Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr has discussed her rise to fame and the experience of growing up in the public eye.
In a recent interview with Visa’s ‘Music Talks’, she spoke about her evolution as an artist.
With her debut EP and first full-length project ’19 & Dangerous’ in 2021, Ayra Starr has been making waves in the music industry, gaining a massive following and critical acclaim.
She revealed that she has been growing up in the spotlight, with her music evolving significantly since her debut.
She emphasised the importance of allowing artists to grow and find themselves, hinting that she may not have reached her “final form” yet.
“My first single blew up in Africa and I was overwhelmed. I got to grow up in front of everyone. We need to allow artists to grow and find themselves. So I don’t even know if this is my final form yet, but I don’t think there’s any such thing as a final form. I don’t think so.
“I think there’s eras and times and you just become better. This is the vibe now with Ayra Starr, it might not be there next year. It might be better, it might be bigger.”
On her global acceptance, Starr said, “Different people from different parts of the world love my music. My voice is kind of my sound. I bring the Afrobeats to every genre I enter.”
Ayra Starr also revealed how she recorded five songs on her first day with Don Jazzy, three of which made it to her debut EP.
“I recorded five songs the first day I met Don Jazzy. Three of those ended up in my first EP,” she said.
