Miles Caton isn’t missing his moment. Amid his newfound fame from starring in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, the actor-musician showed off his vocal talents with a new cover of SZA‘s “Snooze” that fans are absolutely loving.
In a recent TikTok, Caton sits in a recording studio while holding up a mic, casually spinning slightly in his swivel chair as he sings. “I can’t lose when I’m with you/ How can I snooze and miss the moment?” he croons with silky soulfulness. “You just too important/ Nobody do body like you do.”
Featured on SZA’s Billboard 200-topping album SOS, “Snooze” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 2023, nearly a year after it was first released. Just a month before the song’s peak, Justin Bieber had joined SZA on an acoustic version of the track.
Caton’s followers loved what he did with the song, with one person writing in the comments of his TikTok, “I didn’t know I needed to hear sammie sing SZA until now,” referencing the name of his character in Sinners.
“sing it preacher boy!!!” another viewer wrote, while a third person commented, “i need you to drop some music like NOW.”
Sinners premiered in theaters in April, earning critical acclaim and marking Caton’s acting debut. In an interview with Variety that month, Coogler said that he knew there was something special about Caton from the moment he saw the young star’s audition tape.
“He was just in the dark — like he didn’t turn his lights on,” the director told the publication at the time. “Something about that was, like, so intriguing. This kid looked like he was in his basement, like in between homework assignments. But he had this voice — a once in a lifetime voice — and he also felt like the character.”
Before making his acting debut, Caton gained traction as a musician, performing with artists such as H.E.R. In 2023, he dropped a single titled “This Ain’t It.”
