Nigerian singer and songwriter Ayra Starr has appeared in over forty music videos, including as a lead artist, featured performer, and in ensemble collaborations. She has also released several official performance videos and made appearances in film and television. Starr made her screen debut in 2019 as the love interest in Eri Ife's music video for "Dear Future Wife," prior to launching her music career with Mavin Records. She began her solo visual discography in 2021 with music videos for her breakout single "Away" and follow-ups "Sare" and "DITR" from her debut EP. That same year, she co-directed the music video for "Bloody Samaritan", the lead single from her debut studio album 19 & Dangerous (2021), which became the first solo number-one hit by a female artist on Nigeria's TurnTable Top 50. ^[1]

Starr's international recognition grew with the deluxe edition of 19 & Dangerous, particularly through the release of "Rush". ^[2] The song's music video amassed over 100 million YouTube views and contributed to her first Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance. ^[2] In 2023, she released the viral single "Sability" and continued her visual output with high-production videos from her second studio album The Year I Turned 21 (2024), including "Last Heartbreak Song", "Goodbye (Warm Up)", and "Bad Vibes". Starr has also issued official performance videos for several tracks, including "Commas", "Control" and "21." ^{[3] [4]}

Beyond music videos, Starr has ventured into televised appearances and acting. She made her U.S. television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in July 2024, performing a medley of "Last Heartbreak Song" and "Woman Commando". ^[5] Furthermore, she starred as herself in the Prime Video romantic comedy Christmas in Lagos , in a cameo alongside Adekunle Gold and Wurld. ^[6] In 2025, she was cast in Children of Blood and Bone , a fantasy film adaptation produced by Lucasfilm and Paramount Pictures, and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. Slated for a 2027 theatrical release, the film marks her first major role in a scripted narrative. ^[7]
