If you think you know film, TV and pop music star Hilary Duff, think again. In 2003, Hilary’s debut album Metamorphosis, with the debut single So Yesterday, topped the pop charts in the U.S., and abroad. Hilary’s second album, Hilary Duff, debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. Her new album, Most Wanted, is a compilation of Hilary’s greatest hits, featuring new songs. With all that is been going on in Hilary’s life, it’s amazing she found the time to write and record songs for her new album. Hilary continues to perform as headliner to sellout arena audiences across the U.S. and Canada, and in South America, Australia and Japan.

“Music is so personal to me. I can be myself, and say what I want to say,” said Hilary. “I feel I’m honest and don’t try to hide things. Music enables people to learn about my personality, how I’m evolving. Even if I don’t feel comfortable talking about something, I can feel comfortable expressing that same thing through my music.”

Hilary’s 36-date Most Wanted tour in 2004, which featured her sister Haylie as an opening act, sold out in major markets around the U.S. Among the songs she performed live were “Weird,” “Haters,” “Do You Want Me,” “Rock This World” and “Fly.” Her DVD, The Girl Can Rock, was released last August on Buena Vista Entertainment. This year’s tour, titled Still Most Wanted, will play to sellout crowds across the U.S. Foreign dates are planned. Last fall, her New Line Cinema movie, Raise Your Voice, featured both “Fly” and “Someone’s Watching Over Me.” Hilary starred in last summer’s hit movie, A Cinderella Story, which grossed over $50 million in less than two weeks. The top 10 Hollywood Record soundtrack featured “Our Lips Are Sealed,” Hilary and sister Haylie’s cover of the Go-Go’s song. Hilary’s latest film, The Perfect Man, with Heather Locklear and Chris Noth, opened strong this summer. Hilary stars soon in Material Girls, co-starring Haylie, and reprises her starring role in Cheaper By The Dozen 2 shooting this summer. Hilary’s next film projects are being selected.

Hilary first excelled in the acclaimed record-breaking Disney television series Lizzie McGuire (#1 show in its timeslot) and the Lizzie McGuire feature film (which grossed $42.7 million with a $17 million budget, and debuted at #2), gaining international recognition from the series which continues in successful global syndication and Saturday mornings on ABC Kids. Hilary starred in the 2002 made-for-Disney television movie Cadet Kelly, the network’s highest-rated original film to date. Hilary set an audience record on ABC’s Good Morning America show in July when she performed before an estimated 7,000 people in Manhattan’s Bryant Park.

Even with her nonstop schedule, Hilary still makes sure to give back to those less fortunate. As a charter member of the Kids With a Cause organization, Hilary sponsored a “Food for a Friend” drive that collected canned foods brought to her show in each city to feed more than 22,000 youngsters at shelters around the country.

Her new single “Wake Up” is currently on local Singapore airwaves and is set to follow in the successful footsteps of her previous chart-topping hits!
