Today we’d like to introduce you to Mya Silva.
So, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I am an artist from Brockton, Massachusetts and I just moved to LA in March. I grew up around music so I’ve always known that I wanted to be a musician. I started off playing trumpet from elementary school through high school then decided to go to Berklee College of Music as a voice principal and major in Music Business. Due to COVID, I moved to LA a little sooner than expected but now I am just focused on creating/ releasing new music under a new artist name, LÉA, and discovering myself and my place in the industry!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Going to a music school filled with talented individuals made it harder for me to see my own potential causing a lot of issues with confidence. For a long time, I lost sight of what I’ve always wanted and loved to do which was making my own music. I didn’t believe that people would listen to my music or that what I envisioned and created was good but I eventually realized that if I want something, I need to go for it, regardless of what others want for or from me.
Can you give our readers some background on your music?
I am a singer/songwriter and recording artist. I write and record my own music as well as producing and mixing some of the new music I have coming out soon! I have an alternative sound and create music for you to vibe to.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I feel that authenticity in what I do and who I am is an important quality in order for me to be successful. I feel like I could have everything in the world but If I have lost myself or don’t know who I am / what really makes me happy, then I can’t be truly successful or satisfied.
