriously as I have taken them earlier. It is not a life or death. There are serious things going on in the world and music does not have to be one of them at the moment. “
In addition to new music, Jojo published a memoir entitled About the influence who came to the shelves in September 2024.
Keep scrolling to learn some secrets from Jojo behind the scenes while they are on the way:
Pre-show ritual
While Jojo starts her show days with a coffee and training in the morning, she has a specific routine as soon as she arrives at the location.
“I will start doing my warming and doing my makeup and such. And I like to take my time. I don’t like to be in a hurry, “she tells us. “I hurried so much when I was younger and I learned that I hate that feeling, so I just chill.”
While Jojo relaxes, she listens to some music from some “great singers” such as Jasmine Sullivan” Cynthia Erivo” Whitney Houston” Anita Baker And Chaka Khan.
“Just be inspired by their vocal excellence and that brings me to the zone,” she says about the talent on her playlist.
Before JoJo enters the stage, she also likes to hold a ‘voice heating’ that she has learned from one of her teachers with whom she has ‘collaborated in recent years’.
Her must-haves
“My tour driver is fruit. Pineapple is my favorite, “she says Us. “The enzymes in it are really good if you have mucus, but I tend not to struggle with it anymore because I follow an anti -inflammatory diet while I am on tour because mucus is the enemy for a singer.”
In addition to pineapple, Jojo also opts for berries, coffee, local honey and Evian Water. The “too little late” singer, however, tries to go away from plastics and to do it water instead “.
Together with her snacks, Jojo also needs a ‘wonderful smelling candle’.
“It depends on what kind of atmosphere I am. I usually travel with my own candle and then I will just take it with me,” she says. “So that may be the thing that is related to city to city.”
Favorite song to play
“It is changing, but at the moment I really like to perform a song with the name ‘Dissolve’.”
Average
“I gave a comic plague on one of my tours and I look back on it and I want to die a little,” she recalls. “But I also have to accept that that is exactly what I wanted to do at the time.”
Jojo shared that she would “bring someone on stage” at every show and she mounted.
“It was certainly not sexual arousal. So I think that was even better, “she says.” We would choose a different person in the audience every night and I am just: ‘Why did I do that? It wasn’t sexy. ” ‘
Strangest signature request
“I think I have blocked the really strange things that people asked me to sign because I have done this for a long time,” she confesses. “If weird things happen, it’s like I don’t know where they are going because I can’t remember them. But certainly, I signed many Titty in my day. I have drawn faces … I do not listen and I do not judge. “
Joanna “JoJo” Levesque has no “regret” after releasing her storytelling-all memoirs, about the influence. “I was cut by an ex on the street,” Jojo, 34, told us every week while she promoted her new EP, Ngl. “He didn’t like the way I … I don’t know. We didn’t even talk about it […]
Pre-show Nerves
“I get nervous all the time before I go on stage. And actually I recently had a few sessions with a sports psychologist who helps athletes to get into the zone and to be able to perform under pressure, “she explains. “I met him through a friend of mine who is currently playing in a Broadway show, and they just give the most destructive performance every night.”
Jojo shares that she asked her friend how they were able to reach that “point”, so she had contacted the therapist.
“I think what I am trying to do is to get out of my own way, stop thinking about myself and think about how I can be of service to what a member of the audience, a fan, a member of the community needs me,” she says Us. “What do they need to embody in this number? How can I be a ship for what the moment evokes? And that sounds old -fashioned, but I am a spiritual person and that is what makes me feel better. “
Favorite Tour Souvenir
“I picked up tattoos during my tours and my travels,” she says. “I have this beautiful new -Zeelandse Maori tattoo that I had given me from an artist there, and he told and told a story about everyone who is part of my life and even those people who are no longer here in the physical world and how it all contributed to who I am today. And so that is something that I certainly take everywhere. ‘
After-show Relax
“I love these adaptogenic drinks that don’t contain alcohol, but it will be like another, chill type stuff,” she reveals. “I want to relax.”
In addition to a good drink, Jojo will combine it with a meal before he goes to bed.
