Ayra Starr
Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe (born 14 June 2002), professionally known as Ayra Starr ( EYE-rə-STAR), is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. She achieved mainstream international recognition in 2022 with the release of her song "Rush". It charted in several countries, including Switzerland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 24. It earned Starr a nomination at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for Best African Music Performance.
In early 2021, she released her self-titled debut EP and its lead single "Away", which spent two consecutive weeks at number four on Nigeria's TurnTable Top 50 chart; "Away" also peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Top Thriller Global chart. Her debut EP was followed by the release of her debut studio album, 19 & Dangerous (2021). Categorized mainly as Afropop and R&B, the work received favorable critical reception and spawned two top 40 hits in Nigeria. The lead single, "Bloody Samaritan", became the first song by a solo female artist to reach the number-one position in the Top 50 charts. In August that same year, Starr was ranked number three on Billboard's Next Big Sound.
In 2024, Starr released her second album, The Year I Turned 21.
