However her mother Maggie also worked as a screenwriter, producer, and teacher, while Billie’s father Patrick has also done his fair share of work in construction. The two of them are also amateur musicians.

After meeting in New York, Maggie and Patrick decided to start their family in Los Angeles where both Billie and her older brother Finneas O’Connell were born. Finneas is 4 years older than Billie. 

Growing up in Highland Park Billie and Finneas would be homeschooled which led to their mother Maggie teaching the kids the basics of songwriting. On the other hand, Patrick taught Billie how to play the piano. Billie stated that she wrote her first song when she was four years old and it was apparently inspired by her favorite show at that time called The Walking Dead.

Interests:

When it comes to musical influences Eilish has cited a range of genres from Peggy Lee to Justin Bieber, The Beatles, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, and Drake. But it looks like two people in particular Eilish feel incredible when it comes to music, Tyler The Creator and Amy Winehouse. 

Aside from her love for music which was evident from a young age, Billie also grew fond of horses as well as dancing and photography. At just 8 years old she enrolled in the Los Angeles children’s chorus. Around the same time, she tried her hand at acting but it’s clear she didn’t want to follow in her parent’s footsteps. 

By the age of 9, Billie and her two friends entered the 96-hour Film Festival where they had to write, shoot, and edited a short film in just 96 hours. Eilish also found something about being with horses but her family couldn’t afford for her to take riding lessons. Although Billie was determined so she got a job working at a local stable to pay for lessons at just 10 years old. 

Being a creative kid with a true love for arts, Billie also spent a lot of her youth dancing, spending up to 11 hours a week at the local dance studio. She loved dancing although she wasn’t a fan of ballet. However, she still had to learn how to dance ballet and also has an experience in Tap, Jazz, and some other genres. 

At the age of 13, Billie joined a dance company called Revolution Dance Center but doesn’t have the fondest memories of her time there. 

Early Career:

In 2015 Billie suffered a growth plate injury which unfortunately led to her hanging up her dancing shoes. However, this would be a blessing in disguise as Billie began spending more time working on music with her older brother Finneas. 

It is no secret that the two are close with really commonly referring to Finneas as her brother and best friend. As of now Finneas produces and writes all of Billie’s music with her. 

However, it wasn’t always that way, speaking with variety Billie explained the first song that they worked on, and didn’t write together. Her brother wrote the song called She’s Broken and Billie wrote one called Fingers Crossed.

They recorded their songs and put them into SoundCloud just for fun and around that time Billie was just 13 years old. But it wouldn’t be long before the two teamed up for the breakthrough single Ocean Eyes which changed their lives forever. 

The song was originally written for Finneas’ band at that time, Billie’s older brother felt it would sound best in her voice. And just so happened that a few days prior to Finneas approaching Billie with the song Fred Diaz Billie’s old dance teacher asked her and Finneas to make a song for him to teach a choreographed dance to. 

After Finneas taught Billie the song they put it together and uploaded it on their SoundCloud for their dance teacher to download. Billie explained that we uploaded the song with a free download link but overnight a ton of people started hearing it and sharing it. 

Following this, Danny Rukasin who is now her manager reached out to her brother to discuss Eilish’s potential.

Career Breakthrough:

On November 18, 2015, Ocean Eyes was uploaded to SoundCloud and immediately went viral playing millions of times. The variety of Ocean Eyes led to Eilish’s signing with Apple Music-owned by Platoon in which she signed an artist development deal that would be negotiated by her brother. 

In June of 2016 Eilish again teamed up with her brother and they released their second single titled Six Feet Under on SoundCloud. In August of 2016, Billie signed with a management company called Darkroom an imprint of Interscope Records. Under the deal, she released a video of herself dancing to the song Ocean Eyes which was re-released through Interscope. 

From that point forwards, Billie has gone on to release a good amount of music and is setting herself up for a very successful future. Then in August of 2017, Eilish released her debut EP called Don’t Smile at Me as her first full-length project.

The EP included tracks such as Ocean Eyes, Bellyache, Copycat, and more. That EP wouldn’t debut too high in the Billboard 200 charts initially coming in at 185. Following her performance at the famous South by Southwest music festival, Eilish embarked on her tour in October of that year.
