Nigerian singer and songwriter Ayra Starr has credited her success to her relentless self-criticism and dedication to improvement.
In her “Dare to Dream” documentary by Amazon Music, Ayra Starr discussed how being her own harshest critic has significantly contributed to her career growth.
She said, “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.”
Reflecting on her early performances, she emphasized her constant self-evaluation.
“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,” she said.
The Grammy-nominated artist also highlighted her dedication to improving her craft, noting that she even studied 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,” she explained.
Ayra Starr concluded, “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.”
