She has two siblings — a younger brother, Braison, and a younger sister, Noah — and three half-siblings. Despite several publicized separations and reconciliations, her parents' marriage experienced periods of instability. While in Toronto, Miley enrolled in acting and singing classes at the Armstrong Acting Studio, where she began developing her talents at a young age.

Career Beginnings and Breakthrough with Hannah Montana

Miley’s first acting role came in 2001 when she appeared alongside her father in the television series Doc. She later had a small part in Tim Burton’s film Big Fish (2003). Her career breakthrough came at age 11 when she was cast as Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. The show, which premiered in 2006, featured a teenager living a double life as an ordinary schoolgirl and a famous pop star. It became a significant success, propelling Miley to teen stardom.

To support her acting career, Miley's family moved to Los Angeles, California. The first Hannah Montana soundtrack album, released by Walt Disney Records in 2006, solidified her popularity as both an actress and singer.

Following the success of Hannah Montana, Miley released her debut studio album, Breakout, in 2008. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and showcased her transition from a TV star to a recording artist. In 2009, she starred in Hannah Montana: The Movie, which featured her music and received commercial success.

Her 2010 album Can’t Be Tamed marked a notable shift toward a more mature sound and public persona.
