Bio
Country superstar Billy Ray 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.
