Mavins record signee Ayra Starr has disclosed that her mentor and label head, Don Jazzy, swiftly offered her a contract within a mere three days.
Ayra Starr recounted how her journey to securing a deal with Mavin Records stemmed from her activity on social media, particularly through covering songs. She credited her mother for redirecting her focus from modelling to music, despite initial societal doubts about her potential in the modelling industry.
Reflecting on her past ambitions, Starr expressed pride in her determination to pursue modelling despite skepticism about her height, emphasizing her transition to prioritizing music.
Meanwhile, Ayra Starr attributed her current success to her younger self’s persistence and resilience, particularly recalling her engagement in song covers on Instagram, which her mother and peers encouraged.
Despite her initial reluctance and dissatisfaction with one of her cover videos, she followed an instinct to share it on social media, leading to Don Jazzy’s prompt interest and subsequent signing within a remarkably short span of three days.
Moreover, Ayra Starr emphasized her commitment to authenticity and self-expression in her artistry, highlighting her disregard for external opinions or standards of attractiveness. She stressed the importance of her personal feelings and perspectives in shaping her music, style, and overall identity.
Stressing her independence of thought, she credited her diverse upbringing for moulding her character while maintaining her individuality amidst various cultural influences. She, however, referenced writing the song “Asé” at the age of 15 as a testament to her early maturity and distinct mindset.
