About BILLIE EILISH

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (born December 18, 2001), known professionally as Billie Eilish, is a Grammy and Academy Award-winning American singer and songwriter signed to Darkroom/Interscope Records. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish grew up in a household of actors and musicians and was homeschooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell. 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 "Six Feet Under" and "Fingers Crossed," Eilish made her breakthrough with "Ocean Eyes," produced and co-written with 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, "dont smile at me," featuring the singles "COPYCAT" and "watch," followed later that summer. Her debut full-length album "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?," was released on March 29th, 2019, via Interscope Records. On January 26, 2020, she won five Grammys, including the "big four" awards: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. On February 18th, 2020, she won a Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist and for the first time performed her James Bond theme song "No Time to Die," joined by composer Hans Zimmer, guitar legend Johnny Marr, and Finneas. The theme won Eilish and Finneas an Oscar for Best Original Song. Additionally, Eilish is the youngest musician to have ever performed the theme song for a Bond film. On July 31, 2021, Billie Eilish released her Sophomore Album "Happier Than Ever," which broke the internet two days after its release. Eilish performed the album at the Life Is Beautiful festival, her first performance since the pandemic. In 2024, Eilish returned with her third studio album, "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT," released on May 17, 2024. The album featured hit songs like "LUNCH," "WILDFLOWER", and "BIRDS OF A FEATHER." Prior to this, her introspective ballad "What Was I Made For?," a track written for the Barbie movie soundtrack, won two Grammy Awards for Best Song Written for Visual Media and Song of the Year, and her second Oscar for Best Original Song. This achievement solidified her place as one of the most influential artists of her generation. Her writing and compositions have not yet achieved the incredible positions she might achieve with her nominations for "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year" with "WILDFLOWER" at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Eilish's ability to merge deeply personal lyrics with innovative production continues to push boundaries, making her one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music.
