Solána Imani Rowe (born November 8, 1989), known professionally as SZA, is an American R&B singer. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, she began making music in the early 2010s, releasing two extended plays before signing with the hip hop record label Top Dawg Entertainment, through which she released Z (2014), her third EP and first retail release. That same year, she co-wrote "Feeling Myself" by Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé. In 2016, she was featured on Rihanna's song "Consideration".

SZA's debut studio album, Ctrl (2017), was released to universal acclaim from music critics. She collaborated with Kendrick Lamar to create the top 10 single "All the Stars" for the Black Panther soundtrack, for which she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Original Song.

In 2020, she released the single "Good Days"; the following year saw the release of the singles "I Hate U" and Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More", which she was featured on; all three singles reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021, with the latter breaking the record for the longest-running all-female collaboration within the top 10, and earning her the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
