Mavin artiste, Ayra Starr, who warmed her way into the hearts of music lovers through her hit records like Away and Bloody Samaritan.
Born Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe on June 14, 2002, in Cotonou, Benin Republic, she began a fashion career at the age of 16. After covering several songs by popular artistes on Instagram, she posted her first original song on her page in December 2019. This brought her to the attention of record executive, Don Jazzy, and led to her signing to Mavin Records.
The songstress released two EPs last year titled; ‘Ayra Starr EP’ and ‘19 & Dangerous Album’, and both projects were a success.
So far, her hit song ‘Away’, which was released on YouTube about 11 months ago, has about 5.6m views. Also, her song ‘Bloody Samaritan’, which was released on YouTube about four months ago, has garnered over four million views.
Moreso, her stage name, Ayra, means honourable and respected.
