“In middle school, when adolescence hit, I was teased all the time. I became really quiet and shy because I didn’t know how else to respond, and then I got teased for that. Those are the experiences that developed my creativity.” — Mya

About Mya
Mya Marie Harrison, an American singer, songwriter, dancer, producer, and actress, was born on October 10, 1979. Her estimated net worth is $5 million. Theresa Harrison, Mya’s mother, is American-Italian, and Sherman Harrison, her father, is Jamaican. Mya learned singing and dancing while growing up in Maryland. At one point, she studied with Savion Glover in New York City.
In Greenbelt, Maryland, she attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School. She participated as a panelist on the BET discussion show Teen Summit while she was a teen. Má secured a contract with University Records in 1997 after being introduced to the label by her R&B group Dru Hill pals.
Half of Ma’s self-titled debut album was written and produced by the four members of Dru Hill. Sisqó co-wrote the first two songs, “It’s All About Me” and “Movin’ On,” and she also contributed vocals to the former song. The singles all had a lot of airplay on urban and rhythmic radio, but they didn’t succeed in getting played on pop radio. Rappers Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Pras were also featured on the 1998 single “Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are),” which gave Ma her first significant hit.
Ma made a comeback to the music industry in 2000 with the release of her second album, Fear Of Flying. “Case Of The Ex.” the second song, became Ma’s first significant pop hit. The song’s music video received frequent airplay on MTV. After “Case of the Ex,” became a hit, Interscope re-released Fear of Flying with a different track listing and two extra tracks, including the third single from the album, “Free.” “Free” was a hit on MTV and mainstream radio and was much more pop-friendly than “Case Of The Ex,”
Ma collaborated on a rendition of Patti LaBelle‘s “Lady Marmalade,” in the spring of 2001 with Lil Kim, Pink, and Christina Aguilera. The song was a massive mainstream smash. Then, in 2003, her third album, Moodring, had its US debut at #3 and racked up 113,000 first-week sales. Despite failing to yield a top 10 Billboard hit, it has so far sold more than 683,000 copies. M.A.’s fourth album, Liberation, formerly known as Control Freak, was supposed to be released in the summer of 2006 but has been repeatedly postponed for more than two years.
With Love, a four-track Valentine’s Day EP from Mya, was released in 2014. Her second Valentine’s Day EP, Love Elevation Suite, was released in 2015 after that. Smoove Jones, Mya’s seventh studio album, was released in 2016. On August 31, 2018, a brand-new song titled “G.M.O. (Got My Own)” with Tink was made available. “Open” by Mya was released on May 13, 2019. On May 29, 2020, she also made “Space & Time” available. Mya’s net worth is projected to reach $5 million as of 2023.
