Tyla made history at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, becoming the first artist to win the category twice since it was introduced
The 24-year-old clinched the prestigious award at the Crypto.com Arena, taking home the honour for her single “Push 2 Start.”
This marks Tyla’s second Grammy victory in the same category, following her first win in 2024 for the global hit “Water.” The milestone win cements her position as one of Africa’s most successful international music exports.
After receiving the award on Sunday, Tyla spoke to Billboard about what the recognition means not just for her, but for African artists worldwide.
“I’m so grateful. This is insane. It just shows me how far we can take it. Being from where I’m from, we really have a chance, and that’s just amazing,” she said, visibly emotional.
Tyla also emphasized the importance of seeing more African musicians celebrated on the global stage, highlighting the need for continued recognition and opportunities.
“When I was young, I wanted to see my girls getting Grammys and everything, and we’ve got that, but we need more. I’m excited to see the rest of our African superstars who are killing it right now be there as well. We are coming,” she added.
