SZA
Solána Imani Rowe (born November 8, 1989), known professionally as SZA (/ˈsɪzə/ SIZ-ə), is an American singer-songwriter. Known for her diaristic lyrics and alternative R&B sound incorporating multiple genres, she is significant 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 rock and jazz-influenced debut studio album, Ctrl (2017), was 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 U.S. Billboard 200. After Ctrl, she embarked on a series of collaborations. Her 2018 single "All the Stars" with Kendrick Lamar was a top-10 single in the U.S. and UK, earning her Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song. SZA's feature on Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More" (2021) set a record as the longest-running all-female collaboration in the U.S. top ten and won SZA her first Grammy Award. SZA experimented with several genres like rock, hip-hop, and pop on her second studio album, SOS (2022). It spent twelve 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 U.S. Its six singles comprised five top-10 songs, including her first global number-one, "Kill Bill". SZA achieved two more U.S. number-one singles in 2023 and 2025, with Drake's "Slime You Out" and Lamar's "Luther", respectively. In 2024, SZA released the reissue album of SOS, Lana, which consisted of outtakes alongside post-SOSmusic. The reissue spawned two top-ten singles, "Saturn" and "30 for 30" with Lamar. SZA made her acting debut in the comedy film One of Them Days (2025). 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 like Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Travis Scott, Schoolboy Q, and Rihanna. In 2024, she received the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
