Tyla's Meteoric Rise: Pioneering Amapiano's Global Takeover

Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The past week has been a career milestone for Tyla, with her name dominating both music outlets and social feeds worldwide. Fresh off her Grammy win and continuing the historic hot streak from her self-titled debut, Tyla released a brand new project titled WWP—short for We Wanna Party—on July 25th, featuring four genre-defying tracks: Bliss, Is It, Dynamite, and Mr. Media. Critics and fans alike are already touting the mixtape as a defining moment in the international fusion of Amapiano, Afrobeats, and pop, and the new Wizkid-assisted single Dynamite is emerging as one of the most anticipated collaborations of the summer, having been teased at exclusive listening events in London and Berlin. Tyla has described WWP as an expression of euphoric enjoyment and cultural celebration, diving deep into her South African roots while aiming for global dancefloors according to Afrobeats Magazine and Clash Music.

Bliss, already featured in major campaigns like Coca-Cola’s Road Trip, comes packaged with a cinematic new music video and spawned the “Bliss” smoothie—an innovative Erewhon collaboration at Coachella from which proceeds benefit the 18twenty8 charity supporting young South African women. The singer’s Governors Ball and Coachella main-stage spots stayed in buzz for days, with clips circulating widely after she called the new direction a departure: “I don’t think it’s going to be the same energy at all, especially with what I’ve started making. It’s different, but also still Tyla,” she reflected on Instagram. On July 28th, The Jasmine Brand reported that Tyla addressed the pressure of her newfound global fame and the rapid pace of transformation in her career.

Social media has been ablaze as Tyla’s looks and influence spark viral moments, with Hollywood Life spotlighting her “ultimate 2010s fashion vibes.” On a slightly less glamorous note, Stereogum broke that on the same day as her new music release, Tyla found herself hit with a lawsuit over her breakout hit Water though details remain thin and so far unconfirmed by Tyla’s camp.

Looking ahead, Tyla shows no signs of slowing down: she’s been confirmed for massive public appearances at London’s All Points East festival on August 23rd and at the Global Citizen Festival in New York this September—a testament to her ever-expanding international profile. All told, this week has cemented Tyla as South Africa’s brightest new cultural export, her every move watched by fans, brands, and the industry at large.
