She is a graduate of psychology from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where she finished as the best graduating student in her faculty with first class honors. Estar started singing at the age of three, her mother tells her. She started with loud and high pitched tones that disturbed her elder brothers a lot at the time. She started writing and composing her own songs at eleven when she picked up a few chords on the guitar. At 14, she represented Nigeria at a children’s congress held at the United Nations in New York. In 2005, she formed a duo known as Resonance.
