Billy Ray Cyrus is an American country music singer, songwriter, and actor, best known for his #1 single "Achy Breaky Heart," which became the first single ever to achieve triple Platinum status in Australia. His music style is a blend of country and pop, often incorporating elements of rock and folk. Cyrus's distinctive vocals and catchy tunes helped popularize line dancing in the 90s. Despite facing criticism for his crossover success, his influence has helped shape modern country music, while his acting roles, notably in the television show "Hannah Montana," have extended his impact beyond the music industry.
