Nigerian Songstress, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe widely known as Ayra Starr has recounted how her mathematics teacher in secondary school predicted that her record label, Mavin would sign her.
The ‘Rush’ crooner revealed this while speaking during the recent edition of “Afrobeats Intelligence” with Joey Akan.
Ayra Starr said that her math instructor believed in her skill and predicted that she would be signed by Mavin one day.
She was only 14 years old at the time, and she was inspired to join the choir and develop her singing because he believed in her.
The teacher also pushed her to post her recordings online for others to view.
Years later, she got signed to Don Jazzy’s musical label, Mavin, just as he foretold.
In her words;
“I have a teacher that literally inspired me. He said I was going to be signed to Mavin. It’s crazy. I was 14 then, and he said, ‘Mavin is going to sign you. Start making videos.’ He would just inspire me. He was even Muslim, but he would tell me to go to church and join the choir. He was my math teacher.”
