In what will be known as a groundbreaking moment for South African music, Tyla, the south African singer, has brought home the first-ever Grammy for Best African Performance.
The coveted accolade was bestowed upon her for the chart-topping sensation, ‘Water’, yesterday.
The Grammy Award Premiere Ceremony, held at the prestigious Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, served as the platform for this monumental triumph.
At 22, Tyla stands tall among the competition, triumphing over other notable contenders whose stellar performances could not give them the win. Many of her competitors included Davido’s ‘Unavailable,’ Asake’s ‘Amapiano,’ Burna Boy’s ‘City Boys,’ and Ayra Starr’s ‘Rush‘ – all vying for the same honour.

Tyla’s meteoric rise has been accompanied by a fervent desire for excellence, evident in her recent Grammy nominations. Her commitment to musical excellence was echoed in a statement where she expressed the daily prayer to secure the prestigious Grammy accolade.

This strategic move undoubtedly played a pivotal role in propelling ‘Water’ to the Grammy-winning heights it has now achieved.
Reflecting on the significance of this victory, Tyla joins the ranks of global icons who have graced the Grammy stage. This milestone not only elevates her status but also serves as an inspiration to budding artists across the African continent.
