Mýa Marie Harrison or known mononymously as Mýa (born October 10, 1979) is an American singer, dancer, and actress. Mýa was born into a musical family and has been dancing since she was four. These talents landed Mýa a spot as a dancer on Creator/{{BET}}'s ''Teen Summit'' and after shopping her demo around, she was signed by Creator/InterscopeRecords. She would then release her first self-titled album in April 1998, a collaboration from a wide variety of artists such as Music/{{Babyface}}, Music/MissyElliott and Music/DruHill. She would then release two more albums with Interscope before running into several issues with record companies and leaks, which eventually led to her going completely independent and even releasing two albums specifically for the Japanese market. In 2016, she would undergo a minor GenreShift to a more traditional RAndB sound with her seventh album, ''Smooth Jones'', which was nominated for a UsefulNotes/GrammyAward for Best R&B Album.
