As she entered her teens, Harrison began to shift her focus to music. Gifted and musically-inclined, with the help of her father she put together a demo tape when she was 15 and begin to scout around for a record deal while still attending high school. At the age of 16, she signed a recording contract with Interscope Records.

This is the discography of American R&B/pop recording artist and actress Mýa who began her career in the late 1990s. Her discography includes six studio albums, one mixtape, twenty-eight singles, seventeen soundtracks and twenty-seven music videos on her former record labels Interscope and Universal Motown and current record labels Manhattan Recordings and Young Empire Music Group. Harrison has charted 12 entries on Billboard's Hot 100 which includes one number single, three top-ten and eight top-forty hits. As of October 2009 Harrison had sold seven million albums worldwide. According to Billboard magazine and Nielsen Soundscan Harrison has sold over 3.2 million albums in the United States alone. In December 2009, Billboard named Mýa the 97th of the Hot 100 Artists of 2000s.

Mýa's eponymous debut album was released in April 1998 and certified platinum in the United States. It produced the gold-certified top-ten single "It's All About Me" featuring Sisqó, and two more top-forty hits, "Movin' On" and "My First Night with You".

Her second studio album Fear of Flying (2000), another platinum-seller, was released two years later and enjoyed international chart success, spawning her breakthrough single "Case of the Ex", which did well on the charts. In 2001, Mýa collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, and Pink on Missy Elliott's Grammy Award-winning number-one song "Lady Marmalade", a cover version recorded for the soundtrack of the film Moulin Rouge! (2001). The song became a worldwide number-one hit.

The singer's third studio album, Moodring, was released in July 2003 and certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America two months later. A minor success in international music markets, it nevertheless produced two singles, including the top-twenty hit "My Love Is Like...Wo". Following a hiatus and a label change to Motown, Mýa's often-delayed fourth studio album, Liberation (2007), received a digital release in Japan only and led to her 2008 Japan-exclusive album Sugar & Spice, released on Manhattan Records. In 2009, she released her first official mixtape on her own independent label Planet 9 and Young Empire Music Group entitled Beauty & The Streets Vol.1.

In 2011, Mýa released two new singles. A new track called "Fabulous Life", released in Japan. It was the first single lifted from her second Japan studio album titled K.I.S.S.. Stateside, a collaboration with international DJ/producer Cedric Gervais; a song titled "Love Is the Answer". "Love Is the Answer" is the theme song for the NOH8 campaign and appears on Cedric Gervais' forthcoming studio album Miamication. K.I.S.S. was released April 20, 2011. Eight months later, Harrison released K.I.S.S. US/Canada Deluxe Edition on December 20, 2011, (digitally) via iTunes through her own label imprint Planet 9. The album was supported with three digitally released singles to iTunes; "Earthquake", "Somebody Come Get This Bitch", and "Mr. Incredible". ... (more)

Vegan and Veg Celebrities (86 person items)

"When longtime vegetarian Mýa went vegan, she experienced a world of benefits. She has since declared she is “vegan for life.” The R&B artist credits her plant-based diet for helping her beat anemia. “I thought you had to have meat to have protein and get your iron, and that’s just false information,” she said in a video for PETA. She explained that she no longer gets sick since ditching animal products and thanks her healthy diet for her clear skin and “fountain of youth.” “It"
