Billy Ray Cyrus signed with EMPIRE Publishing.
Billy Ray Cyrus is managed by Adkins Entertainment, released by BBR Music Group & booked by Action Entertainment Collaborative (AEC)/Paquin Artists Agency.
Billy Ray Cyrus, born on August 25, 1961, in Flatwoods, Kentucky, is a prominent American country singer, songwriter, and actor known for his infectious hit "Achy Breaky Heart," which revolutionized the country music scene in the early 1990s. The song not only topped the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart but also became a crossover success, inspiring a line dancing craze and earning triple platinum status in Australia.
Over his career, Cyrus has released 16 studio albums and achieved multiple chart-topping singles, including a significant resurgence with the remix of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," which broke records on the Billboard charts and won him two Grammy Awards. In addition to his music career, Cyrus has made notable appearances in television and film, including his role in the popular series Hannah Montana, which helped launch the career of his daughter, Miley Cyrus.
