I Had Writer’s Block For Six Months – Ayra Starr Reveals Why ‘The Year I Turned 21″ is Special

Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, also known as Ayra Starr, a well-known Nigerian singer and songwriter, recently shared her experience with writer’s block.

She revealed that she faced difficulties in writing songs for six months until a friend gifted her the demo of her song ’21’ from her latest album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ which helped her overcome the block.

“I got the demo of ’21’ from a friend as a birthday gift the day I turned 21,” She said in a viral podcast interview.

“I had told him that it has been so hard… I was having a writer’s block for six months. I couldn’t write about myself then he gave me the first version of the song in a demo as my birthday gift. Recording ’21’ was quite easy for me, I did it in one-take. I was even lying down with the mic in my hand.

“’21’ is special because it is what opened my mind to the rest of the album. With ’21’ I started to see myself again the way I wanted to see myself.”
