In a historic moment at the 66th Grammy Awards, South African sensation Tyla clinched the inaugural Grammy award for Best African Music Performance, making her mark on the global stage at just 22 years old.

The talented singer/songwriter, known for her hit single ‘Water,’ expressed her disbelief and gratitude upon receiving the prestigious accolade.

“What the HECK?! Oh my gosh, guys, this is crazy! I never thought I’d say I won a Grammy at 22 years old,” exclaimed Tyla as she took the stage to accept her award.

“If you don’t know me, my name is Tyla, I’m from South Africa, and last year God decided to change my whole life,” she added, visibly overwhelmed by the moment.

Acknowledging the significance of the milestone, Tyla thanked her team and the Recording Academy for introducing the category, which recognizes outstanding musical performances from the African continent.

Tyla’s victory in the highly competitive category saw her triumph over heavyweight contenders from the Afrobeats scene, including Burna Boy, Davido, Asake, Olamide, Ayra Starr, and fellow South African Musa Keys, who featured in Davido’s track “Unavailable.”
