The success of young Billie Eilish is another example of how you can declare yourself and your talents over the Internet and get a portion of world glory. A 14-year-old teenager Billie posted a cover of the song Ocean Eyes, which became viral and was spread across the whole globe. However, the phenomenon of Eilish has been quite explained: the girl grew up among musicians and from childhood was passionate about the writing and performance of songs.
Childhood and youth
Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell was born on December 18, 2001, in Los Angeles, USA. The singer mainly has an Irish-Scottish origin. Patrick O’Connell and Maggie Baird were Folk Musicians. From an early age, they teach their children (the eldest son of Finneas and the daughter of Billie Eilish) musical creativity.
For more immersion in this process, adults even translated the guys for home learning. Subsequently, Billie thought that it is the norm to spend the whole day writing music and songs.
In the first years of Billie’s life, she saw only an inspiring example of her family. Mom wrote songs. Father played the piano and the Hawaiian guitar and also made wonderful mixtapes. Brother Finnias wrote his first songs. Billie, who, since 2 years old, began to show vocal talent, demonstrated magnificent rumor and a sense of rhythm, and also tried to write something. Her first idols were “The Beatles” and Avril Lavin.
Three years old – from 8 to 11 years old – Billie sang in the Children’s choir. In parallel with this occupation, the girl shot a video in an amateur chamber and even created a couple of shorts using a special application for iPhone. In addition to acting skills and music, another passion of the future star was dance. Eilish, being a teenager, took lessons in choreography.
The dance, its idea, and production were the goals of a girl when she was shot in the video on the song “Ocean Eyes”. The composition was written by Finneas, he was already playing as part of his group and asked her sister to sing the single to record the video. Neither he nor she even thought that this video would be the beginning of her star career.
Music
2016 was the time of a bright start for the singer. This year, the guys laid out the debut single Eilish on SoundCloud and released a music video with Billie dance. The girl’s dance career had to stop the trauma that did not allow her to develop further.
But her vocal talent was at its height. The recorded song had an incredible success, more than 10 million auditions were registered in a short period. There are several major recording labels with the desire to buy a song for Billie.
Darkroom and Interscope Records released a single in the studio to be heard by music lovers around the world. By the end of the year, Billie recorded another single Six Feet Under. On January 14, 2017, Eilish presented an EP with 4 remixes of Ocean Eyes.
Then Billie recorded another series of songs, including Bored, which was included in the official Soundtrack of the famous Netflix series “13 reasons why”.
In July 2017, the performer announced the long-awaited EP Don’t Smile at Me. The album was released in August 2017, and in February 2018, the singer went on a touring tour called Where’s My Mind, in which she spent two months.
After a series of concerts, the singer returned by no means tired, but full of original ideas, one of which she soon embodied. It is a collaboration with an artist named Khalid. Their joint Single Lovely also entered the list of soundtracks for the 2nd season of the series “13 reasons why”.
Since autumn 2018 in the spring of 2019, the artist one after one released tracks that were announced as the winning full-length studio album singles: Bitches Broken Hearts, Bury A Friend, When the Party’s Over, and others.
Album called When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? I saw the light on March 29, 2019. Long before its release, the producers received many pre-orders, and after the disk took off to the first lines of the charts. And here, Billie begins to beat all sorts of records. In the UK, a 17-year-old performer became the youngest artist ever close to the top of the chart. She also became the first artist born in the 21st century, who was able to take 1st place in the Billboard 200 hit parade.
In August 2019, Billie gave 2 concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg in the Hall of Layouts. And at the very beginning of the 2020th, the name of the singer again appeared in the headlines of news publications: the girl became the winner immediately in several basic nominations for the Grammy Prize.
Creativity Billie Eilish, in which such genres, as indie-pop, R & B, Hardcore, Movers, and Trip-Hop, have already deserved positive reviews, not only from musical critics but stars of the indie music genre Dave Glow and Lana Del Rey.
