Early life

Cyrus was born in Nashville, Tennessee on November 23, 1992[8] to Leticia "Tish" (née Finley) and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.[2] Cyrus has five siblings. Her elder siblings Trace and Brandi Cyrus were Tish's children from a previous relationship, whom Billy Ray adopted when they were very young.[9] Trace is a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic rock band Metro Station,[10] while Brandi has played guitar for Cyrus' concerts and formed a band with The Secret Life of the American Teenager star Megan Park.[11] Cyrus also has an older half-brother, Christopher Cody, from her father's previous relationship.[12] Cyrus also has a younger brother, Braison, and a younger sister, Noah, who is also an actress.[12] She is the granddaughter of politician Ron Cyrus.[citation needed]

Cyrus' parents named her Destiny Hope because they believed that she would accomplish great things.[2] She was nicknamed "Smiley", later shortened to "Miley", because she kept smiling as a baby.[2] She is of part Cherokee descent.[13] Cyrus attended Heritage Middle School, where she was a cheerleader.[14] She currently attends school at Options For Youth.[15] and studies with a private tutor on the set of her TV show.[16] Cyrus grew up on her parents' farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee where she regularly attended The People's Church.[17][18]



Career

2001-2005: Early work

Cyrus' early career was marked by minor roles. At the age of nine, Cyrus became interested on pursuing a career in acting. During her family's four-year period life in Toronto, Canada she began taking classes at the Armstrong Acting Studio.[19] Cyrus' first acting role was as a minor guest star on her father's television series Doc, in which she played a girl named Kylie.[3][20] In 2003, Cyrus played "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish and was credited to by her birth name.

Cyrus began auditioning for the role of the "best friend" in a Disney Channel about a "secret pop star" when she was twelve.[21] Disney Channel executives judged her to be too young. However, Cyrus was persistent in her desire to be part of the series, so Disney called her back for further auditions. She eventually also auditioned for the protagonist, Zoe Stewart which was then altered to her own name. According to Disney Channel's president Gary Marsh, Cyrus was chosen for the show because of her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who "loves every minute of life,"[22] with the "everyday relatability [sic] of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain."[17] Cyrus spent several years in attempt of lose her Southern accent, though Disney later became interested in including it to the storyline. Later, Cyrus had to audition her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, for the role of the main character's father.[23] The show, like many on the network, focuses on adolescence, meanwhile incorporating a "secret identity" as a pop star and music.
