"You've got to keep in mind that my son Trace (20) is in Metro Station, which has a hit album all around the world," Billy Ray explains to The Boot. "He's in Switzerland today as we speak, and got all the way in the last month from Japan to the Philippines across Canada. Metro Station are huge worldwide. Trace is living his dream."
And there very well may be two more members of the Cyrus clan coming soon to a radio station near you.
"Brandi (22), my daughter, has a band called Frank and Derol that's about to get signed to a record deal," Billy Ray proudly reports. "My son Braison (15), he's in a band called Lazy Randy, and he loves rock 'n' roll. He's pretty much obsessed with Nirvana and Kirt Cobain."
But it's Billy Ray and Tish's youngest who seems to be following in her 'Hannah Montana' sister's footsteps.
"My little girl Noah (9) just came back from Los Angeles where her new animation premiered," says Billy Ray of his third daughter. "She's doing the lead voiceover, along with Matt Damon, with this new Disney animation coming out in August called 'Ponyo.' Noah is the voice of Ponyo. It's a pretty special story. Noah was born into my first [TV] series, 'Doc,' so she's been acting her whole life."
Billy Ray insists he has let his kids follow their hearts when it comes to their careers, without any pressure -- or objection -- from him.
"They are all in the business. I wish I could say that Miley is the only one, but all my kids are artistic and love doing artistic things. I just tell all my kids to do what they love and to pursue their dreams – whatever that is. I wish they would all just enjoy sitting down on the farm and riding horses all day. That sounds pretty good to me. That's not their thing right now. Unfortunately, they're too much like their daddy. They love the art of making music. They love acting. That's pretty much the way I've always been so I can't really blame them for that!"

this is how good marketing makes stars of very average talent. Or maybe, there isn't any real talent and everyone is just average!

What a FREAK SHOW this FAMILY is. omg! "Miley" is nothing but an average, white trash....****.
Billy Ray had a couple of hits, and is now a HAS BEEN. His wife is the epitomy of bleach blonde total white trash.
The recent Disney show where MILEY uses the U.S. National Anthem and INTENTIONALLY SCREWS it up on TV to boost her ratings, blew me away.
The trash girl's posters have been removed from my daughter's walls, and all CD's have gone in the garbage. I will not support this phoney, screwed up family.
The new American White Trash Family...

What a cruel woman you are to do that to your daughter. She probably cried her eyes out! Shame on you!

At least this "white trash" family isn't living off the rest of us. BTW, don't be surprised if on your daughter's 18th birthday she bolts out the door without so much of a goodbye. Manipulating mom's are never appreciated when a child gets older.

You are pathetic calling someone of their caliber white trash. You must be really messed up to treat your daughter and her things like that. Miley and her entire family are upper class all the way and people like you are just jealous!

oh u are trash
West Boyz Momat 7-04-2009
I agree you must be the white trash yourself, because as for Miley & her family we love them all. I also agree at least there not living off the state or hand outs. Little girls love Miley, I know my grand daughter loves her too. Lindian

i kinda think you are white trash. haha. they seem like a good family. Just because you dont have extra money to fiddle with you have to go talk trash about another family. Look at yourself before looking at other people.

Say what you will about Billy Ray but he's about as down to earth as they get. Married to the same woman, and his kids all seem pretty grounded as well. If his celeb status helps them get ahead so be it...it isn't anything any one of you wouldn't do for YOUR kids if you were able to.
They don't live the life of diva celebs, they quietly go about their business doing what they love and not causing any problems.
I say more power to them all!

his kids seem grounded to you?
just Google mileys name and a plethora
of self photographed amateur porn comes up!!!
'grounded' or without limits?
melissaat 7-04-2009
I agree with you. They have worked hard to get where they are and good for them, and it is great that Billy encourages his kids to go after their dreams and good parent would do that. They are far from white trash, and the people who are saying it obviously have no respect for the way that other people live their lives. My daughter loves Miley and I believe that Miley is a wonderful role model for young girls.

Billy Ray certainly isn't the monogamous saint you think. The bleach blonde whore is his second wife. They may not be white trash, but they sure aren't perfect, not that anyone can be, but suggestive photos of a teenager that is supposed to be a role model for young girls? They could make better choices.
