The 19-year-old Nigerian singer is a burgeoning Afro-Pop and R&B star whose charismatic music style inspires and empowers people, especially the marginalized.

The ’19 and Dangerous’ album by Ayra Starr features the chart-topping singles that have catapulted her to success.

Ayra is a talented, vivacious fashion killer and one of Nigeria’s most promising new voices on the rise. She sings with confidence, which pairs well with Gen-Z artists that are pioneering the kinds of sounds that younger audiences are responding to.

The EQUAL programme allows Spotify to praise only female creators exclusively, says Phiona Okumu, Spotify’s Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa.

“By implementing the EQUAL programme on Spotify, we want to be able to exclusively amplify the work of female creators,” says Spotify’s Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa, Phiona Okumu.

“We are creating a space on our platform solely to promote the works of female creators,” says Spotify’s Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa, Phiona Okumu.

“Ayra represents the rise of new-age female artists whose creativity and determination breaks barriers between genres. She possesses the boldness and swagger that we’re used to seeing from pop artists, but has an edge that feels symbolic of the listening habits of Gen-Zers. We aim to amplify more confident female voices like hers through EQUAL.”

Considering the gender dynamics in the music industry, Ayra was pleased to receive this recognition.

‘’It feels good to be a part of the generation that is changing the narrative and being appreciated for our contribution to society, irrespective of the sector and age. I’m grateful to Spotify EQUAL for this feature that shines a light on women in a male-dominated industry. It makes me feel seen, and I’m sure it’s done so for everyone who has been featured before me,” says Ayra Starr.
