Tyla Shines on British Vogue Cover, Talks Music, Style, and New Beginnings
From chart-topping hits to trendsetting fashion moments, Tyla has quickly cemented herself as one of the most captivating new voices in music. Now, the Grammy-winning South African star graces the cover of British Vogue’s March 2025 issue, opening up about her rise to fame, her evolving style, and life in New York.
Reflecting on her journey so far, Tyla shares, “I’ve grown so much since ‘Water’ and my debut album. I feel like a bolder, more confident version of myself, and I’m excited to bring that into my music.”
On Her Musical Dream
“I’ve always known this is what I wanted. Since I was a kid, anytime someone asked what I wanted to be, I’d say, ‘I’m going to be a singer.’”
On Finding Inspiration in Rihanna
“Coming from outside the U.S., I used to think you had to be born there to make it big. But watching Rihanna proved there’s another way.”
On Her Family’s Support
“My parents have always been protective. Even before ‘Water,’ I never went to the studio alone—I was super careful. And even now, they still worry.”
On Life in New York
“It’s a huge change. Sometimes I miss the sun, having a yard, and being surrounded by my whole family. That’s why I love having my sister here—she’s like a little piece of home.”
On Her Bold Fashion Choices
“Dressing up is my thing. I love heels—they make me feel like a diva. I’m really hands-on with my style because I know exactly how I want to feel and look each day.”
With a fearless attitude and an unstoppable rise, Tyla is carving out her space on the global stage—on her own terms.
