Tyla gained international recognition after the release of her 2023 single "Water", which entered the top ten in multiple countries including her native South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. "Water" was the first song by a South African soloist to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years and was awarded the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in 2024. The single preceded her self-titled debut album (2024), which was released to critical acclaim and moderate commercial success, entering the top 25 in multiple countries including the United States.

Tyla became the youngest African artist to win a Grammy Award, and has also earned nominations for a BRIT Award, a Soul Train Music Award, a MOBO Award, and two South African Music Awards. Tyla won the most awards at the 2024 BET Awards, tying with Usher and Victoria Monét. She was dubbed the "Queen of Popiano", a fusion of the pop and amapiano genres.

Early life

Tyla Laura Seethal [4] was born on 30 January 2002 in Edenvale, East Rand, [5] [6] to a Coloured family with Indian, [7] [8] Mauritian, Zulu, and Irish ancestry. [9] [10] [11] She grew up in Johannesburg, Gauteng, [12] and graduated from Edenglen High School in 2019, where she was the Head of Culture. [13] During her final year of high school, she began pursuing a career in music, posting original songs covers on Instagram and actively seeking out opportunities in the music industry. She was discovered by her first manager, Garth von Glehn, who organized her first recording sessions. [2] [14] Tyla stated that she spent every weekend of her final year of high school in the recording studio. [15]

In late 2019 after finishing high school, [7] Tyla self-released her debut single, "Getting Late" featuring production from Kooldrink, which achieved national success. [10] Filmed by her own manager intermittently throughout the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, [14] the accompanying music video was released in January 2021. [16] It amassed several million views on YouTube, [17] and was nominated for South African Music Award for Best Music Video of the Year in 2022. [18]

She had been studying towards a degree in mining engineering, [19] and after much persuasion and "a lot of crying", her parents had agreed to let Tyla take a year off university to attempt to lift her music career off the ground. [15] She then signed a recording contract with Epic Records through a joint venture with Fax Records in the United States in May 2021. [20] [21] She followed up her debut single with the singles "Overdue" in October 2021, and "To Last" in November 2022. [22] [23]

[27] [28] Heven Haile of Pitchfork described it as a "slick club anthem that channels the seductive pop-R&B hits of mid-2000s Ciara and Rihanna".

Tyla performed "Water" live on The Bianca Show in Sweden and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the United States. [38] [39] The music video for "Water" was released on 6 October 2023, it accumulated 3 million views on YouTube in three days. [40] Tyla was then featured on a remix version of "Girls Need Love" by Summer Walker, released as part of the latter's Girls Mix extended play in October 2023. [41] On the eve of December 2023, she announced the release of her debut studio album, Tyla (2024), and simultaneously released three songs: "Truth or Dare", "On and On" and "Butterflies", as promotional singles from the project on an extended play of the same name. [42] Tyla performed a medley of "Water" and "Truth or Dare" on the season 24 finale of The Voice on 19 December 2023. [43] At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2024, Tyla became the first person to win the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance with "Water", also becoming the youngest-ever African artist to win a Grammy Award. [44]

[52] Tyla received the most nominations at the 18th Metro FM Music Awards in South Africa, with six nods.
