Her debut album, TYLA, has officially surpassed 1.3 billion streams on Spotify, cementing her status as one of the most streamed African artists ever. Talk about a global takeover!
Water has been a global hit and its catchy rhythm and signature Amapiano beats have grabbed the ears of listeners from all corners of the earth, sending it soaring to the top of international charts. But that’s not all—Water earned Tyla a Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance, a historic win for both her and the genre.

Tyla’s rise from a Johannesburg dreamer to a global sensation has been nothing short of amazing. Her album TYLA shattered expectations and boundaries, making her a household name worldwide. To top it up, her pop-up shows in Johannesburg, South Korea, Japan, and London were pure fire! Each spontaneous performance left fans screaming for more.
“I’ve always dreamed of this,” she shared in a recent interview. “Seeing my music resonate with so many people across the world is surreal. I’m just a girl from Jo’burg who wanted to make music, and now here we are.”
