Meet Noah Cyrus ahead of her appearance on American Idol season 21
Set to appear on the ABC singing competition as a celebrity mentor is Noah Cyrus, younger sister of American popstar Miley Cyrus and daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus.
The American Idol season 21 mentor was born on January 8, 2000, in Nashville Tennessee, and is Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus’s fifth child. Much like her popular elder sister, Noah stepped into the entertainment route early in her life and has appeared on screens since she was only 2 years old.
She appeared in small roles in Hannah Montana and was even a background dancer in Hannah Montana: The Movie. However, she gained recognition after voicing the titular character of 2008's Ponyo. She also worked on the theme song for the movie alongside Frankie Jonas, the youngest of the Jonas brothers.
In 2016, the artist signed a record deal with Barry Weiss’ label, Records, and then signed with Maverick under Adam Leber. The same year, she released her debut single, Make me Cry, and released an acoustic performance of Almost Famous.
The upcoming American Idol season 21 celebrity mentor was included in Time’s 30 Most Influential Teens in 2007. At the time, Noah opened for Katy Perry for Witness: The Tour in November and made an appearance as a surprise DJ at Emo Nite. That same year, she gave vocals for Chasing Colors by Marshmellow and Ookay followed by her own songs, Stay Together, I’m Stuck, and Again.
