Ayra Starr, a Grammy-nominated vocalist from Nigeria, expressed her ambition to become a top Afrobeats performer.
The 21-year-old went on to say that she hopes the genre becomes the most popular in the entire globe.
She said that Beyoncé, Rihanna, Drake, Burna Boy, Victoria Monét, Rema, Miley Cyrus, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler The Creator are the artists who inspire her in terms of music.
In a recent interview, she stated to Cosmopolitan UK, “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.”
