Billy Cyrus Biography

Billy Ray Cyrus (born August 25, 1961) is an American country singer-songwriter and actor, best known for his hit single "Achy Breaky Heart". A multi-platinum selling recording artist, he has one number one country single and seven top-ten singles. From 2001 to 2004, he starred in the television series Doc, a show about a rural doctor adjusting from his move from a ranch to a large city. As of 2006, he is co-starring in the Disney Channel original television series, Hannah Montana, which stars his daughter Miley Cyrus.

In Cyrus` career, he has released 23 charting singles, 12 of which reached the top 40 and one reached the top of Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. After a four year hiatus from the charts, Cyrus returned with his current single, a duet with his daughter Miley, "Ready, Set, Don`t Go", which has so far reached the Top 10 of the Billboard country charts.


From 1986 until 1991, Cyrus was married to the former Cindy Smith, with whom he co-wrote the song Wher`m I Gonna Live?, which was featured on his 1992 album Some Gave All. He is presently married to the former Leticia "Tish" Finley, whom he married on December 28, 1992. Together they have three children, daughters Destiny Hope (who is also known as Miley), Noah Lindsey, and son Braison Chance. He also has two stepchildren, Trace (singer/guitarist for Metro Station) and Brandi, and a son from a previous relationship, Christopher Cody.

In a 2004 interview on ABC News: `Primetime`, Cyrus stated that daughter Miley (conceived with Finley) and son Cody (conceived with an unidentified woman) were both born in 1992, at which time Cyrus was unmarried, and that he and Finley secretly married on December 28 of 1992.

The family lived on a 500-acre farm in Thompson`s Station,[6][5] outside of Nashville, Tennessee before moving to Los Angeles for the filming of Hannah Montana.

If any1 out there knows if the TV show, "DOC" starring B.Ray Cyrus,that went off the air, i think in 2003 or 4, is stil onTV in reruns? Can You please give a shout-out.That show needs to be back on TV, i believe. .id appreciate any info. Thanks! Wanted to add that B.R.C. had a son 1st w a previous relationship b4 he got w Tish. She had2 kids b4they got 2gether, then they had 3,, 2 girls & a boy the youngest a girl, Noah. She is so cute. She`s on Hanna Montana once in a while. Miley better watch out. Shes a scene stealer! Just kiddin, Miley. U R lucky2 have a TV Show w family. Where did the name Miley come from? I know Ur 1st & middle name but cant think of it riight now. I saw Ur dad introduce U when U was very young . He even said Ur real name but then latercalledU Miles not Miley. May be wrong bout the Miles part.. Thought thru the yrs. Ur nic name may of changed. If Miley is 1. i was taught to be proud to have an unique name. Its good to be different these days.

B.R.Cyrus did a great job 9.23 on the History Ch., Hillbilly:The Real Story. It was a documenery of300 yrs. I felt i knew ofall there was about my history. I was born in Pa. and w/in wks .we moved to Kentucky. Mom always said we were Pennsyltuckian. But,this show taught this proud redneck some interesting things about where i was born & raised. Id refer this show to any1, even people who are not hillbillys. i believe U may find U have relatives who came to this Country from others, as so many of us have to set up settlements in the Hills,forsome reason. Im just saying that U may be surprised of how much "The Hillbillys" had to do w the start of Our Great Nation. B.R.C. has never tried to hide Who he is. Id heard that when he was starting out w his music career that he would go to play at the Honkey Tonks in & anound my ol` stomping grounds in Parkersburg W.Va. & S. Ohio. I think it was at 1of these spots that the video for "Achy Breaky"was made.That was cool to give backto his1st,b4 he was famous,fans!

BRCyrus, i was sorry to hear that Miley felt she needed to apoligize about a misunderstandiing when some1 thought she was speaking of her true mom passing away when she was discussing her TV mom, Brooke Shields. Mistakes happen when a persnn does as many interviews as she does. Then i heard a rep6rt by a guy who said iow surprised he was that Miley turned out so pretty. He said he couldnt find a pic of Tish-thats her moms nic name. She`s on BRC new CD@ the beginning w B.R. & Miley. Plus she was on DWTS shown supporting her husband. She`s a lovely lady. Then the guy started w how BRC has aged. If we all could be so lucky as to age so well,but he works at keeping himself in shape too. Thats easy to see. i think any1 w a brain knows why Miley is pretty INSIDE+ OUT.i knowBRCis a man w a kind heart who truely cares bout others. i dont know much bout Tish but it makes sense that shes a good person too. Shes not much for the public.Cant blame her! As i said, Miley is pretty,but looks arent everything. LuvBRCnewCD!

Billy RayC., i saw whereMiley apoligized about a mistake that was said about her mother. Some1 took her to mean that her real mom had died but she was speaking of her TV mom-Brooke Sheilds- on Hannah Montana. Before some1 misunderstands, B.Shields did not die either in real life. I felt so sorry for Miley having to talk about such a thing. Any1 who has seen `H.M.`should know that she`s your TV wife & has been on 1episode where U made Miley some of your famous hot chocolate & it made her dream about her.One more thing i have to say is that the person who wrote the interview about how lucky Miley is to of turned out w her pretty looks. He said he couldnt find a pic of her mom-she`s on BRC new video@ the beginning. There is a pic of BRC &Tish w Miley as a baby. Tish is her nic-name. But,this guy who wondered how Miley got her looks must be blind. Tish was shown onTVs `DWTS`,supporting BRC. & she is a lovely lady, then he started on BRC aging, i thinkVeryWell, BRC! Mileys pretty INSIDE+Out CUZof her parents!

BillyRC is a good family man. It shows by the way he conducts himself. He IS a True Southern Gentleman. And for U that say he is a "1 hit wonder", U are allowed your opinion. But his song ,"Achey Breaky Heart " is what got his name famous, and i loved it. But in my opinion he has had many great tunes after his record breaking # 1 hit. "Some gave All" is one of my favorite songs by ANY artist. Plus, his latest CD shows he`s got many sides to his music, but 1 thing that stays the same w B.R.C. is the emotion he puts into his music.& his acting. "Doc" was 1 of the few TV Shows that i never had to worry that our whole family could watch. I hope Miley does find some1 like her dad when she is old enuff to date. She said she wanted some1 like her dad on the TV show, E.T. Good luck! Luv your work Billy Ray!

BRC, the song i never tire of hearing is: "Some gave All". Plus those who say You are a 1hit wonder-w Achy Breaky- must be from another planet. Not only did U have many hits, but U did it again w Your latest. Great CD! i cant finish this w/out saying i Loved "Doc"! U R a great musician & actor. Wish they would show Doc on reruns. I always felt better after watching it. We need more shows on TV as Doc. It is great that U R a family man & it shows that U R a Christian man. Good luck w All U do. PS. Loved U on DWTS. U may not of been the best but it took guts to do, & i voted cuz u showed that u gave it your all. I give U & Karina an 8 gladly-Good job! Love ya
