Childhood and youth

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell was born on the 18th of December 2001 in Los Angeles. Her parents – actress, musician and screenwriter Maggie Baird and American actor Patrick O'Connell (The West Wing, Supergirl)

Billie's parents' home is located in Highland Park. Highland Park has just become popular, but when I was growing up, it was completely different, – says Billie. I grew up in Highland Park when it was very sketchy and there were lots of gunshots. It was fine, it wasn’t horrible and miserable, and I wasn’t scared for my life.

Billie spent her young years being educated at home – and she is still grateful to her parents for this decision. The young woman believes that no one would have treated her seriously at a regular school, and this would have severely bothered her. At home, nothing distracted Eilish from learning and her favorite hobby in the world – music.

Since the age of 8, Eilish sang in a child choir, and at the age of 11 she started to compose and perform her own songs – much like her older brother Finneas O'Connell (born in1997), who at the time already had his own band called The Slightly.

Eilish was inspired by a variety of genres – she enjoyed the music by American rap-performer TierraWhack, indie-band The Strokes, and the British rockers the Arctic Monkeys. Among Billie’s favorites are the legendary Beatles and Avril Lavigne.

Among her other hobbies, Billie also enjoys dancing. However, in January 2016 the girl hot an injury that would forever prevent her from starting a dancing career.

Musical Career

In October 2015 Billie's brother Finneas wrote a ballad entitled Ocean Eyes. I loved it and I couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks, – remembers Eilish. Once a teacher at her dance company called Billie up and asked the girl to record a song to choreograph a dance. Eilish decided to go for Ocean Eyes. The composition sent everyone into raptures, and Billie and her brother decided to upload it onto SoundCloud.

Interestingly, before that Billie and her brother had already uploaded two of their songs online. However, it was the Ocean Eyes that was destined to conquer the hearts of the listeners.
We were sitting in a Starbucks, and Finneas said: Dude! Our song got 1,000 plays. We made it. We were like, that’s it. We’ve reached our goal. …And then it just kept going. , – says the girl.
Gradually, the song became viral, and more and more people were learning about it. Soon Ocean Eyes featured in the drama Everything, Everything (2016), and the TV-show Running Man (Season 1, Episode 9), which became a total breakthrough for the young prodigy. Two other tracks of hers, Fingers Crossed and Six Feet Under, became soundtracks to several episodes of Pretty Little Liars (Season 7).

Riding the wave of Ocean Eyes and its remixes' success, Eilish released her new singled Bellyache on the 24th of February 2017, which she presented at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Then they filmed a vivid music video to accompany the song: the production was handled by Miles and AJ, famous for their partnerships with Yoshi Flower, Jaden Smith, Max Frost, and others.

The mini-album went golden, with one of her tracks getting the platinum – with over a million streams. Her track My Boy from this album was used in Season 3 of the TV-show Shadowhunters with Katherine McNamara, and Dominic Sherwood.
