Biography of the American singer
Billie Eilish is a simple American who suddenly became popular on the Internet. The girl grew up in an ordinary area close to the ghetto, in a working-class family, studied at home and took dancing classes. After a serious injury, I stopped taking choreography lessons. Having posted a recording of the song “Ocean Eyes” on the Internet, she suddenly became famous and continued to make music, but this time professionally. By the age of 17, Billie already had millions of views and fans around the world.
Childhood and youth
Billie was born on December 18, 2001 in Los Angeles. The girl is originally from America, but Irish and Scottish blood flows in her veins. As always happens, the girl’s childhood was not easy: from an early age, Billy has been trying to control her illness - Tourette syndrome. This is a rare genetic disorder of the central nervous system that causes involuntary movements and sounds. Sometimes these can be entire phrases. Billie Eilish has a mild form of the disease - frequent blinking, bulging eyes, twitching eyebrows and sticking out her tongue.
Eilish's parents are simple workers in the entertainment industry. The family's home was located near Highland Park. Billy says that during her childhood, gunfire was often heard here. The girl was educated at home and from an early age began writing songs, while also practicing dancing. The older brother had his own group at that time. To some extent, Billie followed in his footsteps and became a singer.

The path to popularity
The girl’s career began in 2020, when she recorded the song “Ocean Eyes,” which was originally written by her brother Finneas for his band. The dance for the video was choreographed by the choreography teacher from whom Billie studied. The debut single received more than 35 million plays in February 2018, and the video received more than 110 million in 2019. This is how the girl became noticeable for the Darkroom and Interscope Records labels.
First success
Producers cite her age as the main reason for Eilish’s success. The young rebel, who challenges the entire music world and sets her own trends, has found a response in the hearts of teenagers. Billie added a punk sound to the usual pop compositions and thereby expanded the concept of the genre of music in modern times. Her songs reflect the dark and gloomy thoughts of teenagers that everyone faced in their 13-17 years. The girl sings about trying to escape from herself, about fighting internal fears, about accepting herself and many other personality problems. Due to the new sound of Billie's vocals, she also included adults in her target audience. From loud major notes the girl switches to barely audible minor chords that make the heart tremble with melancholy.
Present and creative plans for the future
Now the girl continues to gain fame - auditions are increasing, accounts are gaining thousands of new subscribers. The girl attracts full houses on tours. At the end of 2020, Billie toured cities in America and Canada with the album. And in 2020, the singer has already visited countries such as Germany, Italy, Great Britain, France, Sweden and Russia. In the spring of 2020, Billie released the album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, which included 13 singles.
Such a colossal success of Eilish makes her authoritative in the world of the fashion industry. Teenagers sing the girl's songs, copying her clothing style. She owes a large number of branded items and jewelry to the designers from whom she receives gifts, as the singer herself states. In 2020, Billie signed a contract with the famous modeling agency Next Models.
In 2020, Billie Eilish recorded a remix with Bieber, but the song was received coldly, so the singer decided to further advance her work independently.
In September 2020, Billie Eilish visited Moscow with a concert and was invited to the “Evening Urgant” show. There, the singer told how she recorded her first album in a room and what songs she prefers to listen to when traveling. The girl also performed the Russian version of the sensational song “Bad gay”.
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). Billy's parental home is located in the Highland Park area. “Highland Park has become popular now, but it wasn’t like that when I grew up there,” Billy says. “We kept hearing shots and everything – we never knew what to expect. And people think I'm a little rich girl from Los Angeles."
Billie Eilish in childhood
Billie, like her older brother, spent her childhood years homeschooled—she is still grateful to her parents’ decision to this day. The girl believes that in a regular school no one would take her seriously, and this would be very upsetting to her. At home, nothing distracted Eilish from gaining knowledge and her favorite pastime - music.
Billie Eilish and her family
From the age of 8, Eilish sang in a children's choir, and at the age of 11 she began writing and performing her own songs - like her older brother Finneas O'Connell (born 1997), who at that time already had his own group, The Slightlys.
Billie Eilish in her youth
Eilish was inspired by a variety of music - she liked the work of American rapper TierraWhack, indie band The Strokes and British rockers Arctic Monkeys. Billy's other favorites include the legendary The Beatles and Avril Lavigne.
Billy's other hobbies include dancing. However, in January 2016, the girl received an injury that forever interrupted her dancing career.
The singer's personal life
The girl prefers not to talk about her personal life, although she does not hide the fact that she is successful with the opposite sex. There were a lot of rumors on the Internet that the girl was spotted in the company of Shawn Mendes, Khalid and Jack Francis. Fans can only guess what connects Billy with all these men, because the singer herself does not comment on this matter. In an interview, the girl states that at eighteen she is not ready for a long-term and serious relationship, because this could interfere with her creative and personal development. It doesn’t apply to exes either.

Billie Eilish's parents and childhood
Billie was born in Los Angeles. Has Irish-Scottish roots. She received her education at home, and, by her own admission, hated studying mathematics and English literature, trying to devote as little time as possible to these subjects. But Eilish spent all her free time doing something else - playing the piano.
The girl began playing musical instruments from an early age. She also sang in a Los Angeles choir, wrote songs and took dance classes.
Billy's father (Patrick O'Connell) is an actor, and his mother (Maggie Baird) is a singer, songwriter and voice actress. Patrick has always been a big music fan and listened to a variety of genres. He instilled in Billie Eilish a love of music. Teaching his daughter to play musical instruments is also his idea.
If Billy's father helped her fall in love with music, then her mother inspired her to create her own. She writes songs and poems herself; this talent was passed on to her daughter.
Her parents always helped Eilish on her creative path and encouraged her to further develop, for which she is very grateful to them. Billy admits that without them she would not be who she is today.
Billy has a brother, Finneas, whose life is also connected with the music industry.

Appearance
The girl is always attentive to how she looks, because throughout her childhood she considered herself fat and her smile ugly. Even on Instagram, the lion's share of posts is taken up by sketches of teeth. The singer's hair constantly undergoes various color metamorphoses; more often she dyes it ash, blue and green.
Billy doesn't have a special hairstyle; it's basically a simple haircut and straight, shoulder-length hair. But the singer is indifferent to cosmetics and allows herself to be in public absolutely without makeup. Billy's style is bright and acidic, street and baggy oversized. The look is completed with chunky sneakers, which attract no less attention to the unusual combination of colors and prints.
All this prompted her to open her own clothing line for teenagers, where anyone can buy the singer’s original hat for $25. How much a sweatshirt or T-shirt from a famous singer costs is also no secret - all items in merch range from $55 to $100. You can also buy stickers there with different symbols and Eilish's signature.

Billie Eilish in 2020
Billie also admitted that she had never used drugs, despite numerous false accusations on the Internet. The star said that she leads a healthy lifestyle and practices vegetarianism with her family.
The only thing the popular singer is silent about is her personal life. Fans really want to know if she is in a relationship, if she has a boyfriend. But for now, all they can do is watch the artist’s Instagram, hoping that romantic photos are about to appear there.
Growing up as a singer
Fans had no idea what Billie was hiding under her robes and hoodies until one day she unbuttoned her jacket in the heat. The singer's lush breasts stunned fans, because no one expected the young singer to look so hot.
Today, Billy’s photo in a white T-shirt is considered her hottest image, although the girl is regularly photographed for glossy magazines and Internet publications.
Shocking oversize
Young Billie Eilish has not yet turned 18 years old, and she is already thinking about people seeing her soul and not her body. Billie Eilish deliberately hides her figure so that listeners are not distracted by her curves. In photographs, concerts and walks, Billy always wears huge T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and bomber jackets that reliably hide his figure. Even in the photo for Calvin Klein, Eilish is wearing her favorite sweatshirts 5 sizes too big.
Candid or seductive images of Billie Eilish are absent on the Internet, and fans dream of knowing what their idol looks like in a swimsuit or at least in clothes that fit the body.
