22-year-old South African musician Tyla made history by winning the first 'Best African Performance' Grammy for her hit song 'Water'.

Tyla triumphed over prominent Nigerian artists in the category, with 'Water' achieving top 10 rankings in 16 countries.

The 66th Grammy Awards marked the first year for the 'Best African Music Performance' category.

Tyla's rise to fame was fueled by social media and a viral dance routine on TikTok.

Her upcoming album, releasing in March, will feature a mix of Amapiano, Afrobeats, pop, and RnB.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Minister of Arts and Culture Zizi Kodwa publicly congratulated Tyla, acknowledging her as a global ambassador for South African arts.

Tyla is the youngest South African and African to win a Grammy, and her achievement has been widely celebrated across the continent.

She is eagerly anticipating her performance at the prestigious Coachella music festival.
