Mya Rose Gill (stage name Mya Rose, formerly Mya Rose Wilkins) is an indie folk-alternative artist, born 4 September 1979. She has spent the last 13 years gigging around the world from huge stages to street corners, from Korea to England, California to North Carolina.[1] Her music is described as 'soulful vocals backed by rockin' folk with a hint of country'.
At 18 she co-created the indie rock group Slappin Patties and was the band's lead vocalist, songwriter and acoustic guitarist. While Mya was with Slappin Patties they released the album 'Take Me Home'. After the group disbanded in 2002 Mya played solo until creating a new band: Mya Rose & the Flux band. After breaking away from the Flux band in 2006 Mya continued her solo act. Also in 2006, Mya Rose wrote, recorded, & produced her first solo album: 'breaking free.' Half of this CD was recorded on her 30' O'day sloop, "Risky Business". In 2008 she completed her second solo album 'Sailin' South' aboard her boat studio "Burnett Trilogy", a 30' Pearson sloop in the harbor of Ocracoke, North Carolina while living out on the hook in the O'day.[1]
