The 30th celebration of the ESSENCE Festival of Culture will be held from July 4th to 7th in New Orleans, and our very own Ayra Starr is set to light up the stage!
Ayra Starr, the 21-year-old Afropop sensation, is making Essence a part of her world tour. Born in Cotonou, Benin, and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Ayra has quickly become a star in the music world. Discovered by Don Jazzy, she soared to fame with her debut single “Away” and her breakthrough album “19 & Dangerous,” which features the hit “Bloody Samaritan”—making her the first female artist to top Nigeria’s TurnTable Top 50 chart. – @essencefest (IG)
Ayra’s sophomore album, “The Year I Turned 21,” showcases her unique blend of Afropop and R&B, her multilingual talent, and her fashion-forward style. At just 22, she is already making waves globally.
Get ready to witness Ayra Starr’s electrifying performance at ESSENCE Festival’s 30th anniversary on Saturday, July 6th. It’s going to be an unforgettable night!
