Rising African Pop Sensation Tyla on Crossing Genres + Cultures, & The Rise of Amapiano

WNTTLK (We Need To Talk)

Step into the vibrant world of South African music with Tyla, the songbird whose melodies are as enchanting as the diverse landscapes of her home country. She doesn't just sing; she tells a story woven with the threads of her eclectic upbringing and the pulsing beats of Amapiano that have taken the world by storm. As Tyla recounts her dazzling journey from the academic halls to the glittering lights of the Grammy week, rubbing shoulders with the likes of SZA and Miguel, it becomes clear that her voice is a bridge between worlds, a melody of dreams realized.
The tapestry of our conversation is rich with the colors of Tyla's aspirations, from her heart-thumping debut success to the thrilling anticipation of her next project that promises to be a mosaic of sounds and African flair. She lets us peek behind the curtain at her creative collaborations with global music maestros and her love affair with cinema, from horror flicks to Disney princess dreams. And as we traverse the rhythms of her life, from her family's influence to the vibrant nuances of South African culture, Tyla's story unfolds not just as an artist's narrative but as a beacon of inspiration, a symphony of an African pop sensation in the making.
