About Miley Cyrus

Is she a multi-platinum teen pop rock superstar or does she just play one on TV? Either way, the daughter of Achy Breaky Heart singer and mullet rocker, Billy Ray Cyrus, is a modern teen icon. Miley burst on the scene in 2006 as her alter ego Hannah Montana in the Disney TV show of the same name. The soundtrack followed and immediately went to number 1, beating out several other artists, such as John Legend. Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus followed, a unique double disc in which one disc was by Miley’s character Hannah and the other was the debut album of Miley herself. In 2008, Miley released her second studio album Breakout. It was her first album to not mention the Hannah Montana character. It also debuted at number 1, largely on the strength of the single, “7 Things.” The album also features a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, as well as fellow pop queen Katy Perry on backup vocals on the title track, “Breakout.” Miley also participated on the Artists Stand Up to Cancer track, “Just Stand Up!”, with several other artists like Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Fergie, Rihanna, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, Keyshia Cole, Ashanti, and Ciara. She also recorded songs for the movie soundtrack to Bolt and admitted to dating Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers for 2 years.
