Young Jonn opens up on transitioning from producer to artiste

Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn has shared his journey of transitioning from a behind-the-scenes producer to a full-blown performing artiste.

On transitioning from producer to artiste, Young Jonn revealed that the hardest part was convincing himself that he could do it.

In an interview with Isi Ijewere on her Backstage Banter trivia YouTube segment, Young Jonn reflected on his experiences and personal growth.

When asked about the challenges of transitioning, Young Jonn admitted that self-conviction was the biggest hurdle. "The hardest part was actually convincing myself that I could do it," he said. "That was the hardest part, where I was on stage asking myself if I really wanted to do this or not. It was really hard for me to convince myself that I got this."

Meanwhile, the singer opened up about his personal life. He shared that the last time he cried was when he lost his mother. Also, he acknowledged that people often lie to themselves, stating, "I think everyone lies to themselves about one thing or the other just to make themselves feel better."

Additonally, when asked about his biggest turn-off, Young Jonn expressed his dislike for people who are not true to themselves. "I don't like people who are not true to themselves. I detest them," he said. However, he clarified that he doesn't detest them seriously, emphasizing the importance of self-authenticity. "Let me not say 'detest' because it's probably not that serious. I feel like when you are true to yourself, that's when you can be true to anybody else, but if you're not true to yourself, you're living a lie."

Through this introspective conversation, Young Jonn showcased his vulnerability and self-awareness. He offered a glimpse into his personal growth and artistic journey.
