Quotes
[edit]- I’ve just become someone who has a whole different level of pride for my home and where I come from
- I grew up with a love for all types of sounds and never wanted to be tied down to one
- I want to become the new reference and the start of something new
- When I was small, I was convinced that I was the best dancer. I never had dance classes but I would always try out all different forms of dance, from belly dancing to krumping, and now amapiano type dancing. I’m still learning but my love for dancing runs deep
- I wanna eventually buy my parents their dream home and make sure they don’t need to work another day in their life
- Tyla is on a mission to become South Africa’s biggest popstar,4.3.21,by FRANKIE DUNN
- I would tell everybody that I was going to be a pop star. My parents hoped I would grow out of it, but I never did
- No matter who asked me what I wanted to be, I’d always say singer. My answer never changed
- I’m very determined
- If I want something, I make sure I get it
- There’s a point where things become hard and you wonder if it’s going to work. But I always knew that things were going to work out eventually
- I always know what I want and I trust [myself]. I also love collaborating and sharing other people’s ideas because everybody has something different. You never know, because initially with ‘Been Thinking’ it was a bit further into pop than I was used to, but I warmed up to it and recorded everything and it was great. That’s happened a lot where I’ve been worried or questioning certain things, but once I’ve done it I’ve ended up liking it, so I’m open to learning
- I love it — it’s what I wanted. I’m super-proud of myself. I know this is the time when I’m just starting, but I know that it’s also the time when I have to really work because I want to make my home proud. It’s a lot to put on your shoulders, but that’s what I want. I really want eyes on all African artists in general, because we need more attention
- I have always been a big dreamer, but obviously my parents and family will tell me to be realistic. It’s very rare that we get these opportunities in SA. Growing up, I used to watch a lot of Michael Jackson and Rihanna concerts; I loved it and wanted to do that. We are very close as a family and they are so proud, they get excited and it’s a whole celebration
- Tyla: The girl next door,09 June 2023,by Emmanuel Tjiya
- They didn’t want me to be disappointed if things didn’t go my way. But I was so adamant. I was going to make it happen no matter what.”
