Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In the past several days Tyla has solidified her position as one of Africa’s biggest exports with a rapid-fire series of achievements and headline-making appearances. Her August kicked off with a global music win when the Recording Industry Association of America certified two of her singles Jump and Push 2 Start from her debut album gold in the US after topping 500000 units in sales and streams. As reported by Daily News these tracks, the latest to go gold after her three-times platinum Water and the already gold Truth or Dare, are also climbing internationally, reaching platinum status in Brazil and New Zealand while striking gold in Canada and Greece and earning silver in the UK. Push 2 Start especially has shot up the charts, fueled by a viral music video and a remix with Sean Paul that cemented Tyla’s crossover appeal and amplified the song’s dancehall cred.
Simultaneously Tyla’s live show demand continues to explode. She just added a new date at Pretoria’s SunBet Arena set for January 18 after her South African tour dates sold out in minutes. Music In Africa reports Tyla’s elation at pushing African music global and credits her Grammy-winning Water—a song that reigned at number one for a record-breaking 52 weeks on the Billboard Afrobeats chart—as the catapult for her success. Internationally her A-list collaborators and magnetic stage energy are now industry legend, and she’s heading into 2025 with stadium-sized momentum.
On July 25 Tyla surprised fans with a new four-track EP WWP—standing for We Want to Party—her first project since her debut album, showcasing her knack for blending pop, RnB, Afrobeats, and sultry amapiano. Reviews from This Is RnB praise the sensual synergy especially on the Wizkid collab Dynamite. This new release was timed perfectly for a flurry of festival and tour announcements: she is set for Global Citizen Festival in New York alongside The Weeknd and Shakira and will headline her first-ever Asia tour through Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Manila, and Singapore later this year. The Asia tour, widely amplified on Tyla’s Instagram and corroborated by TimeOut Singapore and SoapCentral, has her trending across social media, where she also sits in the top 600 global influencers with nearly 12 million Instagram followers according to HypeAuditor.
Capping off her summer Tyla just bagged two major MTV Video Music Award nominations—Best Choreography and Best Afrobeats for Push 2 Start as TheYanos notes—a milestone placing her alongside global icons like Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar. Fans are celebrating her as the new African pop superstar to watch and if social buzz is any indication Tyla is nowhere near her peak. No major controversies or negative headlines have emerged and no speculation is swirling—just a wave of gold, platinum, and pure party energy.
