Solána Imani Rowe (born November 8, 1989), known professionally as SZA ( SIZ-ə), is an American singer-songwriter. Known for her diaristic songwriting and genre explorations, she is regarded as a prominent figure in influencing contemporary R&B music and popularizing alternative R&B.
After gaining attention online with two self-released extended plays (EP), SZA signed to Top Dawg Entertainment in 2013. Under the label, she released the lo-fi and psychedelic EP Z (2014) and her R&B debut album Ctrl (2017). The latter was critically acclaimed and placed in several year-end lists. Following Ctrl, she engaged in a series of high-profile collaborations over the next four years. These included the top-ten singles "All the Stars" (2018) with Kendrick Lamar, which garnered Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, and "Kiss Me More" (2021) with Doja Cat, which won SZA her first Grammy Award.
With her acclaimed and multi-genre second album SOS (2022), SZA became the first woman to spend 100 weeks on the Billboard 200's top-ten. The album also broke the record for the longest-running US top-ten by a Black musician. Its fifth single, "Kill Bill", was the third best-selling song of 2023 and peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100. From 2024 to 2025, SZA achieved a string of top-tens with "Saturn" and "30 for 30", both from the deluxe reissue of SOS entitled Lana (2024), and her longest-running US number-one song, "Luther". Her 2025 Grand National Tour with Lamar is the highest-grossing co-headlining tour in history.
SZA has earned numerous accolades throughout her career, including seven Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, three American Music Awards, 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.
