I noho a JoJo ki Edgewater, New Jersey me tona whaea, tae noa ki te 18 tau, ka neke ia ki Boston mo te tau. Kei te noho ia i Los Angeles inaianei. I tutaki a JoJo ki te kaitakaro whutupaoro Amerika a Freddy Adu mai i te Mei 2005 tae noa ki te Mahuru 2006. I tutaki te tokorua ki te whakaaturanga MTV Fake ID Club i a JoJo e whakahaere ana. I puta a JoJo ki te pouaka korero i te keemu kaainga o New England Revolution i a ratau e purei ana i te DC United. I te marama o Noema 2006, i kii te Washington Post kua wehe te tokorua. I whakaatu a JoJo i runga i te American Top 40 me Ryan Seacrest he hoa pai tonu raua ko Adu. Patai: Na wai i whakaputa he purongo e kii ana kua wehe te iwi?
