R&B singer and my personal long time crush, Mya recently sat down with VladTV to discuss her process of making music. The DC native says she is in a place where she can create music organically and passionately without feeling pressure from labels, but says she doesn’t like distractions while making her music, and enjoys a glass of wine.

She also dished on the first time she met Pharrell Williams while working on Kelis‘ debut album in Virginia Beach, and then reconnecting for the single ‘Girls Dem Sugar’ with Beenie Man.
