Childhood and youth

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell was born on December 18, 2001 in Los Angeles. Her parents are 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 was homeschooled during her younger years – and she's still grateful to her parents for this decision. She believes that no one would have taken her seriously at a regular school, and this would have really bothered her. At home, nothing distracted Eilish from learning and her favorite thing in the world – music.

From age 8, Eilish sang in a children's choir, and at 11 she started composing and performing her own songs – much like her older brother Finneas O'Connell (born in 1997), who already had his own band called The Slightlys at the time.

Eilish drew inspiration from a variety of genres – she loved the music of American rapper TierraWhack, indie band The Strokes, and British rockers 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 she got an injury that would forever prevent her from pursuing a dancing career.

Musical Career

According to Zoomboola.com, in October 2015 Billie's brother Finneas wrote a ballad called Ocean Eyes. "I loved it and I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks," remembers Eilish. When a teacher at her dance company called Billie and asked her to record a song for choreographing a dance, Eilish decided to go for Ocean Eyes. The song blew everyone away, and Billie and her brother decided to upload it to SoundCloud.

Interestingly, before that Billie and her brother had already uploaded two of their songs online. However, it was Ocean Eyes that would capture listeners' hearts. Gradually, the song became viral, and more and more people were learning about it. Soon Ocean Eyes appeared in the drama Everything, Everything (2016) and the TV show Running Man (Season 1, Episode 9), marking a major 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 single Bellyache on February 24, 2017, which she presented at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. They then filmed a striking music video for the song, with production handled by Miles and AJ, known for their work with Yoshi Flower, Jaden Smith, Max Frost, and others.

A month later the young artist recorded the track Bored, which became part of the official soundtrack for the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why. This was followed by the singles Watch and Copycat, and in August 2017 the singer released her debut EP Don't Smile at Me. The mini-album went gold, with one of her tracks achieving platinum status with over a million streams. Her track My Boy from this album was featured in Season 3 of the TV show Shadowhunters with Katherine McNamara and Dominic Sherwood.
In February 2018 Eilish embarked on her first tour Where's My Mind, which lasted almost three months, before surprising fans with several new songs. The young singer's success hasn't gone unnoticed among famous musicians.

Her resume boasts collaborations with artists like soul performer Khalid and hip-hop star Vince Staples. She also had the opportunity to serve as an opening act for the legendary British rock band Florence and the Machine.

"I've never mentioned it on the internet because nobody thinks I'm dead," Eilish wrote on Instagram, "as well as...the fact that I've just never wanted people to think of Tourette's every time they think of me."

  • Ocean eyes and Bad guy are my favorites by Billie Eilish. I also watched the Carpool karaoke show with her. Billy is so direct and positive.
