Ayra Starr’s new Amazon Music documentary, Dare to Dream, provides an in-depth look at her journey as a global star, exploring her personal and professional life. The 23-minute documentary, which began production last year and premiered on August 1, 2024, follows Ayra Starr from her beginnings in Lagos to her sold-out shows and her attendance at the 2024 Grammy Awards, where she was nominated for Best African Music Performance.
The documentary reveals several key aspects of her life, including her Beninese-Nigerian heritage, the lack of support from her father for her musical career, her experience working with Don Jazzy, her strong-willed personality, and her past as a tailor and makeup artist. It also highlights her recognition as Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artist, marking her as the first Afrobeats artist to receive this honor.
