Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, who is known as Ayra Starr in showbiz has really grown to become a household name in the Nigerian music industry.
In a recent interview, she revealed the things that keep her going in life and she made this known in her interview with Spotify.
In her submission, she said;
“The things that have kept me going are God, my family and my friends. Also, I met some amazing people in my label (Mavin Records). It is not just about work; they are my family.”
The renowned musician grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, although she was born in Cotonou, Benin. She was born to Nigerian parents from Kwara State and has four siblings. Her family moved frequently during her high school years because of her father’s business, and as a result, she had a hard time forming close friends.
Having been raised in a music-loving family, her interest in singing comes mostly from her family. At the age of 10, she sang in a high school choir and began writing songs with her brother.
She attended Les Cours Sonou University and received a BA degree in international relations and political science.
During her college years, she was often bullied by her classmates because of her age and appearance. To counter the feelings she experienced from being taunted, Ayra Starr turned to music.
