Born November 23, 1992 in Nashville, Tennessee, Cyrus developed a love for the stage after watching her dad, country singer and actor Bill Ray Cyrus, perform. After appearing as an extra in her dad's television projects, Cyrus got her first chance to act opposite him in a recurring role on the television series "Doc." Since then, she guested - starred on "Love Boat; The Next Wave" and appeared in the Tim Burton film "Big Fish."

Since recently relocated to Los Angeles from Nashville with her parents, sister Brandi and Noah, brothers Trace and Braison and their dog Loco. Their seven horses, three dogs and two cats remain in Nashville under her grandmother's care - one of the most difficult adjustments for Cyrus who enjoys braiding the horse's tails. Now in her spare time in Los Angeles, she enjoys talking on the phone with friends back home. She also follows in her father's footsteps by writing music, playing guitar and singing. Her musical influences are pos singers Kelly Clarkson, Hillary Duff and Ashley Simpson. In addition, she enjoys dancing and cheerleading - ESPN continues to rebroadcast competitions which features her Tennessee Premiere Cheerleading squad.

Miley suffers from tachycardia, which is a heart condition that causes her resting heart rate to excel at a faster pace than a normal resting rate

Miley was born left-handed, just like her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. He believes that lefties have to learn everything backwards in life, so he trained Miley to write with her right hand from a very early age. To this day, she does use her right hand for that purpose, but she is a lefty with everything else. She has joked that if anyone dislikes her handwriting, they should talk to her dad about it

Changed her name jan 2008

Miley Cyrus was born in Franklin, Tennessee on the 23^rd of November 1992.  But she didn’t come into this world as Miley, infact her name was Destiny Hope Cyrus as her Famous father Billy Ray Cyrus always knew it was her destiny to bring hope to the world which is why she got her name. But being the bubbly girl that she was and is, always happy and smiling she was nicknamed ‘Smiley’ by her family. This was then shortened to Miley which then lead onto her changing her name officially in 2008 to Miley Ray Cyrus taking the same middle name as her Father. Miley lived with her family, Father Billy Ray, Mother Tish and her older siblings, her sister Brandi and brother Trace, she also had two younger, her Sister and brother Noah and Braison.

With her brother being Trace Cyrus out of Metro station and her Father being a well known country and western singer it was no surprise that Miley loved the attention and fame and her dream was too follow there footsteps and become famous. From a young age Miley was always on stage with her dad and would run on after his show to make sure she was in the spotlight for a extra few minutes.

As Miley grew up she ventoured more and  more into music, playing the piano and writing songs was what she loved to do. At the age of 11 she started auditioning for the role of Lilly in Hannah Montanna. After months of getting turned down  for being too young miley never gave up and was exstatic when she was told they were impressed with the small southern girls big voice and big talent that’s she had been given the lead role as Hannah Montanna, soon after that her father Billy auditioned to play her on screen father and got the part.

Although Miley as always wanted to be famous and be acting, shes always loved music. Miley is left handed like her dad but Miley quotes in her book, 'My dad is also a lefty, but hes convinced that im right handed' Shes plays piano and writes alot of songs, songs that then went onto follow her in the show Hanna Montanna and Miley got too do the two things she loved best, singing and acting, what more could she wish for. “I have four shelves covered with journals that’s ive written. Dad and I are always writing songs together. I probably have written 100 songs!”

After 6 years doing the show Hannah Montanna had to come to an end. The show had produced Miley with three CD's from Hannah Montanna and then going onto making Meet Miley Cyrus, and then Breakout which went platinum, Miley was well on her way to being the star she dreamed. Miley then put her talent of acting and singing into a Hannah Montanna the movie she said “it is important to remember that I am a real person, have feelings and all that crazy stuff. I think this movie is really going to prove that to people. It all is real” After her first big movie it then led onto her being in the movie The Last Song, directed by Nicholas sparks who also made the award winning film, the Notebook.

Miley after finishing the 6 year show then turned 17 and became independent and wanted the world to see her as a mature new artist that grew from the little girl in Hannah Montanna shows. She started writing and produced her 8th CD, cant be tamed which also feautured other of her songs she had wrote. In the music video she seen as a bird like animal in a cage which people have put there opinions out of how they think she is too sexy for her age, Ryan seacrest twitterd 'wow. This is a sexy video' Theres no denying that but as Miley explained on sit down with E News, 'Thats not the premise behind Cant Be Tamed. The video isnt about being sexy or about who can wear less clothes. Its about explaining the song and living the lyrics, I don’t want to be in a cage, I want to be free and do what I love’

Miley turned eighteen in November and is now starring in a remake of a french film called LOL, where Demi Moore plays her on screen mother. It seems Miley is alsways going to be seen as a Disney Hannah Montanna star even at the age of eighteen, despite all the bad media and grief shes gets from growing up, Miley is determined to carry on with her dream of Singing and acting and inspiring people. Lets just hope people give her the chance to grow and show people the real Miley Cyrus.
