Meet Nigeria's Youngest & YBNL Music Producer, Young John, The Wicked Producer

Udomboso John Saviours (born February 16,
1995) popularly known as YoungJohn (d wicked
producer) is a multi-talented producer that hails
from Akwa Ibom state in Nigeria. He is perhaps
best known for producing a string of hit singles
like “Story for the gods” by Olamide, “Tana Wole”
by Jaywon, “Gbese” by Lil Kesh, “Ladi” ft. Lil
Kesh, Olamide and Phyno and the recent Number
1 hit by Olamide titled “BoBo”.
YoungJohn spent most part of his life in the
western part of Nigeria attending Ideal
Foundation Primary School in Ibadan, Oritamefa
Baptist Model School in Ibadan before moving on
to GOF College In Osun state.He’s studying
Communication and Language Arts (CLA) in the
University of Ibadan.
YoungJohn production style has been described
as an up-tempo, dance oriented, and catchy yet
simple melodic Afro-pop style. His work ethic has
been praised by the industry considering the
number of artist he has worked with within a very
short period of time. The Wicked Producer grew
up in a church environment playing musical
instruments from a very early age especially the
drums and keyboard. He has since then moved
on from the church scene working with various
artistes like Olamide, Jaywon, Sexy Steel,
Stringz, Sukanmi, Davido, Reminisce,Phyno,
Charass, Lil Kesh, Danaagog, BuckWylla, Yung
Kay, Viktoh, LAX, among many others.
YoungJohn was formerly part of a group called
(AVG) formed with his brothers Marvelous,
Gideon and manager, Dipson, until he signed to
HitFactory Studio Lagos in 2012 to pursue his
solo career as a producer and artist. His
affiliation with YBNL is not by fluke but by a
strong mutual and business relationship created
between Hitfactory Studio and YBNL Nation.
Olamide’s studio album titled Street OT, released
on 14th November 2014, can attest to that
as YoungJohn produced 5 solid hits which
included; Real MVP, Prayer for the client, Blood
Money , Story for the Gods, and Falila Ketan.
YoungJohn has several hits in the pipeline with
the biggest names in the industry which includes
production on the most anticipated sophomore
album of Davido titled “Biggest Backside” ft. B-
Red and Reminisce’s Album (BABAHAFUSA)
