Breakout R&B Star SZA Muses on Finding Her Distinctive Voice

The artist SZA, born Solána Rowe and raised in New Jersey, didn't always plan to be a singer. And for awhile, it looked like her breakthrough debut album Ctrl might be lost in production. But sometimes fate works in mysterious ways, even for a self-described control freak like SZA. Ctrl, released in June, has been sitting comfortably at (or near) the top of the R&B charts. It garnered her a widely-lauded solo performance at the BET Awards and a passionate new fan base.
