It was a night of celebration for South Africa\u2019s golden girl, Tyla<\/strong>, who officially clinched her second Grammy Award at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Stepping onto the stage just days after her 24th birthday, the singer took home the trophy for Best African Music Performance for her hit, \u201cPush 2 Start<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

This victory marks a significant milestone in Tyla\u2019s career, as she becomes the first artist<\/a> to win this specific category twice since its inception in 2024. The category<\/a> was a star-studded affair this year, featuring a powerful lineup of Africa\u2019s finest. Tyla emerged ahead of Nigeria\u2019s Burna Boy<\/strong> (\u201cLove\u201d), Davido<\/strong> featuring Omah<\/strong> Lay<\/strong> (\u201cWith You\u201d), and Ayra<\/strong> Starr<\/strong> featuring Wizkid<\/strong> (\u201cGimme Dat\u201d), as well as Uganda\u2019s Eddy<\/strong> Kenzo<\/strong> and Mehran<\/strong> Matin<\/strong> (\u201cHope & Love\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cPush 2 Start\u201d has been a standout track for the singer since its release on 11 October 2024. The song was introduced as a lead single for \u201cTYLA +<\/strong>,\u201d the deluxe edition of her self-titled debut album. Produced by Sammy Soso<\/strong>, Ari<\/strong> PenSmith<\/strong>, and Mocha<\/strong>, the track is a masterclass in the Popiano genre, a seamless fusion of Amapiano, Pop, and R&B that has become Tyla\u2019s signature sound.<\/p>\n

The song\u2019s journey to the Grammy stage began with a viral tease at the 2024 MTV VMAs, followed by a high-profile music video directed by Aerin Moreno<\/b>, which premiered in November 2024. Its success on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart throughout late 2024 and 2025 set the stage for this eventual Grammy recognition.<\/p>\n
