Miley Cyrus - 2010 American Music Awards at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles California
American actress and pop singer
Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus; November 23, 1992) is an
American actress and pop singer. She achieved wide fame for her role as
Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel sitcom Hannah
Montana.
Cyrus recorded music for the soundtracks, Hannah Montana (2006) and
Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus (2007), released by Walt Disney
Records. With the success of the Hannah Montana franchise she
established herself as a teen idol. In 2007, Cyrus signed to Hollywood
Records to pursue a solo career. She went on the Best of Both Worlds
Tour the same year, in which she performed as both herself and in
character as Hannah Montana. The tour was eventually turned into a
high-grossing concert film entitled Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus:
Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008). In July 2008, Cyrus released her
first solo album, Breakout (2008), which was commercially successful.
She began her foray into film by providing the voice of "Penny" in the
animated film Bolt (2008). Cyrus earned a nomination for the Golden
Globe Award for Best Original Song for her performance of Bolt's theme
song, "I Thought I Lost You". She also reprised her role as Miley
Stewart/Hannah Montana in Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009). The Hannah
Montana: The Movie' soundtrack introduced her to new audiences within
country and adult contemporary markets.
She began to cultivate an adult image in 2009 with the release of The
Time of Our Lives (2009), an extended play which presented a more
mainstream pop sound, and by filming The Last Song (2010), a
coming-of-age drama film. The former included Cyrus's best-selling
single, "Party in the U.S.A." (2009). A studio album titled Can't Be
Tamed was released in 2010 and presents a new dance-pop sound. The music
video and lyrics of the album's lead single, "Can't Be Tamed", portrays
a more sexualized image for the entertainer. Cyrus ranked number
thirteen on Forbes' 2010 Celebrity 100 |
