The musician, who transitioned from producer to singer, recounted starting his musical journey within the church as a drummer. Reflecting on his early beliefs shaped by the loving relationship between his parents, John acknowledged encountering a starkly different world as he grew older.
He also spoke candidly about the loss of his mother to cancer and how he has coped with the grief. John stated, "I grew up in a religious home. Both my mum and dad were pastors. My mum also ran a school and was a psychologist. So, my upbringing was deeply rooted in religion. I began my music career playing drums and keyboards in church."
"In my youth, I held a strong belief in love, influenced by the bond I witnessed between my parents. However, as I matured, I came to realize that the world can be vastly different from what I once perceived."
"Our family was once very close-knit until life's demands pulled us apart. Sadly, my mother passed away due to cancer some time ago. I have since come to terms with her loss," he added.
This rephrased version encapsulates the essence of Young John's reflections while maintaining clarity and respect for the personal aspects of his story.
