I want to be one of the leaders of Afrobeats – Ayra Starr

Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has revealed her desire to be one of the leading Afrobeats artists.

The 21-year-old added that it is her desire for the genre to become the biggest in the world.

Speaking in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan UK, she said, “My hope for Afrobeats is for it to be the biggest genre in the world. Because it deserves to be.

“Other genres of music are great, but there’s nothing like Afrobeat. Even the sad music makes you feel good. So, I want Afrobeats to be the biggest genre in the world and I would love to be one of the leading artists.”

She disclosed that her dream music is Rihanna, Drake, Burna Boy, Beyoncé, Victoria Monét, Rema, Miley Cyrus, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler The Creator.
