SUMMARY:FRONT ROW at NMAAM presents: Mýa!
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-Award Winner. Soul of the 90s Honoree. NMAAM BMM 2026 Soundtrack Marshal. \nFriday\, June 26\, 2026 | 7:00 PM doors / 8:00 PM start\nNational Museum of African American Music | 510 Broadway\, Nashville\, TN \nThe night BET Awards Weekend lands in Nashville\, NMAAM closes Black Music Month 2026 with the Grammy-winning voice behind a generation of R&B. Lady Marmalade. Ghetto Supastar. Case of the Ex. It’s All About Me. The catalog is the soundtrack. The artist is in the room. \nThis is not a concert. It is something rarer. \n\nABOUT FRONT ROW AT NMAAM \nFRONT ROW is the museum’s signature artist series\, an intimate\, in-conversation experience where the audience sits close enough to hear the artist breathe between answers. No stage between the artist and the room. No barrier between the music and the truth of how it got made. Past honorees include Jon Batiste\, Michelle Williams\, PJ Morton\, and The War & Treaty. \nFRONT ROW w/ Mýa is the closing chapter of NMAAM’s Black Music Month 2026 season\, the final marshal moment in a four-marshal family that includes PJ Morton as Grand Marshal\, Summer Joy as Emerging Marshal\, and Rissi Palmer as Mission Marshal. Mýa joins them as Soundtrack Marshal\, recognizing her quarter-century contribution to the soundtrack of contemporary R&B. \nThe evening is built in three movements: a Soul of the 90s Honor presentation\, a moderated conversation with Dyana Williams\, and a DJ-led listening celebration that lets the catalog breathe alongside her new album\, Retrospect. \n\nABOUT MÝA \nGrammy-Award winner Mýa is one of contemporary R&B’s most consistently reinventive voices. Since her 1998 debut\, she has built a 25-year career defined by versatility\, longevity\, and the rare ability to keep landing on the charts while never repeating herself. Her catalog includes It’s All About Me\, Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)\, Case of the Ex\, and the Grammy-winning Lady Marmalade\, a song that defined a Billboard moment and is now marking its 25th anniversary. \nBeyond the music\, Mýa is a Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actress whose credits include the Academy Award-winning Chicago\, Cursed\, NCIS\, and EA’s James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing. She founded Planet 9\, an independent platform that produced the Grammy-nominated Smoove Jones\, and she has been recognized by Billboard as one of the Top Female Artists of the 21st Century. \nIn 2026\, Mýa marks the 25th anniversaries of both Lady Marmalade and Fear of Flying with her new album Retrospect\, a body of work that looks both backward and forward at once. FRONT ROW w/ Mýa is the conversation around all of it. \n\nABOUT THE MODERATOR \nDyana Williams is the Mother of Black Music Month. \nA founding board member of NMAAM\, co-founder of the federal recognition of June as Black Music Month\, and CEO of Influence Entertainment\, Williams has spent more than 50 years shaping how American radio talks about Black music. Her client work has included Rihanna\, Justin Bieber\, Fantasia\, and ASAP Rocky. Her commentary work spans BET\, VH1\, and TV One’s Unsung. Her advocacy founded the International Association of African American Music (IAAAM). \nShe is the rare interviewer who has lived inside the industry that made Mýa’s career possible. The conversation will be a real one. \n\nABOUT NMAAM \nThe National Museum of African American Music is the only museum in the world dedicated to preserving and celebrating the music African Americans created\, influenced\, and inspired. The American soundtrack would not exist without the African American contribution. NMAAM tells that story in full. \nNMAAM is the designated home of Black Music Month. Located at 510 Broadway in downtown Nashville. Visit nmaam.org for membership\, exhibitions\, and upcoming programming. \n\nWHY THIS NIGHT MATTERS \nThis is the only ticketed FRONT ROW of BMM 2026. The only Mýa moment in Nashville. The closing of a season that began on June 1 with The Prelude and ends with this room. \nTickets are limited. The room holds 400. Members get first access. Public tickets open after. \nCome early. Stay through the conversation. Stay through the celebration. The soundtrack continues. \n  \nGet Tickets!
