From the streets of Orlando to stages across the globe, Tyla Yaweh has crafted a music career rooted in passion, perseverance, and authenticity. With over 3 billion streams and collaborations with industry giants like Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Wiz Khalifa, Yaweh is much more than a multi platinum artist—he’s a storyteller, an adventurer, and a spiritual thinker. In this exclusive interview, Tyla opens up about his music, his upbringing, and his vision for the future.
Journey In Music
Tyla Yaweh’s rise began in 2019, when he was discovered by Post Malone and signed to Dre London’s London Entertainment under Epic Records. His debut album, Heart Full of Rage, introduced listeners to his genre-blending sound, which continued to evolve with its sequel, Heart Full of Rage 2, accompanied by an intimate documentary.
With chart-topping collaborations like “Stuntin’ On You” (featuring DaBaby) and “I Think I Luv Her” (featuring YG), Tyla has cemented his place as a hit maker. His recent single, “City of Dreams” with Chris Brown, climbed to #29 on the Rhythm charts. As he gears up to re-release his recent album, Everyone’s A Critic, Tyla emphasizes the importance of creating music that resonates: “I’m just having fun with music. I want to connect with a new audience—it’s fresh and doesn’t sound like anyone else.” With the re-release he plans on shooting visuals for every song.
Manifestation and Spirituality
Raised in a conscious family, Tyla’s perspective on life was shaped by early experiences, including a transformative encounter with psilocybin mushrooms in the ninth grade. “It unlocked my mind,” he shares. “I tapped into the secrets of life and learned about manifestation.”
Moments like when he dropped “Do No Wrong” with Trippie Redd and PNB Rock, he faced criticism from fans questioning his beliefs. While some have misinterpreted his visuals, Tyla is clear about his faith: “Yahweh is in everything. I’m not saying I’m a god, but that god is within all of us. I pray every day, believe in God, and stay away from evil energy.”
A Nomadic Life
Life on the road is second nature to Tyla, who has performed at iconic festivals like Rolling Loud, Made in America, and SXSW. Currently two months into a tour, he has plans to stay on the road for another six months. His secret? Balance. “I pace myself. I don’t party, and I try to work out every morning.”
His global travels also influence his music, allowing him to stay grounded and avoid the pitfalls of social media. “I don’t want to get caught up chasing platforms,” he says. “The music speaks for itself.”
A Journey of Resilience Outside Of Music
Growing up wasn’t easy for Tyla. After being kicked out of his home for having pounds of weed, he found himself living with friends, throwing college parties at 15, and navigating life on his own. However, his determination never wavered. At 17, he rubbed shoulders with industry legends like Snoop Dogg and Birdman, laying the foundation for his career.
His relationship with his family has since healed, with his mother’s tough love pushing him to California, where he embraced a minimalist lifestyle, sleeping in Airbnbs and skating through life until he found stability.
Fatherhood and Philanthropy
Fatherhood has brought Tyla a new purpose. “Seeing my daughter instantly changed me,” he says. “I talk to her every day, even when I’m sacrificing time to be on tour.”
Equally as important to making his music, his philanthropic efforts reflect his gratitude. From gifting $5,000 to a young fan to launching RagerBoy Weekend—an event focused on music, skateboarding, and community outreach—Tyla is committed to uplifting others.
Dreams and the Future
When asked about his aspirations, Tyla dreams big: a State Farm commercial with Jake, a Super Bowl Coca-Cola ad, and musical collaborations with artists like Muni Long and Tems. Yet, his ultimate goal is to empower his fans. “With my music, I want to make my fans rich.” He wants to inspire them to own their art and follow their dreams. He references Russ and Tory Lanez who have both achieved much success in the music industry by not only being independent but owning their music. Both artists share their methods and journey in music with their fans inspiring them to do something similar.
As Tyla Yaweh continues his journey, one thing is certain: his music, spirit, and message will resonate for years to come. “I’ll always be there for my fans. My music will always be there for them.”
Tyla’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and an unyielding commitment to staying true to himself. Whether on stage or in the studio, he’s carving out a legacy that’s as heartfelt as it is inspiring.
