Tyla Says Her Grammy Win Is ‘Such a Big Moment’ for South Africa as She Releases Debut Album

Having earned a top-10 hit and a Grammy at just 22 years old, the South African singer humbly tells PEOPLE she’s “still working toward making it” in music

At just 22 years old, Tyla already has a top-10 hit and a Grammy win under her belt.

The South African singer has experienced a meteoric rise to stardom since her song “Water” became a massive hit around the globe last year and introduced many U.S. listeners to the groovy amapiano genre from her native country.

One month after winning her first Grammy — and becoming the youngest-ever African artist to do so — Tyla released her debut self-titled album on Friday via Fax and Epic Records.
