Miley Ray Cyrus is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Regarded as a pop icon, Cyrus has been recognized for her evolving artistry and image reinventions. She is a daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and deemed one of the few examples of a child star with a successful musical career as an adult. Cyrus emerged as a teen idol as the title character in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, which evolved into a commercially successful franchise. As Hannah Montana, she achieved success on the Billboard charts with two number-one soundtracks.
Cyrus's solo career started with the US number-one pop rock albums Meet Miley Cyrus and Breakout. Her follow-up EP The Time of Our Lives reached number two in the US. Its lead single "Party in the U.S.A." became one of the best-selling singles of all time in the country and was later certified 14-times platinum. Trying to establish a mature image, she explored dance-pop in Can't Be Tamed, which received mixed reviews. Cyrus later signed to RCA Records and took a new artistic direction with the hip hop and R&B-influenced Bangerz.
