Mýa (album)

Mýa is the eponymous debut studio album by American recording artist Mýa. It was her first studio album for then-record label Interscope Records released April 21, 1998. Harrison was signed by Haaq Islam after a living room audition at the age of 16 to Interscope Records. Once signed she began the process of recording her self-titled studio album and recorded the album between the time period of 1997–98 at Silent Sound Studios in Atlanta, Georgia and at The Record Plant in Los Angeles, California.

Production was primarily handled by Darryl "Day" Pearson with additional contributions from Daryl Simmons and Nokio the N-Tity. During the process of making the album, Harrison co-wrote five of the twelve tracks featured on the album; a pivotal role she would continue to play in her career. Prior to recording the album, Harrison had no vocal training and often would record her ad-libs on the spot in the studio. Guest features included Dru Hill front man Sisqó, No Limit rapper Silkk the Shocker, and Virginia native Missy Elliott.

Mýa

Mýa Marie Harrison (/ˈmaɪ.ə/) (born October 10, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter, and actress. Born into a musical family, she signed with Interscope Records in 1998 and released her eponymous debut album the same year. The album was a commercial success in the United States and produced the top ten single "It's All About Me". Fear of Flying, her second album, was released in 2000 and became a worldwide success, boosted by the success of its second single "Case of the Ex". In 2002, Harrison won a Grammy Award in the category for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for her rendition of Labelle's 1975 hit "Lady Marmalade".

Harrison released her third studio album, Moodring, in 2003. The album produced the single "My Love Is Like...Wo" and was certified gold by the RIAA. Following a label change and a delay in her fourth studio album, Harrison went independent and recorded two exclusive albums for the Japanese music market, Sugar & Spice (2008) and K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy & Simple) (2011). In between recording those two albums, she launched her own independent record label Planet 9, and competed in Dancing with the Stars – season nine; finishing in second place.
