Tyla shares stories behind her photo at the skate park, on the beach, dressing up for Heritage Day and more in Behind the Photo with Billboard.
Tyla:
Hi, I'm Tyla and I'll take you behind the photo with Billboard.
This was taken by my best friend. This was when I was in Ghana and we went to the skate park and I have no idea. I was on skates, but I was having a lot of fun that day.
This one is cute. It may seem like everything has to do with my best friend, but basically we are always together. And here we were in Cape Town, South Africa, and we had our own picnic. YEAH! We were having a girls' day out gossiping on the beach in Cape Town and she took a photo of me eating sushi.
YEAH! This is me in South Africa for Heritage Day. I was feeling like myself this day. I got up very early to make my borders, my headscarf, my outfit. I felt very elegant. Yes, this was… this was a nice moment. The most iconic Tyla image that will ever exist.
This was at school. Literally my best friend and I again. I don't know what we were doing, but we were leaders in the school and I think we had to organize the clothes like the school RCL. No, we were playing with those clothes. We weren't being serious. She took this photo of me and the rest is history.
