A French DJ and record producer, David Guetta, says the London and Los Angeles music industry sees Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr as the new Barbadian-American icon Rihanna. Do you think he is correct


Grammy Award-winning French music producer David Guetta took time to hail Nigerian fast-rising star Ayra Starr.
The music guru stated that Ayra Starr had the ability to dominate across the globe due to her distinctive sound and charisma.


Guetta recently featured the Mavin singer in his hit single, Big Fu, alongside American rapper Lil Durk. The Grammy-winning French music producer David Guetta has revealed how the music world in the United States and the United Kingdom perceives Nigerian singer Sarah Aderibigbe, better known by her stage name Ayra Starr.

In an interview with Cool FM, the multi-platinum-selling French singer, who recently collaborated with the Mavin diva on his new single Big Fu, discussed the current state of Ayra Starr's reputation in the Western music industry. He stated that Ayra's distinctiveness was unparalleled, and her artistic delivery between diverse cultures was easy and fluent.
He said it wasn't just a matter of talent because working with her in the studio allowed him to see her potential and determine that she was also capable of incredibly big feats.

"Since we recorded, she is having even more hits. It's crazy. I'm French. I was in Paris, and everyone was talking about her. I was shocked like, 'This is amazing. An African artiste that's killing it in Europe, killing it in the U.S, it's not every day. Last time I saw it was working with Akon," he said.

He commended her ability to transcend various cultures with her music, potentially noting her increasing success and popularity.

“When people speak about Ayra Starr in the [music] industry, like LA (Los Angeles) people and London people, a lot of us see her as the new Rihanna. Because she comes with a vibe that is very specific because of where she’s coming from. But she has the potential of crossing over into different cultures,” he said.

The DJ thinks Ayra’s distinctive musical style is a key factor in captivating a global audience.

In early 2021, Starr achieved mainstream recognition with her debut extended play and its hit track “Away.”

The 21-year-old singer, who is signed with one of Nigeria’s leading record labels, Mavin Records, rose to fame with the release of her debut self-titled extended play (EP), “Ayra Starr,” which was released in January 2021.

Her music is characterized by a unique blend of relatable lyrics and catchy melodies. You can Mp3 Download some of her music online on her official apple music or on SouthyBox
