Miley Cyrus Design’s Charity T-Shirt for Brother Trace Cyrus

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 10th, 2011

Miley Cyrus’ brother Trace is starting a new clothing brand called  Southern Made Hollywood Paid collection. Because Miley loves her brother Trace, she is helping out to design a t-shirt for the brand.

Miley’s designed tee has the S.M.H.P. acronym and a peace sign/dream catcher design on it. No doubt Miley designed the shirt as she also has a dream catcher tattoo. The proceeds from the t-shirt go directly to the Miley Cyrus Foundation.

So why did Trace go into the fashion business? ”I have always had a love for fashion, and the opportunity presented itself to have a clothing company of my own and I really wanted the name of it to represent me,” he says.

Trace adds, “That is why I decided on Southern Made Hollywood Paid. I feel it tells a lot about my life, my story, and me. I love any way to express myself and that’s why I started SMHP.” The Trace and Miley’s collaboration tee is on sale now at S.M.H.P.’s online store for $28.

andPOP Interviews Trace Cyrus of Metro Station

Posted by Ilan Mester on December 21st, 2008


Metro Station keeps pulling into the right stops.

First, they released a self-titled album that earned them a legion of teen fans. Then, their single “Shake It” topped charts around the world. And last week, the band released the music video for their latest single, “Seventeen Forever.”

“We’re really happy how the video turned out,” Trace Cyrus, vocalist and guitarist for Metro Station, tells andPOP. “It’s our third video to shoot and it’s definitely the one we’re most excited about.”

Cyrus says the band watched the ’80s flick “The Lost Boys” nonstop during their past tour and that’s how they had the idea for the video’s carnival setting and cool ’80s vibe, but he also revealed the song itself has a lot more history for the band.

“It was the first song that we made as Metro Station and we kept getting together,” says Cyrus. Cyrus and Mason Musso, the two 19-year-old frontmen, were only 17 when they recorded the song.

“(Keyboardist Blake Healy) was just trying to think of a song that kids could relate to and something that could really connect well with kids and adults as well,” says Cyrus.

The video features cameos by Cyrus’s sister Miley Cyrus and Musso’s brother Mitchel Musso, the stars of Hannah Montana.

“We go down to the set and get to see our siblings all the time and you know, see our siblings do so many different things,” says Cyrus. “And to have our families come out and experience what we’re all about and what we’re doing is a great thing.”

But the band has a lot more going on besides their latest music video. They’ve been touring nonstop for the past 15 months.

“It’s just been like tour after tour after tour and you know, it’s a crazy lifestyle but it’s definitely something that I’ve grown to love.”

Metro Station have toured with Simple Plan, Good Charlotte and Panic! At the Disco, just to name a few, and they just got off their first headlining tour. “It went really really well, we really didn’t know what to expect,” Cyrus admits. “When a band’s going out and you’re the one that’s the main draw for all the kids to come out to the show, it’s a lot of stress and you really don’t know what to expect.”

But now they do, because their concerts have been sell outs almost every night. “We were just shocked by the outcome of how many kids came. It was amazing. It just shows the power of radio, like ‘Shake It’ and ‘Seventeen Forever’ have done for us.”

It’s hard to believe that just under two years ago, Metro Station were recording songs in bathrooms and in Healy’s apartment. Even when Red Ink, an imprint of Columbia Records, signed them, the band still kept most of their original recordings. “Ninety per cent of the album was actually made and recorded in Blake’s apartment,” says Cyrus.

Both Cyrus and Musso can probably thank their younger siblings for being introduced to each other, as the two met on the set of “Hannah Montana.” “We wrote a song together and after that, our siblings and our parents were always so busy on the set of ‘Hannah Montana’ that we just started hanging out all the time together, and any chance we got we would just write a new song.”

And although Cyrus admits there’s some rivalry between him and younger sister Miley, he describes it as “friendly.” The two collaborated on the song “Hovering,” which appeared on a special edition of Miley’s “Breakout” album.

But will Miley ever show up on a Metro Station album?

“You know what, if she worked on the next album it wouldn’t shock me at all,” says brother Trace. “I’d love to work with my sister. I never wanted to use her to get famous or anything and now that I’ve gained fame with ‘Shake It,’ I feel like I wanna show the world, ‘this is my sister and I love her.’ I just wanted to make a name for myself before that happened.”

When it comes to Metro Station’s success, Cyrus remains humble. He’s still shocked by how many people come to see the band during autograph signings.

“Doing stuff like that is one of the things that definitely really kind of trips me out in my mind.”

You can catch Metro Station on tour in North America until the end of December. After that, they head to the UK with Boys Like Girls, and then to Australia on a tour with The Veronicas.
