I’m a visual learner, so the film is a huge inspiration to me.
SZAI’m a visual learner, so the film is a huge inspiration to me.
SZAI was raised orthodox Muslim. Very sheltered, very conservative.
SZAI just make music however I feel and pray that it connects, and if it does, I’m super thankful. I think genres are more for other people, not for yourself.
SZAI just think I have too much anxiety to listen to music. Sometimes it feels like noise, and sometimes it’s so affecting that I can’t recover from it.
SZAI love cuffing season. It’s a very inspiring season for those who want to be inspired.
SZAI think we all do: I think we wonder if we’re supposed to be here if we’re doing the right thing, if we even want to be here. At least, I do all the time.
SZAI used to be very revenge-motivated, but that’s just because I’m a Scorpio. Now I’m more so, like, practice honesty just because it makes you feel better.
SZAI was a gymnast for 13 years, so I was heavy into sports.
SZASearchin for peace be like fishing for water.
SZAEvery day I grapple between ‘I’m going to get married’ and ‘I’m going to spend the rest of my life alone with a poodle.’
SZAI feel like when you say ‘activist,’ you have to have so much clarity, and I don’t always necessarily have so much clarity on how I want to help others, I just have this weird, deep urge to help other people. I’m trying to let God guide my body and use it as whatever kind of vehicle or vessel it needs to be.
SZAOn Halloween, because we don’t celebrate it, my dad would drive me somewhere, anywhere different. Like Little Italy in New York to walk around and teach me all about the food and culture.
SZAFather if you don’t take me any further I honor the gifts you’ve given me thus far.
SZASugar makes me feel crazy – like, makes my body hurt kind of a thing. I don’t really eat fruit because it has a lot of sugar. I try not to eat a lot of red meat, but every now and again, I feel like I need iron or something – something that I’m missing.
SZAI definitely get inspiration from the ‘gram. I mean, Instagram is Google, essentially. I love looking at pictures of beautiful women.
SZAI worry so much. Like, ‘Damn, how can I be excellent?’ But it’s a journey.
