French music producer and popular DJ, David Guetta has predicted that Nigeria music diva Ayra Starr could be the next big global star.
Guetta, who was speaking during an interview via Skype with Cool FM Lagos, said Ayra Starr has a distinct vibe and would readily adapt to different cultures.
“When people speak about Ayra Starr in the [music] industry, a lot of us see her as the new Rihanna,” David Guetta said.
“Due to her unique background, she exudes a distinct vibe when she arrives. She could, however, be able to adapt to other cultures.
“Since we recorded, she has had even more hits. It’s crazy. I’m French. I was in Paris and everyone was talking about her. I was shocked like, ‘This is amazing. An African artist that’s killing it in Europe, killing it in the U.S, it’s not everyday. Last time I saw it was working with Akon.”
Ayra Starr was recently nominated by the Grammy Awards board for the Best African Music performance, she will be contesting the awards with the likes of Davido, Burna Boy and Olamide.
