Mya released her self-titled debut album, Mya, in April 1998 on Interscope Records, which sold over 1 million copies in the U.S. and featured the gold-certified top 10 single ‘It’s All About Me,’ a collaboration with Sisqó. The album earned her nominations for two Soul Train Music Awards and an NAACP Image Award, quickly establishing her as a notable artist in R&B. Mya continued her ascent with features on the commercially successful singles ‘Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)’ with Pras and Ol’ Dirty Bastard, a worldwide number-one hit that earned her a Grammy Award nomination in 1998, and ‘Take Me There’ with Blackstreet and Mase, also in 1998.

Through Planet 9, she released her fifth studio album Sugar & Spice (2008) and her sixth, K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy & Simple) (2011). Her seventh studio album, Smoove Jones (2016), garnered a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album in 2017. Mya has sold 3.2 million albums in the U.S.

Mya continued to release new music, including singles ‘You Got Me, Part II’ and ‘Space and Time’ in 2020, and ‘Whine’ featuring Bounty Killer in 2023. Recent acting credits include costarring in Lazarus (2021), starring in My Favorite Christmas Melody (2021), and a cameo in the film House Party (2023). In 2022, she reunited with Christina Aguilera for a memorable ‘Lady Marmalade’ performance at LA Pride. Looking ahead to 2025, Mya is slated to release the single ‘Give It To You’ and perform ‘Case of the Ex’ at the BET Awards.
