"6 years ago this used to be me selling vegetables and fruits with my grandmother singing to whoever wanted to hear me, now people are paying to watch me perform," wrote the 21-year-old artist.
She in part added how blessed she felt to have made it being noting that she did not take it for granted.
"{I} will forever be grateful for where I am in my life, God really blessed me," the last of her post read..
Ayra Starr made her breakthrough back in 2021 with the release of her debut self-titled extended play, featuring the chart-topping track ‘Away.’ This success followed her getting signed to Mavin Records, literally opening doors to the beginning of her promising and fulfilling music career.
