Young Jonn reveals the hardest part about becoming a full-blown artiste

He says that he often questioned whether or not he could do it.

Nigerian singer Young Jonn has confessed that the hardest part of transitioning from a producer to a full-blown performing artiste was convincing himself that he could do it.

In a recent interview with media personality Isi Ijewere on her Backstage Banter trivia YouTube segment, the singer was asked a series of questions after his performance in Canada.

Isi asked, "What has been the hardest part of transitioning from a producer to a full-blown performing artiste?"

After some thought, Young Jonn responded, "The hardest part was self-conviction, actually convincing myself that I could do it. 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."

Next, Isi asked the singer, "When was the last time you cried?" to which he responded, "The last time I cried was when I lost my mum. I don't think I have cried since then."

She also asked, "Are you lying to yourself about anything?" and the singer acknowledged that people often lie to themselves.

In his words, "I think everyone lies to themselves about one thing or the other just to make themselves feel better."

"What is your biggest ick?" Isi asked.

"I don't like people who are not true to themselves. I detest them." He continued, "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."
