BiographyMiley Ray Cyrus ( MY-lee SY-rəs, born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, actress and director. Regarded as a contemporary pop icon, Cyrus has been recognized for her evolving artistry and image reinventions. She is a daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and 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), which evolved into a commercially successful franchise. As Hannah Montana, she achieved success on the Billboard charts with two number-one soundtracks.

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 one of the best-selling singles of all time, and was certified 14-times platinum in the US. She tried to establish a mature image with her dance-pop album Can't Be Tamed (2010), which received mixed reviews. Cyrus signed to RCA Records and took a new artistic direction with the hip hop and R&B-influenced Bangerz (2013), her fifth chart-topping album. It yielded the hit single "We Can't Stop" and her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one "Wrecking Ball". She incorporated experimental music on Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015), country pop on Younger Now (2017), and rock genres on Plastic Hearts (2020). Cyrus signed to Columbia Records in 2021, and released her eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation (2023). Its lead single "Flowers" became internationally successful, marking her second US number-one song, and winning two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year. Her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful (2025), is a visual album accompanied by a musical film of the same name.

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 as one of the greatest artists of all time, 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).
