About SZA

Solána Imani Rowe (born November 8, 1989), known professionally as SZA ( SIZ-ə), is an American singer-songwriter. Known for her diaristic lyrics and alternative R&B sound incorporating multiple genres, she is a significant figure in influencing contemporary R&B music. SZA first garnered attention with her self-released extended plays (EPs) See.SZA.Run (2012) and S (2013). The projects led her to sign with Top Dawg Entertainment in 2013, through which she released her third EP, Z (2014). Her debut studio album, Ctrl (2017), was an alternative R&B effort and a critical and commercial success. It earned four Grammy Award nominations in 2018, and became the second longest-charting R&B album by a woman on the US Billboard 200. Her 2018 single "All the Stars" with Kendrick Lamar was a top-10 single in the US and UK, and it earned her Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song. SZA's feature on Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More" in 2021 set a record as the longest-running all-female collaboration in the US top-ten and won the singer her first Grammy Award. SZA experimented with several genres like rock, hip-hop, and pop on her second studio album, SOS (2022). It has spent thirteen weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, broke several chart records, and set an achievement for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the US. Its six singles include "Kill Bill", her first global number-one and the third best-selling song of 2023. SOS was reissued in 2024 as the deluxe album Lana, which spawned the top-ten singles "Saturn" and "30 for 30". That same year, SZA collaborated with Lamar on the single "Luther". It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for ten weeks, making it her longest-running number one in the US. SZA has earned numerous accolades throughout her career, including five Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, an American Music Award, a Guild of Music Supervisors Award, and two Billboard Women in Music awards, including Woman of the Year. She has co-written songs for artists such as Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Travis Scott, Schoolboy Q, and Rihanna. In 2024, she received the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
