Trace Cyrus Wiki Bio

Trace Dempsey Cyrus was born as Neil Timothy Helson, in Ashland, Kentucky USA, on 24 February 1989 – his zodiac sign is Pisces and he holds American nationality. He’s a musician who’s probably known best for being the guitarist and the backing vocalist of the pop rock band Metro Station.

Childhood and education

Trace was raised in Ashland alongside his half-sisters Miley Ray Cyrus who’s a famous American singer-songwriter and actress, and Noah Cyrus who’s also a famous singer-songwriter. Baxter Neal Helson is Trace’s biological father, while his mother is the American actress and film producer Leticia Jean ‘Tish’ Cyrus. After Leticia married her second husband Billy Ray Cyrus, an American singer-songwriter, he adopted Trace which is also when Trace changed his name to what it is today.

He spent part of his time in Thompson’s Station in Tennessee as his parents lived there, and he then began touring and singing with Billy Ray. Trace attended La Canada High School, but dropped out in 2006 and moved to Burbank in California, where he worked at a shopping mall.

His band Metro Station

In 2005, Trace and the American singer-songwriter Mason Tyler Musso met as their siblings starred together in the teen comedy series “Hannah Montana”, and they decided to create a band. The two welcomed Blake Healy as their bassist and keyboardist, and Anthony Improgo as their drummer. They started off by uploading music onto their MySpace channel, and then found themselves topping the MySpace Music Unsigned Band Chart.

After gaining recognition, they signed their first contract with Columbia Records, and in July 2007, the magazine “Alternative Press” named them amongst ’22 Best Underground Bands (That Likely Won’t Stay Underground for Long)’.

In September 2007, their debut album came out entitled “Metro Station”, but failed to attract a lot of attention, however, their single “Shake It” which was released in March 2008, managed to peak at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, as well as amongst the top 10 songs on Australian, Canadian and German charts. The single then helped make the band’s debut album become popular, as it topped the Top Electronic Albums by the end of 2008.

In March 2010, Trace and Mason left the band as they wanted to pursue solo careers, and Metro Station was thus put on a hiatus, however, Mason returned to it, and on 31 May 2011, their new single “Ain’t So High” was released.

Trace rejoined the band on 13 August 2014, and they then released the single “Love & War”. On 14 October 2014, their extended play (EP) was released entitled “Gold”. On 30 June 2015, they released their second studio album, “Savior” comprising 18 songs, and the boys spent the following two years touring with various artists and bands, including Never Shout Never and Waterparks.

In 2017, Metro Station broke up again, but reunited in 2019, while their most recent single “I Hate Society” was released in 2020.
