Ayra Starr opens up about how she handles emotional moments on stage.
Nigerian singer and songwriter Ayra Starr revealed how she controls her emotions when performing live in a recent interview with Cool FM.
The Mavin princess acknowledged that she frequently turns to sobbing for comfort and emphasized how often she cries during difficult times.
In the interview, Starr disclosed, “I feel like I cry every time. I’m very emotional, and I like to let it out. One minute I’m crying, and the next I’m on stage like yeah, and nobody knows I just finished crying.”
The singer continued her story, sharing a particularly trying time when she was sick and had to deal with a lot of problems during a performance.
“I can’t remember what show it was exactly, but there was one where I was having issues with sound and I was having cramps and I also felt sick. But I told myself that “‘ have to give them a good show,'” said Ayra Starr.
Despite these challenges, she was determined to deliver a memorable performance for her fans.
She added, “People were tweeting and girls were DM-ing me their skirts. Everyone was excited to see me, but I didn’t feel like I was going to give them a great show, and I was sad, and it took me a lot to leave my bed and come up on that stage, and I was crying so much.”
Ayra Starr also emphasized the value of her mother’s support in these situations. She described how she contacted her mother, who gave her comforting words of assurance. The singer related a time when, amid difficult circumstances, her mother advised her to return home.
“My mum was the first person I called. My mum would always answer even at 3 am Nigerian time. And she’d be like ‘If it’s like that come home, nobody send you work.’ And I was in Australia and I told her ‘I can’t come home, I’m in Australia,'” she narrated.
The singer claimed that, in spite of her problems, she was still able to provide an incredible performance.
