Mya Harrison was born on 10th October, 1979 in Washington DC. She started her dance lesson at the age of 2. She lost her interest in music for several years but it again ignited in the year 1992. She then joined the dance troop T.W.A (Tappers with Attitude).
Later on she left the group to study at the legendary Dance Theater of Harlem with Glover. The group was so impressed by her improvisation that she got her solo spot during a Kennedy Center performance. Mya had already gained lots of popularity in the field of music.
She was being helped by her father who has very good name in the music industry. She prepared herself for her debut album, in collaboration with high-power talent like Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Diane Warren, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and members of Dru Hill.
Mya released her album in the year1998, “Its All about Me” and some of the songs of this album climbed to the sixth position in the US. Mya maintained her high profile with appearances on Pras' hit single "Ghetto Superstars (That Is What You Are)", taken from the soundtrack to the Warren Beatty movie Bulworth.
In September, her album climbed to a US chart peak of 29, and "Movin' On", featuring No Limit Records' star Silkk the Shocker, reached number 34 on the Hot 100 singles chart. "Take Me There", collaboration with Backstreets and Blinky Blink taken from the Rugrats soundtrack.
The subsequent Babyface/Diane Warren collaboration, "My First Night with You", surprisingly failed to break into the US Top 50. Mya subsequently retreated to the studio to work on her sophomore set, Fear of Flying, which featured the US Top 5 hit "Case of the Ex (Whatcha Gonna Do)".
