When I was 14, my maths teacher predicted Mavin would sign me, says Ayra Starr
Ayra Starr, the Afrobeats singer, says her mathematics teacher predicted she would be signed to Mavin Records, the music label.
In a chat with Joey Akan on the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, Ayra opened up about her teacher’s influence on her music career.
The ‘Bloody Samaritan’ crooner said her school teacher would “tell me to join the choir in church” despite the fact “he’s a Muslim.”
The songstress added that she was also urged to make short videos and share them on social media.
“I have a teacher that literally inspired me. He said I was going to be signed to Mavins. It’s crazy. Yes, I was like 14 then. He said ‘Mavin is going to sign you. Start making videos’,” she said.
“He would just inspire me when I am singing in school. He was a Muslim, yet he would tell me to go to church and join the choir. He was my maths teacher. Also my civic teacher.
“So Mr Saheed, Mr Yinka. God bless you guys.”
