Bruno Tonioli
on Mya's Foxtrot"Mya, this Foxtrox perfectly captured the glamourous aura of the Hollywood golden age."
-
Len Goodman
on Mya's Foxtrot"Too many gimmicks, too many unncessary bits and lunges. I'm not interested in all that stuff."

STAR BIO
DANCE PARTNER: Dmitry Chaplin
PROFESSION:
Singer, songwriter, record producer, actor
BACKGROUND:
Will we watch this sultry singer find her Latin rhythm and rumba away with the treasured disco ball?
Grammy Award® winning multi-platinum artist Mya, became a star at the age of 18 with her eponymous debut album which yielded three Top-10 singles. In addition to releasing five full length albums, one of which went platinum and another, gold, she tangoed her way into our hearts in the acclaimed film Chicago.
Since Chicago, Mya has appeared in several more movies and signed onto a modeling contract. Her fourth and fifth studio albums, Liberation and Sugar & Spice, respectively, have been released in Japan and her sixth studio album is due to be released on her independent label.
Mya is a long time advocate for young women. We were most impressed to hear that she founded The Mya Arts & Tech Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing disadvantaged youth growth and opportunity through arts & technology education. She serves as both executive director and teacher for the foundation.
With such a full schedule, we're sure glad Mya found enough time to make her way to the DWTS stage. Can't wait to see how far she goes!
