Billy Ray Cyrus is an American country music singer-songwriter and actor who rose to fame with his 1992 hit single "Achy Breaky Heart," which became a crossover success and solidified his place in the music industry. Born on August 25, 1961, in Flatwoods, Kentucky, Cyrus pursued his passion for music and eventually signed a recording contract with Mercury Nashville Records. With his distinctive mullet hairstyle and blend of traditional and rock-influenced country music, Cyrus quickly became a household name and a symbol of the genre's 1990s popularity.

Aside from "Achy Breaky Heart," his debut album "Some Gave All" achieved multi-platinum status and launched his career to stardom. Throughout the years, Cyrus has maintained a steady presence in both music and television, most notably starring in the TV series "Doc" and co-starring with his daughter Miley Cyrus in Disney's "Hannah Montana," which introduced him to a younger generation of fans. In recent years, he has remained relevant in the ever-changing music landscape, collaborating with artists like Lil Nas X on the record-breaking hit "Old Town Road (Remix)," which showcased his ability to bridge the gap between genres and appeal to a wide audience. Continuously evolving as a musician, Cyrus's more recent works, including singles such as "Plans" and "Roll That Rock," as well as his involvement in the "Christmas in Paradise" soundtrack, display his enduring talent and adaptability in the music world.
