IMDB has put in the wrong birth year for singer/actress Mya. It says she was born in 1978 but her true birth year is 1979. Is there any way to correct it?

Hi Jordan Wright,

Mya's Biography provides contradictory information:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0616550/bio

Date of Birth 10 October 1978Washington, District of Columbia, USA

Mini bio:
Mýa Marie Harrison (born October 10, 1979), professionally referred to as Mýa, is an American R&B and pop recording artist, entertainer, philanthropist, and actress.

Obviously, one of these dates are wrong.

Users can submit corrections to birth dates. However, there needs to be supporting evidence for the correct date.

  • We do not consider Wikipedia (or other collaboratively edited wiki-style sites) to be an acceptable source for birth dates. However, many Wikipedia articles include online citations and external links which provide supporting evidence of the subject's birth date, and these are often appropriate URLs to include in your submission.
  • We are looking for links to public records, printed publications, or official documents.
  • We do allow social media links to be an acceptable source for birth dates (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
According to what appears to be Mya's official web site:
http://www.myamya.com/facts/
Birth Name: Mya Marie Harrison   Latin Meaning: Mya
Birth Date: October 10, 1979    /    Birth Time: 6:57am EST

Her birth year is incorrect. It says she was born in 1978 but her true birth year is 1979. If you can let IMDB know that it needs to be corrected I will gladly appreciate it.
