early life
Billie Eilish was born on December 18, 2001 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She comes from a family of music and performance.
She grew up with her brother, and her parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell, are well-known leaders in the American entertainment industry.
Growing up, she saw her older brother Finneas develop a keen interest in music. Her father played instruments such as piano and ukulele, and her mother composed music. Influenced by the musical atmosphere at home, little Billie decided to pursue a career in music.
Billie Eilish grew up listening to songs by Avril Lavigne and The Beatles. Her father likes to collect mixtapes of different musicians. Although she was homeschooled for most of her early years, she participated in extracurricular activities. She loves to sing, dance, and make movies at home whenever she gets the chance.
Billie Eilish joined the choir at the age of eight and sang there for three years. At the age of 11, she began to compose music. She recorded the music with a video camera and edited it with Apple’s video editing program “iMovie”.
In addition to acting and singing, she also loves dancing. In early adolescence, she took dance classes. She has a wide range of abilities and hopes to succeed in acting.
Her brother, who was in the band, invited her to record a song he had written using her voice, “Ocean Eyes.” The unintentional track ended up being Billie Eilish’s breakthrough hit and helped propel her career to new heights.
Profession
In November 2015, Billie Eilish recorded the single “Ocean Eyes”. Initially, the song was prepared for her dance class. She gave the music to her dance teacher and asked her to incorporate it into her upcoming dance.
The siblings decided to release the song on the music sharing website SoundCloud because it was indeed a good song. In November 2015, the song was assigned to SoundCloud and in March 2016, the music video was released. Later, another commercial release was made.
The song became a huge hit in a short time, with over 10 million views. This unexpected success paved the way for countless other versions. It ended up being another triumph.
Some well-known record companies decided to buy the rights to the song. Darkroom and Interscope Records jointly released the song worldwide. The song quickly became a critical and box office success. Another single by Billie Eilish, “Six Feet Under”, was released at the end of the year.
Billie Eilish responded to the success of her breakthrough single “Ocean Eyes” by producing four remixes and included them on her EP of the same name. Her brother produced and co-wrote the song “Bellyache”, which she released in February 2017. In March 2017, the music video for the song, directed by Miles & AJ, was released.
The following year, Billie Eilish released a song titled “Bored” for the official 13 Reasons Why soundtrack. She followed that up with singles “Watch” and “Copycat.” Billie Eilish’s much-anticipated debut EP, Don’t Smile at Me, was released in July 2017.
Before the EP was officially released, Billie Eilish released two singles: My Boy and I Don’t Wanna Be You Anymore. She uploaded more tracks every Friday before the EP debuted. Finally, the EP was released on August 11, 2017.
That same year, she teamed up with Vince Staples to remix the song “Watch” and titled it “&Burn.” She embarked on two tours to further promote herself: the Don’t Smile at Me Tour in October 2017 and the Where’s My Mind Tour from February to April 2018.
Eilish also collaborated with popular American musician Khalid on a song titled “Lovely”, which was released in mid-2018. The song’s immense popularity prompted the creators of 13 Reasons Why to purchase the rights to the song and include it in the second season of the show.
Billie Eilish released the tracks “Bitches Broken Hearts” and “You Should See Me In a Crown” in 2018.
When the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart, she became the first millennial to accomplish the feat in the US, and the youngest woman ever to have a No. 1 album in the UK.
In September 2019, she led the “Where Do We Go?” World Tour, which was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In January 2020, she sang the theme song for the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, which was written and produced by her brother.
