Musical Breakthrough and Chart Success
SZA, born Solána Imani Rowe, catapulted to fame with the release of her debut studio album Ctrl in 2017. The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and topping the R&B Albums chart. Ctrl eventually went 2x Platinum and was honored by Rolling Stone in its list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”
She followed this success with collaborations that expanded her global reach, including the Grammy-winning hit “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat and the Oscar-nominated “All the Stars” with Kendrick Lamar from the Black Panther soundtrack. These collaborations not only solidified her artistic versatility but also significantly boosted her financial standing.
Early Life
Born on November 8, 1989, in St. Louis, Missouri, and raised in Maplewood, New Jersey, SZA grew up in a religiously diverse household—her father was a Muslim and a CNN producer, while her mother, a Christian, worked for AT&T. She was active in sports during high school and studied marine biology at Delaware State University before leaving to pursue music full-time.
In 2012 and 2013, she self-released her first EPs See.SZA.Run and S, which gained underground acclaim. By 2013, she became the first female artist to sign with Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). Her 2014 EP Z included collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper, signaling her emergence as a major talent.
Platinum Hits and Grammy Glory
SZA’s 2017 debut album Ctrl featured smash singles like “Love Galore” (5x Platinum), “The Weekend” (4x Platinum), and “Broken Clocks” (3x Platinum). Her talent for blending vulnerability with bold storytelling earned her five Grammy nominations that year.
In the years that followed, she remained a staple in pop and R&B, appearing on tracks like Maroon 5’s “What Lovers Do,” Cardi B’s “I Do,” DJ Khaled’s “Just Us,” and Justin Timberlake’s “The Other Side.” Her 2020 singles “Hit Different” and “Good Days” were both commercial successes.
In 2021, SZA reached new heights with “Kiss Me More,” which won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys, and her viral single “I Hate U,” which dominated streaming platforms and topped multiple Billboard charts.
Ventures
Outside of music, SZA has expanded her brand. In 2022, she partnered with Crocs to design footwear with proceeds supporting mental health charities like the Sad Girls Club and the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. The campaign spotlighted the importance of mental well-being, with SZA enlisting advocates to promote self-care.

- Billboard Music Awards for Top R&B Female Artist and Top Viral Song
- BET Awards, Soul Train Music Awards, and NAACP Image Awards
- A Rulebreaker Award at the 2018 Billboard Women in Music Awards
