Born in Franklin, Tennessee,[1] a suburb of Nashville, Miley Cyrus attended Heritage Middle School[2] but she now has a private tutor.[3] She grew up on her parents' farm in the backwoods of Nashville.[4] Cyrus is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Leticia "Tish" Cyrus,[1] and the granddaughter of the late Ron Cyrus and Ruth Ann Cyrus. She has two older half-brothers, Christopher Cody and Trace, who sings and plays guitar in Metro Station, an electronic rock band in California,[5] an older half-sister, Brandi, a younger brother, Braison, and a younger sister, Noah Lindsey Cyrus, who is also an actress.[6] She was named Destiny Hope because her parents thought that she would accomplish great things.[1] Cyrus gained her nickname "Miley" because she kept smiling ("Smiley") as a youngster.[1] In an interview with USA Today, Cyrus was quoted as saying her faith is "the main thing" and is why she works in Hollywood.[7] When interviewed by Parade, she added that she attends church regularly with her family.[8] She also has many pets, including horses, dogs, cats, fish and chickens.[9] Cyrus is the goddaughter of country music star, Dolly Parton.[citation needed]
