About

Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe (; born 14 June 2002), known professionally as Ayra Starr ( EYE-rə-star), is a Beninese-born Nigerian singer-songwriter and producer.

In early 2021, Starr released her self-titled debut EP and its lead single, "Away". Her debut EP was followed by the release of her debut studio album, 19 & Dangerous (2021). The album appeared in year-end lists by publications such as NativeMag. The lead single, "Bloody Samaritan," became the first song by a solo female artist to reach the No. 1 position in the Top 50 charts. In August of that same year, Starr was ranked No. 3 on Billboard's Next Big Sound.

Starr achieved international recognition in 2022 with the release of her song "Rush" which charted in several countries, including Switzerland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The song earned Starr a nomination for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for Best African Music Performance. Her second studio album, The Year I Turned 21, was released in 2024, whereas her third studio album, Starr Girl, was released in August 2026.
