Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23, 1992) is a 1992-11-23 singer-songwriter, actress, and entertainer. She is the third daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus and god-daughter of Dolly Parton, both country music legends. During her youth, she played minor characters in several films before she found her big break on the Disney Channel show Hannah Montan where Cyrus played Miley Stewart, a teenager who attempts to live a normal life while secretly maintaining her status as Hannah Montana, one of the world's most famous pop stars. Like her character in the show, Cyrus quickly became one of the biggest names in the music industry with over a dozen top-five albums on the US Billboard 200 chart. Cyrus is also an advocate for many causes, forming the Happy Hippie Foundation in 2014 to serve homeless youth, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other vulnerable populations.
