John Saviours Udomboso, globally known as Young Jonn, also called The HITmaker, is a defining force in Afropop and Afrobeats. Born on February 16, 1995, in Ibadan, Nigeria, his musical journey began in 2009 before a pivotal move to Lagos in 2012. There, under the tutelage of Hit Factory Studios, he refined his production craft, going on to help shape the sound of a generation of Nigerian pop music.

Beyond the console, Young Jonn has steadily evolved into a fully formed recording artist. In 2021, he signed with Chocolate City Music, a strategic move that accelerated his rise as a singer and songwriter. His debut project, Love Is Not Enough, released in April 2022, marked a major turning point and produced a remix of breakout single “Dada” featuring Davido. This momentum continued with Love Is Not Enough Vol. 2. In 2024, he released his long-awaited debut album, Jiggy Forever, widely regarded as his most complete body of work to date. The album delivered standout anthems including “Big Big Things” featuring Seyi Vibez and Kizz Daniel, alongside “Aquafina,” “Sharpally,” and “Stronger.”

On November 28, 2025, Young Jonn released his sophomore album, Blue Disco — a 21-track project that stands as his most expansive work yet. Featuring appearances from Rema, Wizkid, Asake, Olamide, Focalistic, DJ Tunez, and Shenseea, the album further cements his evolution from hit-making producer to fully realised global artist.
