Starkidmaker Shares New Single “Tired”

Rising Enugu-based artist Starkidmaker, also known as D Maker, has released his latest single, “Tired,” a deeply personal record centred on emotional exhaustion, endurance and finding strength through difficult moments.

Describing his sound as “healing through melodies,” Starkidmaker channels vulnerability into honest lyricism and melodic delivery, creating a song that speaks to listeners who have had to keep moving forward despite feeling overwhelmed.

“Tired” continues the artist’s approach of transforming personal pain into music designed to connect and heal, further establishing his identity within Nigeria’s growing South East music scene.

With a growing community of more than 11,500 followers on TikTok, where he shares his music and creative journey, Starkidmaker is steadily building a distinctive audience. “Tired” marks another step in that journey, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into the emotions behind his music.
