Mya: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About Mya

Mýa is a Washington, D.C.–born singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress whose work sits at the intersection of Hip-Hop and R&B. Trained from childhood in ballet, jazz, and tap, she first reached national audiences through TV dance work before launching a recording career in the late 1990s with early Hot 100 success and high-profile collaborations. In the New York area, she appears at NJPAC on bills like *Dru Hill & Mya*, linking her catalog to the region’s live R&B circuit. Onstage, she favors rhythmic precision and clean vocal lines over spectacle.
