This is like, yeah, you really chowing. In the  buzzing streets of Johannesburg, South Africa,   where the city hums with energy and ambition, a  new voice began to rise. That voice belonged to   a young girl named Tyla. Born on January  30th, 2002 in the town of Edenale on the   East Rand. Tyla didn’t just dream of stardom.  She chased it with a fire that wouldn’t quit.

Today, that name Tyla has become a symbol of  unstoppable talent, resilience, and global   appeal. With catchy lyrics and a vibe that’s both  fresh and fearless, she’s captured hearts across   continents. But what’s life really like beyond the  stage lights and studio sessions? Let’s pull back   the curtain and take you inside Tyla’s world.

From  her glamorous lifestyle to the stunning home where   she unwinds, the sleek luxury cars that mirror  her success and the impressive fortune she’s   built through talent and hustle. This is more than  a story about music. It’s a journey of growth,   grit, and global impact. So, buckle up. We’re  diving in. Tyla’s rise wasn’t by chance. A gifted   singer songwriter with a sound that blends pop  with the smooth percussive rhythms of amapiano.

She helped to find what we now know as papiano and  earned the crown as its reigning queen. Her music   is more than catchy. It’s a cultural wave and fans  across the globe are riding it. And with that wave   comes success, a lot of it. Tyla is estimated  to be worth around $15 million.

And while she   keeps the exact figures private, the signs of  success are everywhere. Her income doesn’t stop   at streams and chart hits. She’s turned her social  media presence with over 11 million followers   on Tik Tok into a business empire. Brand deals,  endorsements, and sponsorships roll in regularly,   each one adding to her growing wealth.

On YouTube,  she’s already amassed four million subscribers,   and her monthly Spotify listeners have surged  past 15 million. Just from streaming platforms,   it’s estimated she brings in $100,000 every  month. And that’s before we talk about live   shows. A single performance can earn her between  $50,000 and $100,000 depending on the gig. But   Tyla’s story isn’t just about money. It’s about  milestones.

She recently landed a spot on Forbes   Africa’s 30 under30, a nod to her influence not  only in music, but in culture at large. With   high-profile collaborations alongside superstars  like Chris Brown and Travis Scott, Tyla is no   longer just an emerging talent. She’s a force  reshaping the future of pop. Her story reminds   us what happens when passion meets purpose.

From a  small town in South Africa to international charts   and massive stages, Tyla’s journey is just getting  started. And trust us, you’ll want to be along for   the ride. Tyla didn’t grow up in the spotlight.  In fact, her earliest chapters were written in   a quiet Johannesburg suburb, but her world was  anything but ordinary. Raised in a multicultural   home blending Indian, maritian, Zulu, and Irish  heritage, she was surrounded by a rich tapestry   of traditions, sounds, and stories.

It shaped  the way she saw life and more importantly, how   she heard it. Through her teen years in Gaoang,  she juggled the highs and lows of growing up, all   while quietly nurturing a dream bigger than the  boundaries around her. At Eden Glenn High School,   she wasn’t just another student. She stood out as  head of cultural affairs, already showing signs   of the creative force she was becoming.

By the  time she graduated in 2019, everyone could see   she had potential. But not everyone believed in  the path she wanted to take. Behind the scenes,   Tyla faced a major obstacle, her own parents.  Despite her obvious talent, her family had strict   rules, especially when it came to social media.  They didn’t want their daughter online and they   definitely didn’t think music was a real career.  “My parents basically said, “You have to study.

There’s no way you’re doing music.” She revealed  in a candid radio interview. They weren’t trying   to crush her dreams. They just wanted her to have  a stable future in an unpredictable industry. But   instead of giving up, Tyla lit a fire inside.

Her  home may have been off limits for career talk, but   it was never quiet. The sounds of Stevie Wonder  and Whitney Houston echoed through the house,   mixed with the afrobeat rhythms of Burnab Boy and  Whiz Kid. Those melodies stuck with her and slowly   started to shape her own. Fueled by passion,  teenage Tyla did what many dreamers do. She   got a little sneaky.

While her parents weren’t  watching, she quietly posted videos of herself   singing on YouTube and Instagram. One by one,  fans started to take notice. Her voice was too   undeniable to stay hidden. Eventually, her parents  came around. After all, how could they deny the   talent or the growing fan base? That turning  point changed everything. Enter G. Von Glenn,   a talent manager who saw something special  in Tyla.

He became her first real supporter   in the industry, helping her lock in her first  studio sessions. While most teens were spending   their weekends relaxing, Tyla was in the studio  recording, writing, and chasing something bigger.   And then came her breakout moment. In 2020, she  released her debut single, Getting Late, produced   by Cool Drink. It wasn’t just a song, it was a  statement.

The track exploded across South Africa,   signaling the arrival of a bold new voice in pop  and R&B. What’s even more impressive, the music   video shot during the strict COVID lockdown was  filmed by her manager with limited resources. Yet,   it captured exactly who she was. Creative, raw,  and ready. When it dropped in January 2021,   audiences connected instantly.

That song launched  Tyla onto the spotlight and eventually onto a   global stage. And to think it all started with  a girl, a dream, and a phone she hid from her   parents. Tyler’s career didn’t just take off, it  exploded. The moment her debut single, Getting   Late, hit the airwaves, everything changed. The  song was a breakout success. and its music video   filled with bold visuals and Tyler’s undeniable  charisma quickly racked up millions of views on   YouTube. People weren’t just listening, they were  paying attention. Then came the game changer.

In   May 2021, Tyler signed her first major US record  deal, a joint venture between Fax Records and Epic   Records. It wasn’t just a contract, it was  her official entrance into the global music   scene. She didn’t waste time. In the months that  followed, Tyler dropped more singles. Overdue in   October 2021 and To Last in November 2022.

Each  track showcased a deeper, more confident artist,   one who knew exactly where she was headed.  And the world was starting to notice. In 2023,   Tyla hit a new stride. She joined Chris Brown’s  Under the Influence tour as an opening act,   putting her in front of massive international  crowds. It was a huge step and the perfect   setup for what came next.

That May, she dropped  Girl Next Door, a sultry collab with Nigerian   star Iris Star. The song was smooth, intimate,  and another step forward in Tyler’s evolution   as a global artist. Then July 2023 happened  and with it, Water. This wasn’t just a hit,   it was the hit. With its hypnotic beat and Tyler’s  signature style, water blew up overnight. Fueled   by a viral Tik Tok dance challenge.

Suddenly,  everyone was moving to the beat and Tyler was   name on everyone’s lips. The song shot up the  charts, cracking the top 10 in South Africa,   the UK, and the US. And then she made history with  Water. Tyler became the first South African solo   artist in 55 years and the youngest ever to chart  on the US Billboard Hot 100. Following jazz legend   Hughes Messiella’s 1968 hit Grazing in the Grass.

She wasn’t just breaking into the mainstream, she   was rewriting the record books. The music video  for Water, released on October 6th, 2023, pulled   in 3 million views in just 3 days, proving her  global reach was no fluke. And as 2023 wrapped,   Tyla made another bold move, announcing her debut  album simply titled Tyla, set for release on March   22nd, 2024.

To build anticipation, she dropped  three new tracks, Truth or Dare, On and On,   and Butterflies, all part of an extended play  that teased the full album. Her live performance   of Water and Truth or Dare on The Voice season 24  finale in December was electric, cementing her as   not just a recording artist, but a powerful  performer. Then came the crowning moment. At   the 66th annual Grammy Awards in February 2024,  Tyler won the first ever Grammy for best African   music performance, a historic win for water.

In  that moment, she became not only a Grammy winner,   but the youngest African artist ever to take  home the award. It was the culmination of years   of hustle, heartbreak, and belief. Finally, on  March 22, 2024, her debut album, Tyla, dropped,   complete with stunning visuals and an unmistakable  sound that declared, “She’s here and she’s not   going anywhere.” Tyla’s debut album didn’t just  drop. It made waves.

Critics everywhere praised   it and it quickly landed in the top 25 charts in  both the US and the UK. A major statement that   this rising star was here to stay. But the real  magic happened closer to home. In South Africa,   Tyla’s influence was undeniable, leading the pack  with an impressive six nominations at the 18th   Metro FM Music Awards, more than anyone else that  year. Her momentum didn’t stop there.

At the 2024   BET Awards, she stood tall among music legends,  tying with heavyweights Usher and Victoria Monae   for the most awards won that night. The ceremony  held at the iconic Peacock Theater in Los Angeles,   was made even more unforgettable when Tyla took  the stage to perform Jump Live for the very first   time, joined by hip hop heavyweights Goona and  Skilly Bang, igniting the crowd and proving she’s   a force to be reckoned with. But now it’s time for  something even more personal. Something fans have

been waiting for. A glimpse inside Tyla’s private  world. Though she’s a global superstar, Tyla stays   deeply connected to her roots in Johannesburg,  Gaoeng. Her home isn’t just where she lives,   it’s her sanctuary. Away from flashing cameras and  constant attention, she finds peace in the simple   joys of everyday life. I love grounding myself and  coming back to my roots.

She shares, “It’s where I   recharge, where I’m just me, surrounded by family  and friends, free to live life on my own terms.”   For Tyla, this isn’t just a house. It’s a place of  comfort, creativity, and calm. A space where the   rising star can catch her breath before the next  big leap.

Imagine a retreat where luxury meets   comfort and space meets style. That’s exactly  what Tyler’s home offers. Set on a sprawling 4040   meter lot surrounded by quiet treeline streets,  this beautiful property feels like a peaceful   escape from the world, yet perfectly designed for  entertaining and making memories. Walk through   the front door and you’re instantly greeted  by an open, airy reception area where indoor   and outdoor living flow seamlessly together.

Massive windows flood the space with sunlight,   creating a warm, inviting vibe that feels both  elegant and laid-back. Every piece of furniture   has been carefully chosen to balance comfort  with a chic modern edge, setting the tone for   the rest of the house. Inside, you’ll find four  spacious bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms,   each thoughtfully designed to offer plenty of  room for family and guests alike.

There’s even a   private outdoor guest house fully equipped to make  visitors feel right at home. A perfect blend of   privacy and convenience. But Tyla’s real passion  shines through in the entertainment spaces. She’s   got a dedicated games room and an intimate pub  area, ideal spots for hosting big gatherings,   game nights, or just unwinding with friends and  family.

Step outside to the covered terrace,   a dream spot for alfresco dining that overlooks  stunningly landscaped gardens kept lush and   green thanks to a borehole irrigation system.  It’s a magical setting for outdoor dinners,   celebrations, or just soaking up the calm vibes.  And there’s more. A tennis court for active fun,   and a heated swimming pool that’s perfect for  summer parties or lazy afternoons under the sun.

Security and convenience are top priorities  here, too. The home features five garages,   plus two staff rooms with onsuite bathrooms,  ensuring everyone has their own space. The elegant   slate roof adds not only style but strength. While  solar panels provide an eco-friendly edge, a smart   choice, especially when power cuts hit. This isn’t  just a house.

It’s Tyla’s sanctuary where luxury,   nature, and community come together to create  something truly special. As Tyla continues to   shake up the music world, her home stays her  personal haven, a place where she can drop the   spotlight and just be herself. But let’s talk  about one of her other passions, cars. At the   heart of her stunning garage sits a true symbol of  style and power, the Mercedes Maybach S500.

This   isn’t just any car. Under the hood, it’s packing  a fierce 4 L V8 burbo engine that cranks out a   jaw-dropping 455 horsepower and 516 pound- feet  of torque. That means when Tyler hits the gas,   this luxury sedan rockets from 0 to 60 mph in  about 5 seconds. A smooth, thrilling ride that’s   all about power meeting precision. Step inside  and you’re wrapped in pure luxury.

The cabin   feels like a five-star lounge decked out with  buttery soft leather seats, elegant wood panels,   and premium materials everywhere you look and  touch. The seats don’t just look good, they’re   fully loaded with high-tech comfort features  like heating, ventilation, and even massage   options for both front and back passengers.

Every drive here is more than just getting   from A to B. It’s an experience, pure and simple.  On the flip side of luxury, Tyler also rolls with   the GMC Yukon Denali, a beast of an SUV that’s  all about versatility and muscle. Powered by a   robust 6 L V8 engine, this ride delivers around  420 horsepower and 460 pound- feet of torque,   giving her a perfect mix of power and practicality  when she needs it.

While it might not pack quite   the punch of the Maybach S500, the GMC Yukon  Denali still impresses with solid performance,   going from 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds. But  what really stands out is its design. Made for   families and adventure lovers alike. Inside the  cabin is decked out with premium leather seats and   genuine wood accents, creating a warm, inviting  vibe that feels both luxurious and practical.

Soft   touch surfaces add an extra layer of comfort,  turning every ride into a smooth, enjoyable   experience. The Yukon’s roomy interior is a major  bonus. Plenty of space for passengers and gear,   making it perfect for anyone who needs flexibility  on the daily. Tyla’s garage tells a story all on   its own. A perfect balance between sleek style and  everyday functionality.

It’s a clear reflection of   her refined taste and appreciation for the best  of both worlds. At just 22, Tyla has already   made a huge splash in the music scene. But when  it comes to her personal life, she keeps things   pretty low-key. Like many young stars, she values  her privacy, navigating fame while trying to hold   on to a sense of normaly.

As of 2024, Tyla has  been open about her relationship status or lack   thereof. On the podcast we need to talk, when  asked about the dating rumors that always seem   to swirl around her, she simply said, “I don’t  have a boyfriend.” straightforward and honest,   this clears up any speculation and gives a glimpse  into her life away from the spotlight. Even though   Tyla has been clear about being single, fans just  can’t help but speculate about her love life,   especially when it comes to a guy named Gio.

The  rumors really took off after Tyla and Gio were   spotted together in photos and videos, sparking  a lot of buzz about whether they’re more than   just friends. Not much is publicly known about  Gio, but he did make a cameo in Tyler’s music   video for Truth or Dare, which only added fuel  to the fire. Gio’s Instagram, where he goes by   the handle I O Gio, gives fans little glimpses  into his life.

Tyla follows him there, too,   and she recently posted a photo of him enjoying  Japan, the same trip she was on at the time.   These little coincidences have made fans wonder,  is there something going on behind the scenes?   Then there was the moment Tyler got linked to  Afro beat star Rema. Paparazzi caught them holding   hands after one of his concerts and the photos  blew up online, sending fans into a frenzy.

But   Tyla shut down the rumors on her podcast, saying  straight up, “Remma and I are just friends. We’re   not dating. Case closed for now.” And just  when the dating rumors seemed to calm down,   Travis Scott’s name popped up. The two  collaborated on a remix of Tyla’s hit song,   Water, and their chemistry in the music video had  everyone talking.

Things heated up even more when   they were spotted together at the 2023 GQ Men of  the Year Awards afterparty in LA. Still, neither   Tyla nor Travis has confirmed anything romantic,  leaving fans to keep guessing. Tyler’s name also   got tossed around in connection with Chris Brown  after she opened for him on his UK and European   tour in 2023.

Fans couldn’t help but wonder if  there was more going on, but Tyla has made it   clear they’re just friends and colleagues, nothing  more. In a world where celebrity relationships   often play out in the spotlight, Tyla has  managed to keep her private life just that,   private. As her career continues to skyrocket,  it’ll be interesting to see what her future holds,   both professionally and personally.

While the  rumors swirl, Tyler remains laser focused on   her music and the friendships she values most,  carving out her own path in this competitive   industry.
