Singer-songwriter Tyla Laura Seethal, better known by her stage name Tyla, is a native of South Africa. Even though Tyla speaks a lot of languages, let’s talk about how many languages she knows.
In 2021, after the success of her home video for her debut single “Getting Late” featuring Kooldrink, she signed with Epic Records. She grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she was born.
Tyla gained international recognition after her 2023 single “Water” became the first song by a South African soloist to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years and a top ten hit in twelve countries, including the UK and Australia.
She’s been shortlisted for two South African Music Awards and one Soul Train Music Award. Following the release of her single “Been Thinking,” which resulted in her first-ever chart placements on the Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay charts, Tyla made her stage debut at the Dolce & Gabbana afterparty during Milan Fashion Week in 2023.
Pitching a “slick club anthem that channels the seductive pop-R&B hits of mid-2000s Ciara and Rihanna,” Heven Haile of Pitchfork described it.
On October 7, 2023, three days after it was released, the accompanying music video received three million views on YouTube. The song “Girls Need Love” by Summer Walker was then remixed to feature Tyla. This version was made available as a part of the latter’s Girls Mix extended play in October 2023.
