American R&B-pop singer and actress Mya Harrison released her self-titled debut album in 1998 under Interscope Records. It spawned the singles "It's All About Me", "Movin' On", and "My First Night with You". The album and its success helped her score Soul Train Music Award nominations for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist and Best R&B/Soul Album – Female, an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding New Artist, and a Billboard Music Award nomination for New R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year. Her guest featured vocals on "Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)" led to her first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
In 2000, Mya released her second studio album Fear of Flying. The album spawned the single "Case of the Ex" and scored two nominations: Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Female and Music of Black Origin Award for Best Album. In 2001, alongside Christina Aguilera, P!nk, and Lil’ Kim, she covered "Lady Marmalade". Their rendition was a global hit and spent five weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Its success led to accolades in 2001 and 2002, including a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Harrison's participation in the musical Chicago earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award and Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Acting Ensemble.
Harrison released her third studio album Moodring in 2003. It earned her two MTV Video Music Award nominations for Best Dance Video and Best Choreography. At the 2005 MTV Movie Awards, Harrison scored a nomination for Best Frightened Performance, for her role of Jenny Tate in the horror film Cursed. She was honored in 2006 at the Palm Beach International Film Festival, receiving the Cross Over Award (from singer to actor). Her eighth independent project Smoove Jones received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards. She has won over 27 awards from 68 nominations.
