‘I never planned to be artiste, life played out’ – Young Jonn

Nigerian musician Young Jonn has stated that he became an artist by accident.
In a recent interview with Revolt, the producer-turned-singer stated that he never intended to become an artist, but life happened.

"I never really planned to be an artist, but life played out," he explained.

Jonn described his move from producer to artist as "a learning process." It's an entirely different ballgame. It is a completely separate hustle, grind, and business.

"It took me time, but I think I'm getting hold of it."

Young Jonn cited Olamide, Kizz Daniel, and Lil Kesh as sources of inspiration in establishing himself as a musician.

Jonn worked with Olamide's YBNL Nation early on in his career, producing many songs for Lil Kesh, Olamide himself, and other artists on the label.
