Joburg lifestyle content creator Thulane “Toolz” Hadebe recently welcomed megastar Tyla to his YouTube channel for a festive edition of his Vlogmas series. The latest episode of Yes, Itβs Me, Toolz features the chart-topping singer in a fun and engaging conversation about her meteoric rise in the music industry.
Tyla, who has had an incredible year, discussed her exclusive event at Coke Studios in Johannesburg, which was hosted by Spotify last Wednesday. The 22-year-old singer has been touring South Africa with her Tyla SA tour, performing to sold-out crowds in Cape Town and Pretoria. Due to high demand, an additional show has been added at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria on January 18, 2024.
Thulane reflected on his first encounter with Tyla back in June 2023 during Spotify’s Greasy Tunes event, where Tyla premiered her breakout hit, Water. He recalls, “She had around 70 to 80 songs, and when she played Water, I knew it was going to be a global hit.” The track has since become a Grammy-winning success and propelled Tyla into the international spotlight.
The Johannesburg-born singerβs year has been nothing short of extraordinary, with multiple prestigious awards to her name, including honors at the Grammys, MTV VMAs, Billboard, BET Awards, and more.
Thulane, who is also a passionate food and travel influencer, shared his own exciting experiences, including his 17,000-kilometer journey to Los Angeles for BeyoncΓ©βs Renaissance tour. Looking ahead, Thulane is excited about his upcoming project, Toolz Talks, a podcast where he will share personal stories and life lessons. He hopes his listeners will connect with his experiences and find value in the conversations. The podcast is set to launch next year.
Fans of Tyla and Thulane can expect more exciting collaborations and content in 2024, as both stars continue to shape the entertainment landscape with their talents and creativity.
