Liife&Such: Mya

Once again you guys i must send my Thank You's to Twitter! This time for allowing me to communicate with the always so lovely and talented model, singer, actress etc (lol) ; MYA!


Via her marketing manager Mike Killmon (www.twitter.com/mikekillmon) which is a pleasure; i was able to get a wonderful, fun, and refreshing interview for myself and my readers from the singer. It was not so surprising that the beautiful Mya would be as hilarious as she was during the interview. With no further a due, here is the interview!

So you've been out in this industry for SO long & for anyone not to know who MYA is would be completely appalling but you’ve been known for your Singing, Dancing, Modeling & acting. What other talents may be pinned to such a talented woman as yourself? -I can read, write, add, subtract, multiply, divide, paint nails, do hair, sew, cook, wash dishes, drive, pick up dog crap very well.

With 5 successful and amazing albums under your belt, any more music to come? -No. I've instead decided to retire, be a mother of 5 or 6, gain 75 lbs 8oz, kick my feet up and watch daytime soaps ASAP.

I just recently earlier this summer I found out about your MIXtape ‘Beauty&TheStreets’ vol1; could we expect any more of these from you? -I seriously doubt it. I won't be hanging in the clubs or studios that much with all of these kids I plan on mothering.

Any upcoming tours? & if so, for who/where/& when? -Actually yes-a tour of speaking engagements with emphasis on self esteem. (That should def be an amazingthing for women and young teens.)

Now aside from your current mixtape out, we all have seen you on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Star’s where you are amazing! How did this come about? & are you enjoying this experience? -It came about through an agent. I'm having the time of my life. Gotta get it in while I can.

We all know you can dance; but is it any more or less difficult to execute the dances such as the Lambada? & which have been your most favorite style of dancing to have done?

-There are thousands of dance styles all over the world. Latin & Ballroom is new territory for me. The favorite fast paced dance I've done so far has been the Jive. My favorite standard/ballroom dance has been the Foxtrot so far. The standard dances are alot more difficult to execute because of the the technique required which takes years and years of professional ballroom training to achieve.

Now I was not completely sure of this but I heard that day's before the show premiering you got stitches in your hand :( how did that happen?
-2days before the show I got 6stitches in my right middle finger. I cut my hand on glass. You can guess the rest if you have my mixtape "Beauty and the Streets" Vol 1. The detailed answer can be found in a specific song. (I'd give ya a dollar if you guess it =] )

I know I’ve asked this via Twitter but I have to let my readers know; what is next for Mya? Chicken and waffles with a Sunrise on the side.

Is there more television? Movie roles? -I'm sure-with my new healthy, plump look on the way.

This will be a completely RANDOM question but I was just watching Cursed last night which you made an appearance on. How was it filming a horror film? -I had a blast losing my voice. Wes Craven was delightful to work with.

I always said I would never do it because I can be so paranoid id take work home with me and scare myself lol anything like that have ever happened to you?

-No. It's usually the other way around. I usually end up scaring the character I'm about to play. Matter of fact. It got so intense, she even left the set one day. I was like "B*tch dont you know overtime costs a grip? Get yo' *ss back here and do your job!"

So in this electronic era and with all these social networks I was stoked to see you being a part of it. So for MY personal entertainment… MySpace or Twitter? - Twitter is much more convinient for the cellphone But Myspace is better when it comes to long messages.

Lol & I wanted to say Thank you for reading and replying to my tweets it really means a lot to me seeing as you are a major inspiration to me. Artist like you are who drive me to try my hardest.-You're very welcome. Thank you for being interested

Me being a songwriter myself; what advice can you give those trying so hard to breakthrough in this industry?

-Perfect your craft, be innovative, stand out, do not conform, study the business and surround yourself around those connected, affiliated to hear you out, give you advice or lead you in the direction of a potential opportunity which may lead to more opportunities.

What I’m most creating buzz about is my professional blogging & amateur journalism (which I will be attending Barruch College in NY for; journalism)What do you think about this new form of media?-I think it's incredible. You can establish a connection with people all over the world, communicate, voice opinion, inform, influence, inspire, raise monies for charities, take surveys, petitions, etc.

I’m crossing my finger while you answer this because with so many negative forms of this emerging on the web I hope you have looked at my site (www.LiifeandSuch.Blogspot.com) and have noted that its positive media.

-And I commend you for staying positive. There's enough negativity in the world. Let your light shine so others can be enlightened and inspired!

So before I jump into my Twitter Q&A segment I wanted to thank you so much for being such a positive amazing talented woman in this industry; we need more women as yourself. With that being said we will jump right into the Twitter Q&A segment where I notify my follower of my upcoming projects and interviews and as for the fans of the celebrities in question to send in questions. I call this: Liife&Such to MYA Q&A via Twitter!

AIt's hard to choose. My most favorite times have been where I can interact directly with people. Usually a live setting that allows me to sing, act, dance, speak and just connect. I love theatre, comedy and church.

-Yes. His name is Jesus Christ.
