SZA Nature

• SZA has said that she grew up alone. I didnt
  live with any of my siblings because they were
  all 10 years older than me, and when you dont
  have any friends or playmates, theres a lot of
  room to be weird. She did gymnastics and dance,
  but she was also picked on at school because she
  was different.

How To Get Into The Music Business

• SZAs brother was a rapper, and he had her do
  hooks for his mixtapes. This led to SZA making
  her own music while she worked jobs like selling
  makeup at Sephora and tending bar at a strip
  club. SZA shared songs like Aftermath on Sound
  Cloud, which got her a lot of new fans.

  listened to sound bowls. She has even used sound
  bowls in a performance.

First Album

  been delayed because she is still afraid to let
  the world hear her music. In an interview with
  2020, she said, I just dont know what I stand
  for right now. I just have to take decision what
  I want to paint. Which kind of world do I want to
  make? Its scary because of this.

Protect The Ocean

• SZA told Billboard, I feel like having clean air
  and trees shouldnt even be a topic of
  conversation. Its kind of silly that its even
  a privilege or something great that you can bring
  to a community. How come we dont all have the
  same experiences?. SZA has likewise worked with
  the gathering Desolate Whale to save the sea and
  spoken out against places that dont have
  enough food to eat.
