    Not satisfied with only releasing her self-titled EP, the singer went on to release her debut album, 19 & Dangerous, the following year.

    During an interview with Odda Magazine, Ayra Starr said that Nicki Minaj was a major influence on her as a child. She also described how she came up with her name.

    She said:

    “Ayra” was a name I looked up on Google when I was searching for a stage name as I didn’t want to use my birth name. Seeing the name after a long search had me say, “Eureka!” When I saw the meaning of “Ayra,” which means woke, respected, and eye-opening, I felt ecstatic. It finally felt like I found the missing piece of the puzzle. I chose “Starr” because I’m obviously a star — as I have always known myself to be — and I just added another [letter] “R” to make it unique. “Celestial Being” is what I describe myself as and it doesn’t necessarily have an influence on my persona as I don’t like being put in a box, but I’ll say it is who I am and I live up to it in my own celestial being standard.
