Ayra Starr Reveals Music Saved Her from Unemployment

Nigerian star Ayra Starr credits her music career with transforming her life. She says she would be unemployed and still living off her mother if she hadn’t broken through. Speaking to a style and culture platform ahead of her Boiler Room set, she reflected on joining Mavin Records after Don Jazzy discovered her acoustic covers online. She recalled her excitement when she learned the team had been listening to her songs before signing her. The 24-year-old admits fame has its challenges. She sometimes wishes the public knew less about her personal thoughts because she can’t help oversharing when the camera rolls.
