Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This week Tyla dominated headlines as she was celebrated as one of Variety’s three cover stars for their Power of Young Hollywood issue, marking her as a global force among rising talent. She stole the show at Variety’s Los Angeles event in a bold baby blue two-piece from PALOMO’s Resort 2026 collection and used the moment on the red carpet to tease her next album, promising a project even more personal and unexpected than her debut. Her recent EP WWP, released in late July, is still generating buzz, led by the high-profile track Dynamite featuring Wizkid. Tyla raved to Variety about collaborating with Wizkid, calling it a breakthrough moment for culture and herself as a lifelong fan. The pair’s cinematic music video for Dynamite, directed by Nabil, dropped just days ago and was quickly hailed as a summer anthem by The Music Universe, with fans flooding social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok to celebrate the collaboration. The excitement spilled over as Tyla simultaneously announced her first Asia tour, including her Bangkok debut on November 14, a milestone she shared directly with fans via Instagram.

Tyla’s star turn hasn’t been limited to music—she’s fronting Nike’s Fall 2025 Air Max Muse campaign, putting her at the center of a global fashion conversation according to Dscene. The sneaker campaign—with Tyla describing the design as blurring the line between athletic and streetwear—underscores her impact as both a style and music icon. She also contributed original music with Everything Goes Blue to the Smurfs soundtrack alongside Rihanna, Cardi B, and DJ Khaled, sharing her excitement in an interview with Parade and reflecting on her Kids’ Choice Awards hosting gig in June.

However, Tyla hasn’t shied from serious topics, speaking out in Variety about ongoing discourse regarding her self-identification as a Coloured woman from South Africa, a label that has ignited heated debate on social media and major platforms. After renewed scrutiny from an old viral Breakfast Club interview and widespread discussion on platforms like The Jasmine Brand, Tyla reiterated her pride in both her multiracial background and her identity as a Black woman, using her growing platform to prompt wider conversations about race and representation. Through her headline performances at international festivals, chart-topping releases, major brand partnerships, and willingness to address complex personal stories, Tyla continues to solidify herself as a defining cultural figure of her generation, commanding attention not just for her talent, but for her unfiltered and fearless rise.
