NEW YORK (AP) — For Grammy-winning producer-songwriter Alexander Shuckburgh, the Academy Awards are so close and yet so far.

Shuckburgh should be celebrating as an Oscar nominee since a song...

NEW YORK (AP) — R&B singer SZA didn't let a torn ligament in her foot slow her down at a concert for her feverish fans in New York City.

She walked into the venue Friday with a crutch helping her to the chair placed in the middle of the stage. She injured her foot while performing last week at the BUKU Music + Art Project festival in New Orleans.

NEW YORK (AP) — Youth and age crossed on the Grammy red carpet when SZA's grandmother and DJ Khaled's son arrived about the same time, one in a wheelchair and one in a stroller.

Both had a good reason to be there — they had roles in their family's Grammy-nominated albums.

NEW YORK (AP) — After SZA created the drums-drenched, reggae-tinged song "Consideration," she thought she had finally found the sound of her debut album. But there was one problem: Rihanna heard the song and wanted it.

"And I'm just like, 'It has a video. I shot a video already to it. It's coming out on Wednesday. That was going to be the first song to prep the album,'" SZA recalled in a recent interview.

NEW YORK (AP) — SZA — who is nominated for five Grammy Awards for her debut album, "Ctrl" — discusses writing lyrics for Beyonce, sampling Justin Timberlake's music and collaborating with Maroon 5 in outtakes from a recent interview with The Associated Press. Read the interview here.

NEW YORK (AP) — Yes, SZA is easily in the running for best new act of 2017. But her uber-successful year really puts her in the running for female artist of the year: She's had multiple songs chart in the Top 40 in a year when male acts overwhelming dominated, and she's the most nominated woman at the upcoming Grammy Awards with five.

"It's wild. It's awesome. ... Like, I'm in awe. Like, in full blown awe," said SZA, competing for honors like best new artist and best urban contemporary album.

The overnight success story in Hollywood is as much of a fairytale as its movies. Years of training, sacrifice and failed attempts at stardom typically define the experience of entertainers before that breakthrough moment occurs.

But when it happens, things change overnight — as Daniel Kayuula found after he starred in "Get Out." He went from playing bit parts in movies to having deep conversations about race with total strangers at music festivals.
