Tyla’s PUSH TO START Earns Her Second Grammy

South African sensation Tyla has done it again. The rising star has won the Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance for her hit single PUSH TO START, marking her second victory in this category at the Grammy Awards. 

The win places Tyla among the few artistes to claim back-to-back Grammys in the Best African Music Performance category, cementing her status as one of Africa’s most exciting musical exports. Her first win came in 2024 for the global hit WATER, which introduced her unique blend of amapiano, pop and contemporary African sounds to international audiences.

PUSH TO START has been praised for its infectious rhythm and cross-genre appeal, helping it resonate far beyond South Africa. The track faced stiff competition from established stars like Burna Boy, Davido (feat. Omah Lay), and Wizkid (feat. Ayra Starr ) but Tyla’s energetic performance and rising global presence ultimately earned her the award.

 Tyla’s achievements highlight the growing influence of African music on the global stage. Her consecutive Grammy wins not only celebrate her personal success but also shine a spotlight on the continent’s vibrant music scene, inspiring a new generation of African artists to reach international acclaim.
