A Cross-Continental Powerhouse Collab
A sonic explosion is shaking up the global music scene with the arrival of Bombshell — a genre-defying track uniting the vibrant rhythms of Tanzania, South Africa, and the UK. The single brings together an all-star lineup: Skyla Tylaa, Diamond Platnumz, Tyler ICU, Khalil Harrison, and DJ Exit. Already generating massive buzz, early teasers of Bombshell have racked up more than 90 million views, solidifying its status as a global summer anthem in the making.
Skyla Tylaa Steps into the Spotlight as Producer
At just 24, Skyla Tylaa is taking a bold new leap. Bombshell marks her first official release with producer credits, a major milestone in her rapid rise from underground DJ to international sensation. While the track’s creation began organically in 2024, its energy is anything but casual — it pulses with the collective brilliance of Amapiano heavyweights, who’ve helped shape and polish its signature sound.
From Kennington to Coachella: Skyla’s Meteoric Rise
Born and raised between Kennington and Vauxhall in Southeast London, with Jamaican and English roots, Skyla’s musical foundation was laid early. From Funky House and UK Garage to Reggae and R&B, music was the backdrop of her family home. Her sister, Jada, a top-tier music manager with clients like Akon and Wizkid, was a pivotal influence.
Though Skyla dabbled in instruments and vocals from a young age, her big moment came at 21 during a fateful trip to Ghana, where she discovered Amapiano at a Wizkid recording camp. Mentored by figures like DJ Tunez, Maphorisa, and Major League DJz, she began honing a sound that blends the essence of Africa with the pulse of global dance culture.
Taking Over Global Stages, One Festival at a Time
Since her breakout moment opening for Wizkid’s Made in Lagos tour in 2023, Skyla has dominated global stages, with performances at Coachella, Afro Nation, Wireless, Piano People, Promise Land (Australia), and Native Land (Lagos). She’s sold out shows in London, Nigeria, and Ghana, and was named one of Mixmag’s Breakthrough DJs of 2024.
Co-Signed by Icons: Rihanna’s Seal of Approval
Skyla’s growing influence caught the attention of none other than Rihanna, who handpicked her to DJ the Fenty x Puma launch in London and open her Los Angeles event. These moments underscore Skyla’s rare blend of artistry and authenticity — qualities that resonate deeply with audiences and icons alike.
A Movement, Not Just a Moment
With Bombshell, Skyla Tylaa doesn’t just drop a song — she signals a new era. This isn’t a detour from her DJ roots; it’s a natural evolution. As she continues to bridge cultures, sounds, and generations, one thing is clear: Skyla isn’t chasing trends — she’s making them.
