Nigerian singer and songwriter Ayra Starr has opened out about her path to success in the music industry.
Ayra Starr talked about how she has always tried to improve and looked back on her early performances in her documentary “Dare to Dream” available on Amazon Music.
She emphasised the need of reviewing her previous films, pinpointing her areas of weakness, and setting up time to practice and hone her skill.
Ayra Starr talked about her passion in theatre production as well, mentioning that she has studied the field to improve her acting.
She credited her success to her relentless drive and self-imposed pressure, stating that it has been essential to her growth and achievements.
In her words:
“I’m here today; I’m coping and I’m doing well but I feel like being my biggest critic has been what has brought me here so far; that’s what has made me who I am right now.”
“Looking back at my first performance, I can laugh Vs where I am right now. It’s always like I can become way better. I always watch my old videos and I’m writing things I can do better and how I can sharpen my choreography. Definitely sharpen my choreography, a bigger stage production”.
“I know I can sing and dance at the same time and that is easy for me but I make sure I have enough time to rehearse. I know what I want and I know certain things, like lights. I’m literally a stage producer at this point. I’ve studied it.”
“You just have to be strong and putting that pressure on myself has definitely brought me here, and I’m cool with that as long as I get what I want.”
