Ayra Starr achievements

At the very moment, Ayra Starr has been nominated for the Next Rated category of the Headies Awards, to slug it out against BujuRuger and Zinoleesky. A position she earned following her release of two successful and well-received projects which both came in at top ten on Notjustok's albums of the year for 2021.

Off the back of her debut album, 19 & DangerousAyra Starr secured a hit single in Bloody Samaritan and a huge milestone by becoming the first solo entry by a female artist to peak at number one on the Turntable Charts. 

Altogether, these wins and more have culminated in Ayra being one of the most successful teenage acts in the history of Nigerian music. 

Happy International Women's day to all women out there making a change in the music industry. This list in no way captures the full strides and strife of Nigerian female musicians, so we'll love to hear from you on other stories of how Nigerian female musicians have broken a record or two or more or impacted the industry in their own way.
