Ayra Starr draws inspiration from the deep roots embodied in Angelique Kidjo, the fierce confidence of Rihanna, '90s fashion trends and the edgy aesthetic of emo-pop.
Ayra Starr describes her musical style as afrosoul and presents it with a stirring voice reminiscent of an aspiring Gen Z queen. Their music combines influences from classical Yoruba and Beninese music as well as artists such as 2Face and Wande Coal. She speaks for a generation of young women around the world who feel united in their self-discovery, shaped by fear and expressed through emojis.
