South African superstar Tyla has once again outshone Africa’s biggest names on the global stage after clinching the Best African Music Performance award at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, beating heavyweights Davido, Ayra Starr and Burna Boy.
The singer, born Tyla Laura Seethal, won the category with her hit single Push 2 Start, marking her second Grammy victory in as many appearances.
She previously made history in 2024 with Water, becoming the first artist to ever win the newly introduced category. This latest triumph now makes her the first act to take home the award twice.
The ceremony, held in Los Angeles, came shortly after Tyla celebrated her 24th birthday, adding a personal milestone to an already remarkable career moment for the South African star.
Tyla edged out stiff competition from Burna Boy’s Love, Davido and Omah Lay’s With You, Ayra Starr and Wizkid’s Gimme Dat, as well as Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin’s Hope & Love, underlining her growing dominance in the African and global music scene.
Released on 11 October 2024, Push 2 Start became one of Tyla’s standout records and served as the lead single for TYLA +, the deluxe edition of her self-titled debut album.
The song highlighted her signature “Popiano” sound, a polished fusion of Amapiano, pop and R&B that has come to define her artistry.
