With Disney being among the biggest rearing grounds for musical artists, the number of celebrities with a background in acting is not too small. However, their popstar persona often tramples over the initial Disney days, and they limit their acting gigs to commercials and music videos. However, Grammy award-winning singer SZA has taken a completely different route, surprising fans.

After having marked the music scenery with a banger like 'Kill Bill', SZA's throne could not be tainted as she continued to move upwards. Despite the success in the movie industry, the chart-topper's creative fuels have spilled over to the acting lane, where she is now gaining critical acclaim for her feature film acting debut, One of Them Days. This art of being a master of all trades has fans belting out praises for the singer.
