My Take
Mýa is one of those artists people underrate by filing her simply as a singer. What I respect is the full toolkit: she sings, writes, dances, and choreographs, with childhood training in ballet, jazz, and tap that shows in everything she does. Coming up through BET's Teen Summit as a dancer before her 1998 debut tells me she earned her foundation the hard way. I am drawn to performers who can carry both the vocal and the physical sides of a show themselves, because that self-sufficiency is rare and persuasive. Recognition at a film festival only confirms how deep her range runs.
