Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the past several days Tyla has once again proven why she is one of the world’s most in-demand artists and cultural tastemakers. The biggest headline is her just-announced feature on Cardi B’s highly anticipated Am I the Drama? album which drops this Friday. According to The Nollywood Reporter Tyla is the only African artist on the record sharing billing with names like Summer Walker Selena Gomez Kehlani and Janet Jackson. This collab further cements her global crossover power and comes as Tyla recently hit an extraordinary milestone—over 3 billion Spotify streams across all her credits a first for a South African musician. Cardi B’s team has blitzed press and social about the project and expectation is sky-high for Tyla’s contribution.

Not content to dominate music news Tyla dazzled at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show held October 15 in New York. As reported by AOL she performed “Water” and “Push 2 Start” in truly celestial style donning custom feathered wings and a glimmering outfit that held its own against the lineup of supermodels. Her wardrobe continues to spark headlines after her unforgettable Met Gala sand dress and a neon yellow look at the last MTV VMAs. At those same 2025 MTV Awards Tyla stunned once more this time in a tiny beige minidress while picking up nominations for Best Afrobeats Song and Best Choreography for “Push 2 Start.” Her bold winner’s speech again sparked conversation about the representation of African genres in global pop but Tyla made clear to British Vogue her true intentions—celebrating and elevating diverse African music beyond just Afrobeats.

Recent interviews with People magazine reveal Tyla is still recovering from a serious back injury that forced her to cancel her 2024 world tour but her return to high-profile performances points to a diligent physical therapy regimen and renewed energy for live shows. She’s teased that new music is underway reflecting her growth over a whirlwind year and calls her recent pause a blessing in disguise a chance to evolve on her own terms.

She has been all over television social media and festival bills as well. Tyla just headlined the Kids’ Choice Awards and appeared on the official Smurfs movie soundtrack alongside Rihanna and DJ Khaled according to Parade. She’s also set to headline the Dubai-based SOLE DXB 2025 festival in December per Hotel and Catering News. With more than a billion streams for “Water” a Grammy for Best African Music Performance and back-to-back MTV wins Tyla is writing milestones into the pop history books and showing no signs of slowing down.
