Ayra Starr Says Busy Schedule Makes Her Feel Old at Just 21
Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has opened up about the toll her demanding career is taking on her, particularly how it affects her appearance and energy.
Despite being born in 2002, the rising star revealed that her hectic schedule has left her feeling far older than her years.
In a candid conversation during her visit to Nairobi, Kenya, Ayra Starr reflected on how she often meets people born in the 90s who appear more youthful and energetic than she feels.
“I’ve met people who were born in the 90s, and they’re so vibrant and full of life.
Meanwhile, I feel old, and I was just born in 2002,” she admitted, expressing her exhaustion from the fast-paced life of an artist.
The singer shared that, despite her youthful age, the pressures of constant performances, travel, and the demands of the music industry have taken a toll on her.
“I just want to stay home and sleep,” she added, hinting at how much she craves rest and relaxation.
Ayra Starr, who has quickly become a household name in the Afrobeats genre, also spoke about how this fast-paced lifestyle impacts her creative process.
As she continues to grow as an artist, she finds herself more in tune with her musical path.
“The more I make music, the more I recognize what my path is and what I’m trying to do,” she explained, indicating that her journey as a musician is a constant process of discovery and self-awareness.
The 21-year-old singer’s honest reflections highlight the pressures young artists face in the entertainment world, where the drive for success often comes at the expense of personal well-being.
Ayra Starr’s remarks shed light on the balance artists must find between their work and their need for rest, all while navigating the expectations of an ever-demanding industry.
