Starrah released her debut single "How It Goes" on August 12, 2020.[12][3]
Artistry
Starrah stated that she writes lyrics first, and then finds a melody and production to fit them.[5][6] In her early career, she was sometimes turned away from studio sessions for being "too urban", but later found success with urban crossover into mainstream pop music.[5]
Personal life
Due to a mixture of social anxiety and wishes for privacy, Starrah avoids being photographed and recognized in public.[5][6] Starrah identifies as queer.[5][13]
