EXCLUSIVE: Buchwald has signed Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose Cyrus for worldwide representation in all areas.
A country star and actor nearly three decades into his career, Billy Ray Cyrus is perhaps best known for starring opposite his daughter, Miley Cyrus, on Disney Channel’s smash hit teen series Hannah Montana, which spurred the release of narrative and concert films and launched Miley into the stratosphere, as a musical artist. Billy Ray also created and starred in the CMT comedy series Still the King, which ran for two seasons, appearing prior to that on the show Doc. In addition to Hannah Montana: The Movie, film credits include Mulholland Drive, Christmas Comes Home to Canaan, and The Spy Next Door, to name just a few.
Billy Ray exploded onto the music scene when his first album, Some Gave All, debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard album chart and stayed there for a record-breaking 17 weeks in 1992. After seeing his lead single “Achy Breaky Heart” go multi-platinum — becoming the first song ever to achieve triple platinum status in Australia — he went on to release back-to-back hits including “It Could’ve Been Me,” “She’s Not Crying Anymore,” “Wher’m I Gonna Live When I Get Home?” and “Some Gave All.”
On the heels of Ray’s second No. 1 album, It Won’t Be the Last, featuring the tunes “In the Heart of a Woman,” “Words By Heart” and “Somebody New,” his success continued dozens more singles that redefined country music. More recently, he broke records alongside Lil Nas X with the worldwide smash “Old Town Road (Remix ft. Billy Ray Cyrus),” which came in as the highest certified song in the history of the Recording Industry Association of America, when it went 14x platinum in the U.S.
In addition to a pair of Grammys, Billy Ray’s accolades include Billboard Music Awards, BET Hip Hop Awards, MTV VMA Moonmen, Country Music Association Awards, American Music Awards and Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Juno Awards, among others.
An Australian-born singer, songwriter and actress, Firerose duets with husband Billy Ray on their new single, “Plans,” which climbed to No. 16 on both Mediabase’s Adult Contemporary Chart and Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Chart. She has performed on national television programs like LIVE with Kelly and Ryan and Good Morning America, and has been featured in People Magazine, American Songwriter, Taste of Country, and Us Weekly, as well as on CNN, iHeartRadio, The Today Show Australia, and other platforms.
Billy Ray and Firerose continue to be managed by Scott Adkins. The pair are also with Nick Meinema’s Action Entertainment Collaborative for live music bookings.
