About Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus became a household name in 2006, when she quickly rose to fame playing the lead role in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. The show was a massive hit and made Miley a teen idol almost overnight. Her singing career began simultaneously, as she released music under the name Hannah Montana, which was featured on the show's soundtrack.

After signing a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2007, Miley released her debut studio album, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, which was the soundtrack to the Hannah Montana series as well. The album was a commercial success, reaching the top of the Billboard 200 chart and being certified triple-platinum.

Miley's musical style matured as she grew up, with her next album, 2010's Can't Be Tamed, showcasing a more dance-oriented sound. The album featured the hit single of the same name and caused controversy due to the lyrics and music video. By 2013, Miley had signed with RCA Records and released Bangerz, which introduced her new sound with a hip-hop influence. The album featured the smash hits "Wrecking Ball" and "We Can't Stop" and earned Miley more than 40 awards.

Miley continued to push the boundaries of her music and image with the release of Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, which was available for free on Soundcloud in 2015. This experimental album featured a psychedelic sound and was a stark contrast to her previous work, further solidifying Miley as an unpredictable and versatile artist.

In 2017, Miley returned to her roots and released "Malibu," a single that marked her return to a more country-inspired sound. In interviews, Miley shared that she wanted to distance herself from the hip-hop scene and return to her musical roots.

Aside from her music, Miley is also known for her philanthropic work, donating generously to various charitable organizations. She has also been an advocate for LGBT rights and is a co-founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to help homeless and LGBT youth.
