Cyrus was born in Flatwoods, Kentucky. Ron Cyrus, Billy Ray's father, was a Kentucky State Legislator and part of a southern gospel quartet. Cyrus' mother and grandparents were also musicians and the family participated regularly in jam sessions. After leaving college, he started a band that did not work out. He moved to Los Angeles to become an actor, and when that did not work he moved to West Virginia. On his days off he would drive to Nashville to break into the industry. In 1990, signed on with a recording company and released his debut album, Some Gave All. The album hit No. 1 on the Billboard album charts, where it stayed for 17 consecutive weeks. The executive producer that signed and befriended Billy Ray Cyrus was West Georgia's own, Harold Shedd.
Throughout the early 90s, a string of hits came from that album including, Achy Breaky Heart, Could've Been Me, Where'm Gonna Live When I Get Home, She's Not Cryin and the title track Some Gave All. In 2001 Cyrus started acting with his first role in Mulholland Drive. He soon was in a lead role in the television series Doc, and eventually stared as his daughter's farther and manager in the Disney series Hannah Montana. While acting was something he sought after for, his commitment was to singing and songwriting. He wrote the smash song in 2006 Ready, Set, Don't Go dedicated to Miley's move to California and in that same year in between acting roles he released his next album, Wanna Be Your Joe which rose high on the charts. His most recent album release, Thin Line came out in 2016.
