Early life

She has two older half-brothers; Christopher Cody and Trace, the latter being a vocalist and guitarist of an electronic rock band, Metro Station in California.

Disney career


Cyrus was twelve years old when she originally auditioned for Disney for the lead role of Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana, as well as the show's "best friend" roles but Disney Channel executives judged her to be too small. However, Cyrus was persistent in her desire to be part of Hannah Montana, so Disney called her back for further auditions. According to Disney Channel Executive Vice President Gary Marsh,
Cyrus was chosen for the show because of her energetic and lively
performance and was seen as a person who "loves every minute of life",with the "everyday relatability of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain".
She spent several years trying to get rid of her Southern accent, but
in the end Disney wanted her to revive it. Later in an unusual twist,
Cyrus had to audition her own father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to see if he would fit the role as Hannah's dad. Cyrus currently stars in Hannah Montana as the lead character Miley Stewart, whose alter ego is the pop music
sensation Hannah Montana. Cyrus also performs in character as Hannah
Montana for albums and concerts. Cyrus also appeared in the Disney
Channel Hannah Montana promotion, "Hannah Montana's Backstage
Secrets", in which she portrays Hannah Montana in a fictional interview
set in the show's canon.
Cyrus had a brief cameo in the 2007 television movie High School Musical 2
credited as "Girl at Pool", where she danced before the end credits in
front of the pool wearing a yellow baby doll top and denim Bermuda
shorts. Cyrus also guest-starred as Yatta on Disney Channel's The Emperor's New School.
While attending the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
premiere, Cyrus stated that they are working on ideas for a Hannah
Montana movie. The feature-length film is to be produced by Cyrus's
both on and off-screen dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.Hannah Montana: The Movie is scheduled for an April 10, 2009 release.
Cyrus was invited to present the song "That's How You Know" from the film Enchanted at the 80th Academy Awards. She also hosted the 2008 CMT Music Awards with her father in April.

Music career
Studio albums

Walt Disney Records released the first Hannah Montana soundtrack,
on October 24, 2006. The soundtrack included eight of the songs that

On June 26, 2007, exactly eight months after the release of the first soundtrack, Cyrus released a double album, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. The first disc served as the second Hannah Montana
soundtrack, while the second disc was Cyrus's debut solo album as
herself. She wrote eight of the ten songs, credited by her birth name
Destiny Hope Cyrus. The single "See You Again" became Cyrus's first song to enter the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
