9 months By Chumasande Matiwane

It’s a special day for South African singer-songwriter, Tyla, as she celebrates her 24th birthday.

Tyla, who pushes boundaries with her infused, vibrant personality and bold fashion sense, has been making praiseworthy moves in the entertainment industry.

Her songs offer an innovative take on pop and R&B, shimmering with the euphoria of South African amapiano, and an otherworldly approach to production that makes every track feel like something totally new.

As she turns 24, many of her fans are looking forward to continuously seeing her doing her best to remain carefree and to fly the Mzansi flag high.

With over 13.2 million Instagram followers, many are eager to see what the Johannesburg-born international star does for her birthday. 

Her sister is among those who took to social media to wish her a happy birthday, together with a number of entertainment platforms and her fans.

Tyla’s parents fostered a musically gifted daughter and have openly expressed their support for her.

If her previous achievements are anything to go by, it is safe to predict that that the mega star will continue to build her fanbase and maximise her reach to every corner of the world.
