원래 춤꾼으로 알려진 Mya(마야)는 시간이 갈수록 춤보다는 노래의 세계에 푹 빠져버렸다. Brandy(브랜디)와 Aaliyah(알리야)가 장악했던 방송계의 틈바구니를 파고 들어간 마야는 그 이후로 거침없는 질주를 멈추지 않는다. Babyface(베이비페이스), Swizz Beatz(스위스 비츠), Dru Hill(드루 힐), Missy Elliott(미시 엘리엇), Wyclef Jean(와이클리프 진) 등 걸출한 인물들로만 이뤄진 그녀의 막강 제작팀은 그녀의 든든한 버팀목이다. 1998년의 셀프 타이틀 데뷔 앨범 만큼이나 강한 인상으로 차트 정상을 석권한 2000년 앨범 [Fear Of Flying]을 봤을 때도 그녀의 열정은 조만간 식을 틈이 없으리라는 것을 짐작할 수 있다. .... ....
