Emerging from the small town of Ocilla, Georgia, SZN Changes is a name that R&B lovers should have on their radar. With a journey that began as early as three years old, when he first discovered his vocal talents, SZN Changes has spent the past six years carving out his niche in the music industry. His latest release, “Without You,” showcases his unique sound—a blend of modern R&B with a nostalgic undertone that captivates listeners from the first note.
Growing up, SZN Changes was profoundly influenced by his father’s gospel singing, which laid the foundation for his musical journey. This early exposure to powerful vocal performances is evident in his own music, where his emotive delivery takes center stage. As a child, SZN began writing and recording music at just nine years old. His teenage years were shaped by the influential artistry of 2Pac, whose music, poetry, and interviews became a source of inspiration for SZN both musically and personally. This connection to 2Pac’s spirit of resilience and expression is a theme that resonates throughout SZN Changes’ work.
After high school, SZN Changes made the bold decision to move to Atlanta, a hub for music and culture, to pursue his dreams. His time in Atlanta was not without challenges—he faced periods of homelessness and financial instability. However, he credits his perseverance and faith, as well as the inspirational story of 2Pac, for pushing him forward. “Pac’s story and life were my biggest motivators,” SZN says. “If he could overcome his struggles and become a legend, then I knew I could push through my own hardships.”
“Without You,” his latest single, is a testament to this resilience and dedication. The track is a deeply personal exploration of love and longing, capturing the essence of someone who feels they cannot live without their significant other. SZN’s lyrics are raw and honest, leaving little to the imagination and allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the emotions he conveys. The song strikes a perfect balance between contemporary R&B vibes and a vintage soul feel, making it both fresh and timeless.
The music video for “Without You,” which SZN produced himself under his company, The SZN Family LLC, is as intimate as the song itself. Partnering with Hustle Vision Films and directed by Gabriel Burton, the video complements the song’s narrative, portraying the depth of SZN’s emotions with every frame. Shot with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the song’s themes, the video is a visual treat that enhances the listening experience.
Available on all streaming platforms, “Without You” is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that speaks to the heart. As SZN Changes continues to evolve as an independent artist, he is poised to make significant waves in the R&B scene.
