Trace Dempsey Cyrus (born February 24, 1989) is an American musician who is a
guitarist, songwriter and vocalist in the pop band Metro Station. He is the
owner of a clothing company called From Backseats to Bedrooms. Cyrus is also the
older (adopted by Billy Ray Cyrus) brother of actress and singer Miley Cyrus and
is the son of singer Billy Ray Cyrus.
Personal life
Cyrus is the half-brother of Miley Cyrus, the star of the Disney Channel
original television series Hannah Montana, as they share the same mother,
Leticia "Tish" Finley Cyrus. His biological father is Baxter Neal Helson, but he
was adopted by Billy Ray Cyrus, spending the summers of his youth on tour with
Billy Ray. In an interview with MTV, he discussed recording with Miley,
"Actually, I'm going to sing on one of the tracks on her next album. I can't say
much about it right now, but we will be collaborating." Cyrus has many tattoos
on his arms and chest. Additionally he has the words "STAY GOLD" tattooed on his
knuckles. He has "angel bites", along with other piercings. Cyrus once worked at
a shopping mall in Burbank, California before dropping out of high school at La
Cañada High School.
Main article: Metro Station (band)
Cyrus is a guitarist and vocalist in the synth-pop band, Metro Station. He
started the band with Mason Musso in early 2006 when their mothers set them up
to do a jam together, since Musso's brother Mitchel is a Hannah Montana cast
member. Columbia Records signed the band after an intern at the record label saw
their MySpace page. He appeared with Musso on MTV's Total Request Live on June
9, 2008. Their band along with The Maine were the two special guest acts on the
Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour, co-headlined by Boys Like Girls and Good
Charlotte, this past summer. In September 2008, Cyrus made an appearance in the
music video for Billy Ray's single, "Somebody Said a Prayer".
Trace also has clothing line
called "From Backseats to Bedrooms"

Billy Ray Cyrus Biography

Cyrus joins NBC this summer as host of “Nashville Star.” Spanning the last 15
years, Cyrus has had a phenomenal career not only in the music world but in film
and television, as well.
Last summer, Cyrus released his tenth album, Home At Last, on Walt Disney
Records. The first single from the album, "Ready, Set, Don't Go," is a heartfelt
ballad he wrote for his daughter Miley as she prepared to leave for Los Angeles
from Tennessee to start production on "Hannah Montana.” The duet (featuring
Miley Cyrus) and album both topped the Country charts.
Billy Ray recently recorded the Sheryl Crow-penned track “Real Gone” for the
forthcoming Country Sings Disney CD, slated for release in July. The song will
also be included on his next studio album which is currently being recorded in
Nashville and produced by Grammy-winning producer Mark Bright (Rascal Flatts,
Carrie Underwood). Cyrus’ eleventh album, Back to Tennessee is set for release
on October 21.
The multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s musical roots go back to his childhood in
Kentucky when the young Cyrus was singing with his father's gospel quartet
before he started grade school. Discovered in 1990 while opening for Reba
McEntire, Cyrus holds the record by a debut artist for his album "Some Gave All"
which was #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Album chart for 17 weeks. His album Some
Gave All certified multi-platinum, selling 14 million copies worldwide, while
his other albums, It Won't Be the Last and Storm in the Heart certified platinum
and gold respectively. He won Favorite New Artist – Country and Favorite Single
– Country for "Achy Breaky Heart" at the American Music Awards. His hit single
"Achy Breaky Heart" also earned him Single of the Year by the Country Music
Association and the BMI Robert J. Burton Award in 1993.
Cyrus currently stars as Robby Stewart, father and "personal and professional"
manager to his 15-year-old daughter, played by real-life daughter Miley, who has
a secret identity as a pop star in the Emmy-nominated Disney Channel series,
"Hannah Montana." Billy Ray and Miley are currently filming “The Hannah Montana
Movie” for Walt Disney Pictures in Tennessee, which is slated for release next
summer. Once production wraps on the feature film, father and daughter will
return to Los Angeles to shoot the third season of the hit TV series.
In 2007, Cyrus gained an even larger fan base with his good-natured and
entertaining performance on ABC’s "Dancing with the Stars," making it to the
eighth week of competition as one of the final five. Most recently, Cyrus hosted
the CMT Music Awards with Miley and starred in his own CMT reality series “Home
at Last.” He has also completed production on two films which will be released
later this year: "Bait Shop" with Bill Engvall and "Flyin' By" with Heather
Locklear.
Cyrus starred in the PAX series "Doc" for which he also composed the theme song.
That series is now seen in over 50 countries. His film credits include "Elvis
Has Left the Building," "Mulholland Drive," "Radical Jack" and "Wish You Were
Dead." On the stage, he starred as Frank Butler in the stage production of
"Annie Get Your Gun" in Toronto.
Cyrus resides on his 500-acre farm near Nashville when not working in Los
Angeles.
Award winning country music singer, songwriter, actor, and former Oldsmobile
salesman. Played in the band "Sly Dog".
