Ayra Starr Discusses Her Experiences And Lessons Learned From Her Global Tour

Ayra Starr recounts amusing and unexpected experiences from her global tour, whilst reflecting on the knowledge she has gained.

Ayra Starr is proving that not every stage moment involves screaming fans, and she’s totally comfortable with that.

The Afrobeats star, who has gained popularity quickly, discussed life on tour in a recent interview with Capital XTRA and also shared some amusing recollections from performing globally.

She remembered her experience in Australia with a wide smile, stating the audience was immediately in her favour. Australia was in good condition. Ayra was deeply loved by them.

However, the tour’s direction took a sharp turn when it arrived in the American Midwest. The singer admitted that the people in the audience were not entirely aware of her identity. She laughed, stating that in America, the Midwest region is what it resembled, and she had never been known to them before. To illustrate the scene, she described a girl in the front row eating pizza as if it were just an ordinary evening, completely unaffected by her presence.

Ayra Starr viewed it instead as an integral part of her personal growth. It feels like I’m being prepared by a higher power. There is no place where I am unable to perform. I am capable of entertaining at 90-year-old birthday celebrations. I am capable of performing anywhere. I will behave myself.

She concluded by commenting on the contrast between fans who can recite her songs from memory and those who simply stare blankly.

This is all about the journey for Ayra, demonstrating that she has the ability to bring her energy and charm to any stage, whether it’s a stadium in Australia or a quiet corner in the American Midwest.
