Rihanna highlighted that Ayra Starr’s deep voice has a unique appeal to both boys and girls, making her a versatile artist capable of reaching a broad audience. The Barbadian superstar confidently stated that she has no doubt Ayra Starr will dominate the global music scene with her distinctive voice.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Ayra Starr shared details of her conversation with Rihanna during their meeting at the Authentic Woman event in the UK.

The ‘Rush’ crooner recounted the experience: “We [Rihanna and I] got to hang out after the event. Just spending time with my idol, the person that inspired me to do all of this, was the most amazing thing. She gave me so many pointers and advice.

“I love my voice, but I know I have a very deep voice. People often wonder, ‘Is that a man?! Is that a boy?!’ Rihanna told me, ‘You have the type of voice that can take over the males and take over the girls. You are here to take over both sides of the industry.’

“I was like, ‘You think so?’ She said, ‘Yes! Yes!’ I responded, ‘Thank you so much!’ She emphasized, ‘That’s your superpower.’ I replied, ‘I never thought of it like that. Thank you.’ She just put everything into perspective for me.”
