MZANSI sensation Tyla is making waves on the global stage once again, earning a Grammy nomination before the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on 1 February 2026 in Los Angeles, USA.
The 22-year-old star, full name Tyla Laura Seethal, is nominated for Best African Music Performance with her hit single Push 2 Start.
She'll be up against African superstars Davido and Omah Lay (With You), Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin (Hope & Love), and Ayra Starr and Wizkid (Gimme Dat).
This comes after her historic 2024 Grammy win for Water, which earned the inaugural Best African Music Performance award and solidified her as one of Africa's brightest young stars.
