Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Ayra Starr, has in a recent interview revealed how one of her teachers projected into her future that Marvin record would one day sign her.

In her interview during the episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast hosted by Joey, Ayrra Starr who is notorious for thigh-length skirt disclosed that she was 14 years of age when one of her teachers, a Muslim, called her and inspiringly told her about how she was going to become a Marvin Record signee.

Interesting, she noted that the most powerful inspiration she got about the possibility of becoming a star was from a Muslim Teacher, Despite that she was devout Deeper Lifer.

The superstar revealed that she attended a Deeper Life School where she was constantly scolded for flouting the rules. The rules bordering on dressing. Although, innocently she challenged them too for stressing a limitation on how she would dress.

The ‘Sability’ crooner said her Mathematics teacher, a Muslim, not only encouraged her to join the choir but also prophesied that Mavin Records will sign her in the future.

She revealed that at age 16 she shared a video of her singing on social media and Mavin’s boss, Don Jazzy messaged her.

Her words read partly:
She said; “I went to a very religious school even though I was not from a religious family. I went to a Deeper Life school. It was a shock but I learned how to live with it. They [some of the teachers] used to beat me. I grew up in a household where we are allowed to speak our truth and ask questions. I can remember they [my teachers in school] will tell me like oh women are not allowed to wear trousers. I will be like, that’s not true. God did not say that. They will be like, ‘What do you know, you this small girl?’.

“I have a teacher that literally inspired me. He literally said I was going to be signed to Mavin. I was like 14 then and he was like, Mavin is going to sign you, start making videos. And he would just inspire me when I’m singing in school, he would be like, oh sing in the choir. And he was even Muslim but he would tell me to go to church and join the choir.”
