She has two older half-brothers, Christopher Cody and Trace, an older half-sister, Brandi, a younger brother, Braison, and a younger sister, Noah Lindsey, who is also an actress. She was named Destiny Hope but, Miley gained her nickname "Miley" because she kept smiling ("Smiley") as a youngster.

She was also featured in Rhonda Vincent's music video for "If Heartaches Have Wings", and appeared on Colgate Country Showdown with her father (who was hosting the television program).

Miley was only eleven years old when she originally auditioned for Disney for the part of the "best friend"; Disney Channel executives then judged her to be "too small." Miley was chosen for Hannah Montana because of her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who "loves every minute of life," with the "everyday relatability of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain."
