![]() A second Hannah Montana record, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, was released in summer 2007. ![]() A reissue of the Hannah Montana album followed in March 2007, not long after the show’s theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds,” was released as a single. That fall, Miley hit the road as the opening act for another Disney-spawned pop act, the Cheetah Girls. After debuting in March 2006, Hannah Montana became an immediate success with young viewers and led to the release of a soundtrack CD in October, featuring Miley singing eight songs from the show along with five related tracks (including a duet with her father, Billy Ray, on “I Learned from You”). ![]() Miley’s friends don’t know she’s also Hannah, however, and keeping this a secret is no simple matter. Miley was cast in the title role of Hannah Montana, in which she played a teenage girl leading a double life: by day, she’s Miley Stewart, an ordinary kid dealing with school, friends, siblings, and all the other foibles of life for a 14-year-old, while at night she dons a wig and becomes Hannah Montana, a multi-platinum pop star whose career is guided by her dad, songwriter Robby Stewart. The budding actress had also developed an interest in writing songs and learning how to sing, and in 2005, she landed a role that allowed her to put her skills in acting and music to work. The same year, she landed a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. Miley’s career as a professional actress began in 2003, when she appeared alongside her father in an episode of the television series Doc. Destiny’s cheerful disposition as a child earned her the nickname Smiley, which stuck when it was shortened to Miley. The success of “Achy Breaky Heart” was hardly the only memorable event for Billy Ray that year, though, as he and his wife welcomed their daughter Destiny Hope Cyrus into the world on November 23, 1992. Overnight popularity wasn’t a new thing for the Cyrus family Miley’s father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, went from obscurity to stardom in a few short months in 1992, when “Achy Breaky Heart” became a crossover hit. Miley Cyrus became an overnight sensation in 2006 as the star of Hannah Montana, a popular Disney Channel television series whose success allowed Cyrus to launch her own recording career several years later.
