BiographyMiley Ray Cyrus ( MY-lee SY-rəs, born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Regarded as a pop icon, Cyrus has been recognized for her evolving artistry and image reinventions. The daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, she was an established child star before developing a successful entertainment career as an adult. Cyrus emerged as a teen idol as the title character in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana (2006–2011), growing a profitable franchise and achieving two number-one soundtracks on the Billboard charts.

Cyrus's solo career started with the US number-one pop rock albums Meet Miley Cyrus (2007) and Breakout (2008). The single "Party in the U.S.A." from her EP The Time of Our Lives (2009) became a best-seller, certified 14-times platinum in the US. She aimed for a mature image with her dance-pop album Can't Be Tamed (2010), which received mixed reviews. Cyrus signed to RCA Records, transitioning to hip hop and R&B with Bangerz (2013), her fifth chart-topping album, featuring "We Can't Stop" and her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one "Wrecking Ball". She explored various genres on her albums Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015), Younger Now (2017), and Plastic Hearts (2020). After signing with Columbia Records, she released her eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation (2023), led by the internationally successful "Flowers", her second US number-one, winning two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year. Her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful (2025), is a visual album and a musical film.

As an actress, Cyrus starred in the films Bolt (2008), Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), The Last Song (2010), LOL (2012), and So Undercover (2013). On television, she was the subject of the documentary Miley: The Movement (2013), led the miniseries Crisis in Six Scenes (2017), served as a coach on two seasons of The Voice (2016–2017), and starred in the "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" episode of Black Mirror (2019). She also hosted the holiday special Miley's New Year's Eve Party (2021–2022).

Cyrus has received various accolades, including three Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, five Billboard Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, and eight Guinness World Records. She was named a Disney Legend, in recognition for her contributions to The Walt Disney Company. Cyrus was ranked the ninth-greatest Billboard 200 female artist, and among the greatest pop stars of the 21st century by Billboard, and is the eighth-highest-certified female digital singles artist by the RIAA. She has featured in listicles such as the Time 100 (2008 and 2014), Forbes Celebrity 100 (2010 and 2015), and 30 Under 30 (2014 and 2021). Outside of entertainment, Cyrus founded the non-profit Happy Hippie Foundation in 2014, which focuses on the LGBTQ community and youth homelessness, and was supported by the web video series Backyard Sessions (2012–2023).
