Tyla Laura Seethal, known more popularly by her stage name Tyla, is one of the most iconic Gen Z faces in the 21st-century music scene. The 23-year-old singer signed with Epic Records in 2021 after her debut single, “Getting Late,” achieved immense domestic success in 2019.
But Tyla’s 2023 viral single “Water” cemented her as one of the most sought-after talents in the global music industry in recent years. The song debuted at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100. Eventually, it made Tyla the highest-charting African female solo artist in Billboard history when the track peaked at number 7 on January 13, 2024.
Needless to say, 2024 was a great year for Tyla. That year, she won the Grammy for Best African Music Performance, making her the youngest African artist in history to win a Grammy Award.
