Recording star/actress/dancer Mya ("Chicago") will appear as herself in the July 24 episode of "Passions." Mya will sing her new single, "My Love Is Like...Wo," from her upcoming album, "Moodring" (Interscope/A&M). Mya's appearance highlights the start of "Hot L.A. Passions," a new summer story arc.
The story centers around a visit to Los Angeles by six core characters. In the episode, music producer Chad (Charles Divins) and Whitney (Brook Kerr) enjoy a romantic evening at a Los Angeles beach club where Mya is performing. She performs "My Love Is Like...Wo," backed by her dance troop and the club audience erupts in wild applause.
Additional characters in the "Hot L.A. Passions" storyline include; Nicholas Foxworth Crane (Justin Hartley), Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald (Lindsay Korman), Ethan Winthrop (Eric Martsolf) and Gwen Winthrop (Liza Huber).
Mya, who studied tap dance under the tutelage of Savion Glover ("Bring on Da Noise, Bring on Da Funk"), recently appeared in the Oscar-winning feature film "Chicago" in the role of Mona. She also sang "Where the Dream Takes You" in the animated film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire," and she teamed with fellow singing stars Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Pink to sing the Grammy winning #1 smash hit "Lady Marmalade," one of the signature songs from the hit feature "Moulin Rouge."
Mya also appeared in the film "In Too Deep" and in the miniseries "The Blues." In addition, she often serves as a presenter at many entertainment awards shows, such as "The American Music Awards" and "The MTV Video Music Awards."
