Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tyla has owned headlines and social media feeds over the past days, making waves on every continent with the kind of pop-cultural heat only a genuine global star can bring. Kicking off with music: Tyla just dropped her new EP WWP, standing for We Wanna Party, on July 25. Critics at ThisIsRNB call it a dance party in EP form, with standouts like the sultry Bliss and Dynamite, a sizzling Afrobeats duet with Wizkid. Dynamite’s music video teaser, released August 2 and set for its full premiere on Monday, has whipped fans into an online frenzy, with Tyla and Wizkid teasing choreography and chemistry tailor-made for TikTok virality, according to That Grape Juice. If there’s one headline for her summer, it’s Tyla's full-fledged artistic comeback and dancefloor domination.
Not to be outdone by her streaming stats, Tyla’s public appearances have wowed the press. She returned to the Met Gala in New York this May and instantly became one of the night’s most talked-about guests, turning heads with a custom diamond-studded Jacquemus gown and a dramatic blonde pixie cut reveal pulled off with the help of celebrity stylist Law Roach and Pandora jewels. AOL and Vogue’s coverage painted Tyla as a full-fledged fashion icon, tying her look to the Met’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. She’s also been making electrifying festival appearances, from Governors Ball in New York—the first after recovering from an injury that sidelined her last year, as reported by Rap-Up—to upcoming headliner slots at Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this September alongside The Weeknd and Shakira.
Asia is buzzing too. Tyla just announced her first We Wanna Party Asia tour, with major dates in Singapore on December 5 at Arena @ EXPO, and another Manila show that ABS-CBN says follows a year packed with Met Gala and festival stops. Tickets are hotly anticipated, with presales lighting up social channels and her Instagram Story exploding as she dropped the news herself, per SoapCentral.
Music accolades keep coming. Her earlier hit Jump—featuring Skillibeng and Gunna—was just certified Gold in the US and several other countries, riding high off TikTok dance virality, chart peaks, and a scorching BET Awards live performance, as confirmed by DancehallMag. Meanwhile, Tyla’s recent Voice finale appearance earned her praise for a sultry medley of Water and Truth or Dare, with vibrant African dance moves making headlines on PopFiltr. On social media, Tyla herself told fans via Instagram that she’s experimenting more than ever with genre and style, hinting she’s nowhere near done evolving. If the last few days prove anything, it’s that Tyla is not just back—she’s setting the pace for global pop’s next chapter.
