Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell is an American singer and songwriter.
California-bred singer/songwriter Billie Eilish crafts genre-blurring outcast anthems that bridge the gap between ethereal indie electronic and dark alternative pop. With angsty, introspective lyrics that don't shy away from issues of mental health, she endeared herself to a devoted audience during her breakthrough years in the late 2010s when she was still just a teenager. On the heels of a sold-out headlining tour, she issued her debut album, 2019's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?.
Biography[]
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish grew up in a household of actors and musicians and was home schooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell (the Slightlys). At the age of eight, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir, developing the soulful vocals that would later appear on her early singles. After the release of the pop-leaning "Six Feet Under" and "Fingers Crossed," Eilish made her breakthrough with "Ocean Eyes," produced and co-written with her brother Finneas and released by Interscope. It surpassed 14 million online streams and spawned a number of remixes with Astronomyy, Blackbear, and Goldhouse. Eilish followed up in February 2017 with "Bellyache," then landed another track, "Bored," on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. An EP, don't smile at me, featuring the singles "Copycat" and "watch," followed later that summer.
In 2018, Eilish contributed a track to the second season of 13 Reasons Why, collaborating with Khalid on the hit single "lovely", which charted globally. Later that year she issued a pair of singles, "you should see me in a crown" and "when the party's over", which both landed on her full-length debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Issued in March 2019, the album showcased her hybrid blend of pop, electronic, and hip-hop textures with a rock edge.
