A Washington, D.C. native, Mya burst onto the scene in 1998 with her double-platinum, self-titled debut album, Mya, establishing herself as a defining voice in late-’90s and early-2000s R&B and pop. The album introduced major hits including “It’s All About Me,” “Movin’ On,” and “My First Night With You,” followed by continued success with her sophomore album, Fear of Flying, featuring the signature hit “Case of the Ex.” In 2001, Mya reached new heights as part of the all-star collaboration “Lady Marmalade,” which topped charts worldwide and earned a Grammy Award.
Mya continued to evolve artistically with her third album, Moodring, highlighted by singles such as “My Love Is Like… Wo” and “Fallen,” while expanding her presence in film and television with roles in Chicago, Shall We Dance, and an acclaimed run on Dancing with the Stars. As part of the ensemble cast of Chicago, Mya earned a Screen Actors Guild Award, further cementing her status as a versatile entertainer across music, film, television, and live performance.
In 2008, Mya launched her independent label, Planet 9, becoming a pioneer of artist independence as she wrote, produced, and released a steady stream of projects on her own terms. Her independent catalog includes K.I.S.S., Smoove Jones, T.K.O. (The Knock Out), and her latest studio album, RETROSPECT. Smoove Jones earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, underscoring her continued creative excellence beyond the major-label system.
Beyond music, Mya is a dedicated philanthropist and entrepreneur. She founded The Mya Arts & Tech Foundation to support youth education in the arts and technology and has remained actively involved in causes ranging from breast cancer awareness to animal welfare and global humanitarian efforts. With a career spanning more than two decades, she continues to release new music, tour internationally, and inspire fans with her enduring artistry, versatility, and purpose-driven work.
