Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus grew up in Franklin, Tennessee, and was famous before most people finish school, starring as Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel while still a young teenager — her father is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. What makes her story interesting is what came after: she shed that image on her own terms, moving between pop and rock across records that range from the brash Bangerz to the rock-leaning Plastic Hearts. Few child stars have rewritten themselves this completely, or this successfully.

Endless Summer Vacation (2023). Her biggest and most settled record, anchored by "Flowers," the self-reliance anthem that became one of the biggest songs of her career and won the Grammy for Record of the Year. "Jaded" and "Used to Be Young" show the reflective side of the same album.

Biography

Miley Ray Cyrus ( MY-lee SY-rəs, born Destiny Hope Cyrus; November 23, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. An influential figure in popular music, Cyrus is known for her evolving artistry and image reinventions. She was an established child actress before developing a successful entertainment career as an adult. Cyrus emerged as a teen idol with her portrayal of Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana (2006–2011), growing a profitable franchise and achieving two number-one soundtracks on the US Billboard 200.

Cyrus's music career outside of Hannah Montana began with her US number-one albums Meet Miley Cyrus (2007) and Breakout (2008). "Party in the U.S.A.", from her EP The Time of Our Lives (2009), became one of the best-selling singles in the United States. She explored a more provocative image with the dance-pop album Can't Be Tamed (2010) and the trap-infused album Bangerz (2013). The latter's singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" reached numbers two and one on the US Billboard Hot 100 respectively.
