Early life and career
Joelle Joanie Siwa was born in Omaha, Nebraska on May 19, 2003, the child of Dr. Tom Siwa, a chiropractor from Nebraska, and Jessalyn Siwa (née Jessalyn Lombardi), a professional dance instructor from Iowa. She has one sibling, a brother named Jayden Siwa.
Siwa was a top-5 finalist on the second season of the series Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition and the youngest contestant on season 2. She appeared on the show with her mother and was eliminated in week 9.
Siwa began auditioning for Abby Lee Miller's ALDC dance competition team in 2014 and was selected for the team in early 2015. At the same time, she began to appear on the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms, which follows the ALDC team. She departed the team and the show in 2016.
In May 2016, Siwa released Boomerang for digital download and followed a previous single, "I Can Make U Dance". "Boomerang" addresses the subject of online bullying. The music video for the song has been viewed more than 450 million times and received over 2.5 million likes.
She is currently signed to Nickelodeon.
Other ventures
In 2016, Siwa, known to audiences for wearing large, colorful bows in her hair, released her own line of bows called JoJo's Bows to be sold at Claire's, a fashion accessories company aimed at girls, typically those aged 6 to 12 years old. Her bows found a strong following among primary school pupils in the United Kingdom and were ultimately subject to bans as teachers discovered students unable to afford the bows, which retail for approximately £8 to £12 each, were subject to bullying from their peers and that the bows interfered with students' concentration during class as well as the schools' dress code policies. Due to the high price of the bows and their popularity, some stores began selling similar, homemade bows. Siwa, whose bows are heavily featured in her music videos and general wardrobe, commented on her brand in 2017, saying her bows are a "symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness."
Siwa subsequently partnered with the American department store J. C. Penney to release a line of accessories, bedroom decor, and a doll made in her likeness and has released several books aimed at young children.
