The self-acclaimed wicked producer, Young John has revealed how his mother helped to shape his music career.
Young John made this revelation during an interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
Speaking about his childhood, the music producer disclosed that he grew up as a shy person and suffered social anxiety.
However, with the help of his mum, who is a psychologist, he was subjected to therapy after seeing her clients.
“I always used to be really shy. Being young, I thought it was a normal thing but my mother is a psychologist she would often talk to me about how to relate with people.”

“Along the line, I started getting better but it started getting worst. At some point, I could not attend gatherings and would rather pass through the back door.
“There were so many people and I found it hard. It made me deprive myself of a lot of things. I did not want to be in certain places and didn’t have the courage to do certain things. I had to force myself to snap out of it,” he said.
He noted that if not for his mother it would have been difficult to achieve his dreams.
“My mother helped me a lot to overcome anxiety. I called her and she would give me psychology questionnaires. I had big dreams and, if I kept going that way, it would be hard achieving them,” he said.
