Tyla: Queen Popiano makes history at the Grammys, "has an ambiguous affair" with Lisa

Tyla is known as a talented singer in the world music industry, making the fan community "crazy" when he had a surprise interaction with Lisa. The couple became close after the Victoria's Secret show.

Tyla's full name is Tyla Laura Seethal, born January 30, 2002, is a talented singer-songwriter and dancer and is known as the "Queen of Popiano" by the audience. Her musical style is extremely diverse, harmoniously combining many elements, from traditional African sounds (Afrobeat) to modern melodies of pop, R&B and Amapiano.

Tyla grew up in a family of Indian, Mauritian, Zulu and Irish descent in Johannesburg, South Africa. The singer graduated from Edenglen High School in 2019. During her final year there, she began pursuing a music career by posting original songs and covers on Instagram and actively seeking opportunities in the music industry as a Head of Culture.

Tyla was discovered by her first manager, Garth von Glehn, who also arranged her first recording sessions. The 2002-born singer says she spent every weekend of her senior year of high school in the recording studio.

In late 2019, after earning her high school diploma, Tyla collaborated with Kooldrink to release her debut single, "Getting Late," which was a nationwide success. The product was recorded by her own manager, during the country's lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the same time, Tyla attended school to study for a degree in Mining Engineering but tried to convince and "cried a lot" to get her parents to agree to let her take a year off to try to revive her music career. She then signed a recording contract with Epic Records through a joint venture with Fax Records in the United States in May 2021.

That same year, Tyla's career really took off when the music video for the song "Getting Late" was released and quickly became a musical phenomenon not only in South Africa but all over the world. Continuing her success, she released the singles "Overdue" in October 2021 and "To Last" in November 2022.

Tyla's first public performance was in 2023 at a Dolce & Gabbana after-party at Milan Fashion Week, following the release of her single "Been Thinking", which earned her her first Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay chart entries.

Pitchfork's Heven Haile described "Been Thinking" as "a slick club theme song, channeling the seductive pop-R&B hits of Ciara and Rihanna in the mid-2000s". Tyla later collaborated with Chris Brown as the opening act for his Under the Influence tour.

In May 2023, the singer released the single "Girl Next Door", featuring Nigerian singer Ayra Starr. In July of the same year, she released the song "Water" as the lead single from her self-titled debut studio album.

Thanks to "Water", Tyla conquered global audiences and affirmed her position on the international stage. This song not only made waves in the singer's home country but also entered the top 10 in many other countries, including major music markets such as the UK and the US.

In particular, "Water" made history as it became the first song by a South African solo artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years and won the Best African Music Performance category at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

Tyla also made history as the youngest African artist to win a Grammy. In addition, the 2002-born singer also owns a series of other prestigious awards, including an MTV Video Music Award, two BET Awards, and an honorary Global Force Award at Billboard R&B.

Additionally, Tyla has been nominated for prestigious awards such as the Brit Award, Ivor Novello Award, Soul Train Music Award, and has been honored with nine South African music awards.

Tyla's self-titled debut album was released on March 22, 2024, through Fax and Epic Records. The single "Art" and its accompanying music video were released alongside the album, earning Tyla widespread critical acclaim and charting within the top 25 in the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

Recently, Tyla's fans expressed excitement when the pop star shared a photo with Lisa, a member of the famous girl group BLACKPINK, after the Victoria's Secret show.

Meanwhile, the Thai-born female idol also posted some intimate photos of herself and Tyla on the social media platform, with the caption: "The right way to end the night in NYC". In just a short time, her post was widely circulated and hotly discussed.

Even in an interview, Tyla did not hesitate to reveal that Lisa is her favorite member of BLACKPINK and feels excited to work with.

"Lisa brought something new to the group, which was great. The way you rap, the way you move, and the way you dress is great. My best friend and I will watch those videos all the time," the singer showered praise on the Thai beauty.

Whether or not Lisa and Tyla will collaborate on music remains to be seen. But many fans are looking forward to the explosion of two big names in the music industry. Because if this dynamic duo forms a piece, it will definitely be iconic.
