Mya To Dance All Over The Stars

Mya
Mya looks forward to winning 'Dancing with the Stars' but admits that accomplishing that task will take hard work, discipline and a phenomenal trainer.

"If I were to win this competition, well, I would have to pat myself and my trainer on the back for being disciplined," says Mya.

As previously reported on Singersroom, Mya is the latest celebrity to sign on for the hit ABC reality dance competition 'Dancing with the Stars'.

Slated to premiere September 21, the new season features Aaron Carter, Macy Gray and Melissa Joan Hart, among others.

In related news, Mya says new music is on the way for U.S. fans, after a 2008 Japan only release.

"Ive
released a couple Japanese albums as well in the meantime, but I know
my U.S. fans are waiting for music and there is a good reason for the
pause which Ill discuss later...," Mya tells Chris Yandek of CY Interview.

"Right now I have a mixed tape coming. Its called Beauty & The Streets Vol 1 on
Planet 9, Young Empire and Fontana/Universal. Thats coming out 9/29.
Its more of a hip-hop R&B album versus the R&B Pop Mya."

Since making a strong debut with Dru Hill's Sisqo on "It's All About Me" in 1998, Mya has released three studio albums in the United States, including 2003's "Moodring". Her last effort, titled "Sugar & Spice," was released in Japan in December of 2008.
