JAY Z's Life+Times and vitaminwater® present the next episode of the new documentary series "Where I'm From." This episode follows St. Louis born singer and songwriter, SZA, and details her outlook on hustling past life's unexpected issues, growing up as an awkward kid, quitting her job to be free, and learning the importance of self motivation and self discipline. The episode features footage of her performance at Made In America, as well as wise advice given to her from both her label mates Kendrick Lamar and Isaiah Rashad. SZA describes how her gymnast mother influenced her interest in performing and how her brother showing her a wide variety of music like MF Doom was early inspiration to pursue music.
