Josh Sanchez serves as her primary agent. The move brings one of R&B's most decorated and enduring voices into the fold of the world's most powerful talent agency.The signing arrives on the momentum of RETROSPECT, her ninth studio album released May 15, 2026 through her independent imprint Planet 9 in partnership with Virgin Music Group.The project, her first full-length in eight years, is a funk, soul, and R&B-drenched record steeped in the sounds of late-'70s and '80s Minneapolis funk, featuring collaborations with Too $hort and 21 Savage. Lead single "A.S.A.P." debuted at No. 22 on Adult R&B Songs, marking her first entry on that chart.The album follows a career that spans the global No. 1 hit "Lady Marmalade," which earned her a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, and the SAG Award-winning ensemble of Chicago.Since going independent in 2008, Mya has operated without a major booking agency, releasing projects on her own terms through Planet 9 with full creative control.WME has been actively building its music roster through 2026, having recently added Robbie Williams and Hunter Flynn to its worldwide roster.She performed at the 2025 BET Awards as part of the 106 & Park 25th anniversary tribute and was slated as a supporting act for The Pussycat Dolls' PCD Forever North American tour before its cancellation. A headline fall tour in support of RETROSPECT is now on the horizon.TakeawaysThis signing is a full-circle moment. Mya spent nearly two decades proving she didn't need a big agency, building creative ownership, releasing music on her own schedule, and maintaining a fiercely loyal global fanbase without the traditional machinery behind her.Now, with RETROSPECT generating genuine buzz and chart activity, she's adding WME's global touring infrastructure at exactly the right time. This isn't an artist looking for validation, it's a strategic upgrade timed to a real commercial moment.The fall tour is the headline story here. With WME's live touring network behind her, expect bigger rooms, festival slots, and international dates that simply weren't accessible without a major agency relationship.Could this signing open the door to major festival placements and international touring that her independent model previously limited? What does this partnership tell us about how the live business is evolving for legacy R&B artists?
