Notes on Mya

"I can't help but feel as though I'm contradicting myself when I pose for pictures showing skin, looking sexy. But while I dress this way for photos because I want to be that diva, I feel obliged to tell young girls not to get caught up in images. I don't want girls to think they have to dress like this to qualify as young women." - Mya quoted in Honey magazine, June/July 2000

"I'm really quiet and reserved most of the time. When it's time for me to do my thing onstage, I just go for it. But in other settings, I don't feel very comfortable with being very outgoing." - Mya quoted in Jane magazine, May 2000

Reportedly was named after poet/writer Maya Angelou.
