About Miley

Biography

Miley Ray Cyrus is an American actress, song writer and pop singer (born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23rd, 1992). She achieved her fame for her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. Cyrus recorded music for the soundtracks, Hannah Montana (2006) and Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus (2007), released by Walt Disney Records. With the success from the Hannah Montana franchise, she soon became a teen idol. In 2007, Cyrus signed to Hollywood Records to persue a solo career. She went on the Best Of Both World Tour in the same year, in which she performed as both herself and her character, Hannah Montana. The tour was eventually turned into a DVD called Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008), which earned $70,642,036. In April 2008, Miley released her first solo album, Breakout, which was commercially successful.

She began her career into film by providing the voice of “Penny” in the animated film Bolt (2008). Cyrus earned a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for her performance of Bolt’s theme song, “I Thought I Lost You“. She also brought her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana into film, in Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009). The movie’s soundtrack introduced her to new audiences, within country and adult contemporary markets.

She began to bring out an adult image in 2009, with the release of The Time Of Our Lives, an extended play which presented a more mainstream pop sound, and by filming The Last Song (2010), a coming-of-age drama film. The album included Cyrus’ best-selling single, Party In The U.S.A. A studio album titled Can’t Be Tamed was released in 2010, and presents a new dance-pop sound. The music video and lyrics of the album’s lead single “Can’t Be Tamed”, shows off a more sexualized image for the entertainer. Cyrus ranked #13 on Forbes’ 2010 Celebrity 100. For the 2011 Guinness book of world records, she was named the “Most Charted Teenager” following her 29th US Billboard Hot 100 chart entry on November 7, 2009 with Party in the USA.

Miley was born and raised in Tennessee to parents Leticia “Tish” Cyrus, and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Her parents named her Destiny Hope, because they believed that she would accomplish great things in her life. They gave her the nickname “Smiley“, which was later shortened to Miley, because she smiled so much as a baby. Cyrus suffers from a mild heart condition causing tachycardia, but isn’t life-threatening.

2001 – 2005: Career Beginnings

In 2001, when Miley was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada while her father filmed the television series Doc. Cyrus said watching her father film the show inspired her to pursue acting. In her first role, Cyrus played a girl named Kylie on Doc. In 2003, Cyrus was credited under her birth name for her role as “Young Ruthie” in Tim Burton’s Big Fish.

At age 11, Cyrus learned about the casting for what became Hannah Montana, a Disney Channel children’s television series about a school girl with a secret double life as a teen pop star. Cyrus sent in a tape auditioning for the show’s best friend role, but received a call asking her to audition for the lead, “Chloe Stewart“.After sending in a new tape and flying to Hollywood for further auditions, Cyrus was told that she was too young and too small for the part. However, her persistence and ability to sing in addition to act led the show’s producers to invite her back for further auditions. Cyrus eventually received the lead, renamed “Miley Stewart” after herself, at the age of twelve. 

For Miley’s music career, Tish followed the advice of Dolly Parton, Cyrus’s godmother and a singer herself, and signed Cyrus with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group. “Dolly said the Moreys are people you can trust around your daughter,” Tish Cyrus recalls, “and she said they have good morals, which is not always the case in this business.” According to trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter, Parton’s advice was “the best advice Tish could have gotten on who should rep her daughter.” Tish also recruited Billy Ray’s business manager to manage her daughter’s finances. Tish herself continues to co-manage or produce many of Cyrus’s career decisions.

2006 – 2007: Hannah Montana and Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana became an instant hit and propelled Miley to teen idol status. The series premiered on 26th March 2006, to the largest audience ever for a Disney Channel show and soon became one of the highest rated series on basic cabel – elevating Miley’s wealth and fame along with it.

Miley’s first release under her own name was a cover of James Baskett’s Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, released on 4th April 2006, on the fourth edition of DisneyMania.

The first disk was the soundtrack to the second season of Hannah Montana, while the second, titled Meet Miley Cyrus, was Miley’s debut album under her own name. The album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and was later certified three times platinum by the Recording Industry Accociation of America. See You Again, the first single released off the album, was also her first top ten hit on Billboard Hot 100.

On 22nd July 2008, Miley released her second studio album, Breakout. She said the album was inspired by “what’s been going on in my life in the past year”.

Miley's Tattoos

Miley Cyrus has 14 tattoos – Just Breathe on her chest, Love in her ear, a dreamcatcher on her side, an anchor on her right wrist, an om symbol of her left wrist, a skull on her ankle, and Love Never Dies on her arm, and Roman Numerals on the other. On her fingers she has an equal sign, a peace symbol, a cross, a heart, the word Karma and an eye.

 » Just Breathe

Miley’s first tattoo was “Just Breathe”, on the left side of her rib cage. The tattoo was revealed in December 2009. The tattoo is a tribute to her friend Vanessa who died of cystic fibrosis in 2007, and both her grandfathers who died of lung cancer. She told Harper’s Bazaar: “It reminds me not to take things for granted. I mean breathing – that was something none of them could do, the most basic thing. And I put it near my heart, because that is where they will always be.”

» Love

Miley’s second tattoo is the word “LOVE” on the inside of her right ear. The tattoo and its placement signify drowning out negative messages and only hearing the positive. She told Access Hollywood: “I have ‘Love’ right here to block out all the crap that everyone throws into your ears… I don’t really care about it. You’re only supposed to hear the things coming from the people that genuinely love you.” She also told E! News: “There’s so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love. People try to say to me, ‘I just heard someone say this or that about you,’ and I just ignore it because it’s irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that’s all we need to focus on.”

» Dreamcatcher

In February 2011, Miley had a dreamcatcher tattooed on her right side. A friend told People Magazine: “It’s a picture of a dreamcatcher that hangs over her bed with four feathers to represent her four brothers and sisters. The dream catcher is to protect them.” Dreamcatchers are used in many Native American cultures to protect a person while sleeping, thought to catch bad dreams and let good dreams through when hung over the bed. Miley’s brother Trace also has a dreamcatcher on his neck.

» Anchor

Miley got an anchor tattoo on her wrist while she was in Brazil for her Gypsy Heart Tour in May 2011. The tattoo artist, Fabio Satori, eplained that the tattoo represents a feeling of safety to Miley, saying: “Everyone had an idea in mind and references. She asked me something soft, I made two drawings and she chose one. Miley told her mother that she wanted something that refers to a safe port, something that reminded her that she always has a safe place to return to. The significance of the design is one of hope and a reminder to always have your feet on the ground.”

 » Om Symbol

Miley got another tattoo on her left wrist of the ‘Om’ symbol ॐ, which is a sacred symbol in Hinduism. It is a sound or vibration that represents divine energy.

 » Heart 

The first of the small tattoos on Miley’s fingers was the small outline of a heart which she had tattoed on her right pinkie finger, in September 2010. This tattoo is shared between their family. Billy Ray had the tattoo in 2008, out of his love for Miley. They were sitting in church when Miley drew a small heart on his hand between his thumb and index finger. He told Access Hollywood that he “had already declared that day was Miley’s day”. She wanted to take him to a tattoo parlor and so he decided to get the heart in ink. Miley’s mum Tish has the heart tattoo on her pinkie too, coloured in pink. Her sister Brandi has hers in the same place as Billy Ray and brother Trace has a solid black heart on his thumb.

 » Cross

Miley has a little cross on her right hand on the side of her finger, which was first seen in 2010

»Peace

She also has a peace sign on the side of her middle finger.

» Karma

In July 2011, Miley got the word “karma” on the side of her index finger, which was first clearly noticed during the Gypsy Heart Tour.

» Equal Sign

Miley has only spoken about one of her finger tattoos, which is the equal sign on her ring finger. She got the tattoo in July 2011, tweeting a photo of the ink saying “All LOVE is equal” as a statement in favour of legalized gay marriage. The tattoo caused controversy from the media but Miley stood her ground. She told Glamour in February 2012: ‘When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, “All LOVE is equal,” a lot of people mocked me – they said, “What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl” And I said, “Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have our facts straight. Christianity is about love.

» Eye

In March 2012, a tattoo which looks like an eye was spotted on Miley’s index finger. It is thought to be a Nazar, a symbol intended to ward off the “evil eye”.

» Skull

Miley and her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth have matching tattoos on their ankles which were first spotted in August 2011. It is believed to be a sugar skull, though the tattoos still haven’t been seen clearly.

» Love Never Dies

In February 2012, Miley got another tattoo on the inside of her left arm, on her bicep, which says “Love Never Dies”.

 » Roman Numerals

The tattoo which she got in May 2012 is Roman Numerals on the inside of her left elbow. The numerals are VIIXCI.

          » Theodore Roosevelt Quote

In July 2012, Miley got a quote on the inside of her left forearm. The tattoo reads “so that his places shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” The quote is from former US president Theodore Roosevelt’s “Citizenship in a Rebublic” speech given in Paris in 1910.

» BAD

Miley Cyrus was photographed in July 2012 with the word “BAD” tattooed on her finger in red ink. The tattoo seems to be a tribute to Michael Jackson’s album Bad which has the album name written in red. Miley has described herself as “a huge fan of Michael Jackson” and says that he is the male artist who has inspired her the most (Lady Gaga is her female inspiration). Speaking of Michael’s passing in 2009, Miley wrote “Michael Jackson was my inspiration. Love and blessings.”

Crossed arrows

In January 2013 Miley got a pair of crossed arrows on the back of her right elbow, which are a Native American symbol of friendship. She got the tattoo from artist Kat Von D. “Simple symbols of friendship make beautiful tattoos. <3″ Kat wrote.

»

Miles to Go has sold more than 2 million copies, selling over 1,000 copies the first day of its release. On a Today Show interview in April 2009, Cyrus said, "In my book, I want readers to feel what I feel; the emotion and power. I've explained how things went through in my life and how I've done it all. I just don't want my fans to come up to me and say all these things saying that famous is the best thing in the world. The popularity is pretty high and I want readers to understand that it is not that way about being a celebrity and not read it all for nothing." The book was listed on the Bestsellers chart at #78 out of 100.

The book, in which Cyrus writes about how she is an ordinary girl living her dream life, includes stories, poems, songs, photos and quotations from the Bible.
