Young Jonn, born John Saviours Udomboso on 16 February 1995 in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, to a family from Akwa Ibom State, is a Nigerian producer and recording artist billed as "The Wicked Producer" and "Jiggy." He rose in the mid-2010s as an in-house producer affiliated with Olamide's YBNL Nation, with credits including Lil Kesh's "Gbese" and "Efejoku" and Davido's "Biggest Backside," and was ranked No. 3 on The NET's list of Nigeria's top producers. He signed to Chocolate City Music — sources differ on whether in 2021 or 2022 — and crossed over as an artist with the EP Love Is Not Enough (2022) and the hit "Dada," including a Davido remix. "Xtra Cool" became his first solo No. 1 on Nigeria's Top 100. His debut album Jiggy Forever was released 12 April 2024, and a second album, Blue Disco, followed in November 2025.
