Billie Eilish

, in November 2018 Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell was born in Los Angeles, California, on December 18, 2001. She is the daughter of actress and teacher Maggie Baird and actor Patrick O'Connell, both of whom are also musicians and work on Eilish's tours. Her middle name, Eilish, was chosen by her parents while watching a documentary about Irish conjoined twins Katie and Eilish Holton and was originally meant to be her first name, while Pirate was to have been her middle name. After her grandfather William Baird died while her mother was pregnant, her parents decided to name her Billie, after him. She grew up in Los Angeles's Highland Park neighborhood. Naturally blonde, Eilish has been dying her hair since she was 9 years old, starting with a Manic Panic shade of blue, and generally prefers it to be black which feels most "like [her]". Eilish and her older brother Finneas were homeschooled by Baird, a decision their parents made to spend time with them and give them the freedom to pursue their interests. Baird taught Eilish and Finneas the basics of songwriting. Eilish started playing the ukulele at age six. She performed at talent shows and joined the Los Angeles Children's Chorus at age eight. She wrote her first "real" song at age 11 for her mother's songwriting class. The song is about the zombie apocalypse, inspired by the television series The Walking Dead, from which she took script lines and episode titles. Eilish took some acting auditions, which she disliked, but she enjoyed recording background dialogue for crowd scenes and worked on the films Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Ramona and Beezus, and the X-Men series. Eilish also took dance classes until 2016, when a growth plate injury ended her dance career and she focused on recording music. == Career ==

2015–2017: ''Don't Smile at Me'' In 2015, 13-year-old Eilish began working on songs with her brother Finneas, who had been writing and producing for several years and had his own band. On November 18, 2015, Eilish released the song "Ocean Eyes". The track was written, mixed, and produced by Finneas, who had originally created it for his band the Slightlys before deciding it would be a better fit for Eilish's vocals. He gave it to Eilish when Fred Diaz, her dance teacher at the Revolution Dance Center, asked them to write a song for choreography. The siblings uploaded the song to SoundCloud, where Diaz could access and download it. The song received several hundred thousand listens in two weeks, and Finneas's manager, Danny Rukasin, reached out to him to discuss Eilish's potential. Rukasin felt she could achieve significant success with Finneas's help. In January 2016, Finneas and his manager arranged a deal in which Apple Music signed Eilish to A&R company Platoon, specializing in packaging emerging artists before they get a major-label contract. "Ocean Eyes" and Eilish received praise and promotion from various media outlets and marketers, including radio stations and music supervisors such as Beats 1, KCRW, BBC Radio 1, Zane Lowe, Jason Kramer, Annie Mac, and Chris Douridas. On June 23, 2016, Eilish and Finneas released "Six Feet Under" on SoundCloud as her second single. A homemade music video for the song was released on June 30, 2016. It was directed by Eilish and edited by her mother, Maggie Baird. He developed her rollout as an artist, taking inspiration from the model of hip hop artists such as Travis Scott and Chance the Rapper, not relying on one big single and focusing on creating a "persona and distinct aesthetic". Darkroom and Interscope Records re-released "Six Feet Under" and "Ocean Eyes" as singles for digital download and streaming on November 17 and 18, 2016, respectively.

In her acceptance speech for Record of the Year, Eilish said that Megan Thee Stallion "deserved to win", but still thanked her fans and her brother for her award. In 2021, she published her personally selected comprehensive book of photographs that shared "an intimate window into her life" on and off stage, By – Billie Eilish. On April 27, 2021, Eilish announced on her Instagram account that her second album, Happier Than Ever, would be released on July 30, and the tracklist was made available on Apple Music. The album was released in various formats, including collectible vinyl and cassette colors.

In June 2021, Eilish was criticized online for videos in which she mouthed the anti-Asian slur "chink" while lip-syncing the song "Fish" by Tyler, the Creator, while Matthew Tyler Vorce, her reported boyfriend at the time, received criticism for alleged social media posts in which he used offensive language and slurs against gay and Black people. Eilish was also accused of queerbaiting after using the caption "I love girls" to promote the music video for "Lost Cause". On June 22, she posted an apology to Instagram stories for her usage of "chink", saying that she was "appalled and embarrassed" by the video and that she was "13 or 14" at the time and did not know the slur was a derogatory term. She also addressed a separate video of what was viewed as her mocking an Asian accent, writing that she was actually "speaking in a silly gibberish made up voice". (2022) Eilish started formulating ideas for her third studio album's songs with Finneas in December 2021. In a July 2022 interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, she said she hoped to start writing the album in 2023. In 2022, Eilish won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the song "No Time to Die" from the film No Time to Die, becoming the first person born in the 21st century to win an Academy Award. The Pixar film Turning Red was released that year, for which she and Finneas wrote three songs, "Nobody Like U", "U Know What's Up" and "1 True Love", performed by Turning Red fictional boy band 4*Town. In June 2022, during her world tour's Manchester show, Eilish debuted the then-unreleased ballad "TV". The song references the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a case that made abortion a constitutional right in the US. The next month, on July 21, she surprise-released the two-track EP Guitar Songs, which includes "TV" alongside "The 30th". Eilish explained her decision to surprise-release the EP during the interview with Lowe. She told him that while work on her third studio album was coming soon, she refused to wait until that time to put "TV" and "The 30th" on a track list. She wanted to spread their messages to her fans as soon as possible, noting the immediacy of its lyrics: "These songs are really current for me, and they're songs that I want to have said right now." Another reason was Eilish had grown tired of doing heavy, traditional promotion for upcoming music. She wanted to release songs like she had early in her career, previewing them for fans in live concerts before releasing them without much marketing. Eilish worked with Apple Music to exclusively host a film of one of the Happier Than Ever tour concerts, specifically one of her shows at The O2 Arena in London. She billed the film as a way for fans who missed out on tickets to experience the tour, wanting more people to recognize her showmanship live. Three concerts, titled Happier Than Ever, The Hometown Encore, were held at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, from December 13 to 16, 2022, as part of the tour. In 2023, Eilish made her acting debut in the Amazon Prime Video satirical thriller series Swarm. Eilish wrote the song "What Was I Made For?" for the soundtrack of the 2023 film Barbie. According to statements posted on her social media, she was inspired to write the song after seeing unfinished scenes of the movie during its production. In 2024, the song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and two Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media. It became the tenth song in history to win both an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Song of the Year, and Eilish became the youngest person ever to win two Academy Awards in any category. She announced a tour to support the album, Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, on April 29, 2024, with concerts in North America, Oceania and Europe between September 2024 and July 2025. While on a visit to London due to the success of the recently released album in the UK, Eilish appeared alongside London-based content creator Amelia Dimoldenberg on her web series Chicken Shop Date, which was dubbed as the "flirtiest episode yet", and also appeared as a guest host for children's channel CBeebies' bedtime story. On August 11, 2024, Eilish performed "Birds of a Feather" on Belmont Shore, Long Beach, during the 2024 Summer Olympics closing ceremony as part of the handover to Los Angeles, which would host the Games in 2028. In March 2026, it was reported that Eilish was in "advanced talks" to make her film acting debut as lead character Esther Greenwood in a Sarah Polley-directed adaptation of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. == Artistry ==

Musical style, songwriting, and music videos Eilish has a soprano vocal range. Avery Stone of Vice called her vocals "ethereal", and Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone characterized them as "whispery". Doreen St. Félix of The New Yorker wrote that she has a "husky, slurring voice that she can thin out to reedy". Music critic Robert Christgau wrote that while Eilish is musically and commercially pop, her brand also "reminds us how amorphous [pop] has become", calling her soprano "too diminutive for vocal calisthenics" and adding that her "playful version of teen-goth angst" and "electro-saturated debut album" captivate a diverse audience. Her music is generally described as pop although she also incorporates elements of electronic, electropop, and indie pop, while also falling under bedroom pop, emo pop, experimental pop, pop rock, and teen pop labels, with dark pop and indie electronic inflections. Musicologist Jessica Holmes argued that much of Eilish's music concerns her depression. Eilish and her brother, Finneas, collaborate on songwriting. Finneas writes for Eilish's albums, produces her music, and also performs in live shows. Eilish and Finneas "like to completely make up things and become characters" and "have songs that are really fictional". When he writes with Eilish, he tries "to help her tell whatever story she's trying to tell, bounce ideas off of her, listen to her ideas", and use a language that fits her voice telling the story. In 2019, she made her directorial debut with the video for her song "Xanny". Influences Eilish grew up listening to the Beatles, Justin Bieber, Green Day, the 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Nine Inch Nails, and Lana Del Rey. She has said that stumbling upon Aurora's "Runaway" on YouTube inspired her to pursue a music career. Hip hop is her favorite genre and biggest inspiration. She has recounted that Matty Healy was an early inspiration for her: "His show is the second show I ever went to in my life. He changed so much about who I am, how I write music." She has also cited Tyler, the Creator, Childish Gambino, and Avril Lavigne as major musical and style influences. Other influences include Adele, Earl Sweatshirt, James Blake, Amy Winehouse, the Spice Girls, Lorde, Marina, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, XXXTentacion, and Twenty One Pilots. She has also shown appreciation for Paramore after inviting Hayley Williams to join her set during Williams's first Coachella set to perform an acoustic version of "Misery Business" and sing "Happier Than Ever". Eilish also named Rihanna as an inspiration for her style choices after she called fashion her "defense mechanism" during an acceptance speech. She has also credited Damon Albarn for changing the way she views art and music creation. Eilish has been compared in the media to Lavigne, Lorde and Del Rey, the last of whom she says she does not want to be compared to, saying, "That woman has made her brand so perfect for her whole career and she shouldn't have to hear that." Eilish said that Ariana Grande's 2019 album Thank U, Next inspired her to continue making music. == Achievements ==

She is the second person ever, and the first and only female artist, to win the four main Grammy categories—Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year—in the same night (2020). That night, she also became the youngest winner of Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album, as well as the second-youngest winner of Song of the Year and Best New Artist, at 18 years old.

She is currently within the top 35 most-followed Instagram accounts of all time. In March 2021, Eilish uploaded a photo debuting her new blonde hair, which ended up breaking the record for the fastest Instagram post to reach one million likes, in about six minutes. In May, she broke her own record by posting the cover of her collaboration with British Vogue, which reached the milestone in under six minutes. Both posts were, at one point, in the top three and top five most-liked Instagram posts of all time, respectively. From April 4 to April 5, 2024, Eilish gained over eight million followers, breaking the record for the most followers gained in 24 hours by a woman. With over 74 million followers on TikTok, Eilish has the 13th most-followed account on the platform. == Public image ==

Much of the media attention surrounding Eilish has revolved around her fashion style, which consists primarily of baggy, oversized clothing. She tries to be "really different from a lot of people" and dresses opposite to what others wear. In 2019, she said: "Over time it's kind of become a thing, 'Billie Eilish, the creepy, weird, scary girl.' And I don't like that. It's lame. I just don't want to stay one thing." In May 2019, Eilish appeared in a Calvin Klein advertisement, where she mentioned that she dresses in baggy clothes to prevent people from judging her body. In a March 2020 live show in Miami, as part of the Where Do We Go? Tour, she premiered Not My Responsibility, a short film which addresses her experiences of body shaming. Not My Responsibility was uploaded to Eilish's YouTube channel in May 2020. Eilish was on the cover of the June 2021 issue of British Vogue. The photoshoot by Craig McDean featured her dressed in lingerie, specifically focused on corsets. Eilish made her first appearance at the Met Gala in 2021, which had the theme "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion", wearing an Oscar de la Renta gown under the condition that the fashion house would permanently end its use of real fur. Though the dress was inspired by the original Barbie doll, fashion critics observed its likeness to Golden Age star Marilyn Monroe, who wore a tulle de la Renta gown in the early 1950s. == Products and endorsements ==

In March 2018, Eilish released Blōhsh, her clothing merchandise line. In April 2019, Eilish released clothing in collaboration with Takashi Murakami, inspired by her music video for "You Should See Me in a Crown", also directed and animated by Murakami, as well as a limited edition vinyl figure of herself from the video. Eilish also collaborated with Adobe Creative Cloud the same month for a series of advertisements as well as a social media art contest, where users would submit artwork with the hashtag "#BILLIExADOBE". Eilish appeared in the debut of Calvin Klein's #MyCalvins ad campaign in May 2019, as well as the Ad Council's "Seize the Awkward" campaign, a series of public service announcements targeting mental health awareness. She fronted MCM Worldwide's fall 2019 advertising campaign in July 2019, and later that month collaborated with Los Angeles-based clothing brand Freak City on a clothing line. Also in July 2019, she performed at a dinner hosted by Chanel on Shelter Island to celebrate the brand's pop-up yacht club. In August 2019, Eilish partnered with Apple to allow Apple Store customers to experiment with her song "You Should See Me in a Crown" in Music Lab sessions in its stores. Eilish's collaboration with the clothing company Siberia Hills was met with controversy after it was revealed that the company had used plagiarized designs of fan art of the character Nozomi Tojo from Love Live!, drawn by artist Makoto Kurokawa, for Eilish's clothing line. The brand later clarified that Eilish had no knowledge of the plagiarism. In November 2021, she debuted "Eilish", her perfume brand, which is vegan and cruelty-free. In October 2024, Eilish collaborated with the shoe brand Converse for "Converse x Billie Eilish By You", a limited-time release where Chuck Taylor sneakers could be customized with lyrics from Eilish's songs. == Advocacy and political views ==

Eilish has a history of political activism, publicly expressing her views on many political issues. Her views have been described as progressive and left-wing. She has been vocal with regard to environmental causes, including climate change awareness. Among other pursuits, Eilish signed an open letter to world leaders urging them to take action against climate-induced poverty, embarked on an ad campaign encouraging young people to use technology for environmental advocacy, and hosted a six-day climate seminar in London titled Overheated to discuss topics such as sustainable fashion and youth activism. Her 2019 single "All the Good Girls Go to Hell" and its subsequent video center around climate change and use heaven-and-hell imagery to criticize ignorance of rising sea levels, and she permitted the nonprofit CoralWatch to use "Ocean Eyes" as part of an online awareness campaign about Australia's Great Barrier Reef. She is a regular advocate on social media for animal rights and veganism, and has criticized the dairy, mink fur, and wool industries. In 2023, Eilish stated she refuses to travel by private jet. Eilish has spoken on multiple occasions about women's rights. She wrote and produced the 2020 short film Not My Responsibility as a response to body shaming toward her and the double standards placed upon women's appearances. "Your Power", one of her 2021 singles, criticizes the sexual exploitation of young women, primarily by men who hold power over them. Eilish associates herself with the US abortion rights movement; she expressed rage when Texas implemented its anti-abortion laws in 2021. During the 2022 Glastonbury festival, she performed "Your Power" to condemn the overturning of Roe v. Wade. She spoke of the decision: "Today is a really, really dark day for women in the U.S. I'm just going to say that as I cannot bear to think about it any longer in this moment." She included a reference to Roe v. Wade overturning in her 2022 track "TV", much of which she wrote after a draft of the court decision was leaked online in May. In March 2020, Eilish encouraged fans online to register to vote for the 2020 US presidential election. In August 2020, she performed at the 2020 Democratic National Convention and announced her endorsement of Joe Biden's presidential campaign. In 2023, Eilish worked with others to start and fund REVERB's Music Decarbonization Project, and as part of a decarbonization project used solar powered stage lights. Eilish has also been an active voice in advocating for Palestinian rights and calling for a ceasefire during the Gaza war. In December 2023, she signed an open letter from Artists4Ceasefire urging U.S. President Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, which she later promoted by wearing the group's pin at the 2024 Academy Awards. In July 2025, she used her Instagram stories to repost news about an Israeli plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza and described the proposal as "horrifying", while also sharing content highlighting humanitarian needs such as access to clean water in the territory. In September 2025, Eilish participated in the Together for Palestine campaign, appearing in a video alongside other artists to raise funds and call attention to humanitarian conditions in Palestine. In September 2024, she and her brother, Finneas, endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election. In October 2025, at The Wall Street Journal magazine's Innovator Awards, it was revealed that Eilish had donated $11.5 million from her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour to support organizations and projects dedicated to food equity, client justice, reducing carbon pollution, and combating the climate crisis. While accepting the "Music Innovator Award" that night, Eilish urged people with wealth to use their money for good things and to give it away to people in need. She added, "If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away." The statement sparked controversy, with many applauding Eilish's charitable donation and advocacy, while others expressed their discontent with Eilish's words. In November 2025, Eilish criticized Elon Musk via Instagram, upon learning that Musk was on track to become the world's first ever trillionaire. On her story, Eilish reposted a series of infographics from the activist movement, "My Voice, My Choice," that shared ways Musk could redistribute his massive accumulation of wealth, including ending world hunger, providing clean water universally, and aiding in the conservation of endangered species. Eilish proceeded to call him a "pathetic pussy bitch coward" for hoarding wealth during a global crisis. Musk later responded on X, stating that "she's not the sharpest tool in the shed." Public reception of Eilish's actions was generally positive, although she did receive some opposition. In the light of the killing of Renée Good in January 2026, Eilish shared an Instagram post stating ICE is a "terrorist group" and calling for its abolition. Eilish has previously spoken out against ICE's activities in her home city of Los Angeles. She spoke out on ICE and the current administration again during her acceptance speech for the 2026 Martin Luther King Jr. Beloved Community Environmental Justice award later that same month. Eilish again addressed immigration issues during her acceptance speech for Song of the Year at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2026. At the ceremony, she stated that "no one is illegal on stolen land" while denouncing ICE and expressing support for continued activism in support of immigrants. Her remarks drew a mix of praise from supporters of immigrant rights and criticism from commentators who argued that her comments were hypocritical, given her ownership of high-value property on land that was historically inhabited by the Tongva. == Personal life ==

Eilish lived with her parents in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles until 2019, when she moved out. She said she received a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome when she was 11 years old. She also has synesthesia and experienced depression. Eilish has also shared that she experienced sexual abuse as a child. She was raised vegetarian before becoming vegan. Eilish has publicly expressed sexual attraction to both men and women. From 2018 to 2019, she dated rapper Brandon Adams, who goes by the stage name 7:AMP. Eilish then dated actor Matthew Tyler Vorce from 2021 until 2022. In 2024, she stated, "I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever. And I hope that they never will again. And I'm never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I'm never talking about who I'm dating ever again." On a 2020 episode of the me and dad radio podcast, Eilish said: "When I was a little kid, I was super religious for no damn reason. My family never was religious. I didn't know anyone that was religious. And for some reason, as a little girl, I just was incredibly religious ... And then at one point, I don't know what happened. It just completely went away...[and I became] almost anti-religious for no reason." She said the experience made her more "open-minded" to other religions. Of her own religion, Eilish said: "I don't not believe and I don't do believe. I'm in a very neutral position. I'm open to every belief pretty much...[I love] the idea that there's a God. So why not? How would I know? I'm not going to say I know. I don't. Nobody knows." == Discography ==
