The Story
Miley Ray Cyrus is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who first rose to fame as the star of the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana (2006-2011), where she performed under her real name alongside her fictional pop-star alter ego. The daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, she launched her music career on the back of the show's success, co-writing part of her Disney-era catalogue under her birth name alongside professional writers who handled much of the material. Beginning with the album Bangerz (2013) and accelerating dramatically through Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015), a psychedelic record she co-wrote and co-produced entirely with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, she evolved into a genuine songwriter and producer in her own right. Her most commercially successful post-Disney album, Plastic Hearts (2020), was co-written and co-produced alongside Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson, and her 2023 hit 'Flowers' was a co-written Grammy-winning achievement of personal songwriting. Her career traces a clear evolution from teen performer to self-authored artist across the modern pop era.
