The phenomenon of success of the young American singer Billie Eilish once again confirms the opportunity to declare her talent via the Internet and gain worldwide recognition. The video for the song "Ocean Eyes", posted online by a 14-year-old teenager, very soon went viral and spread all over the planet.
Billie Eilish Baird O'Connell grew up in a family of musicians, the girl was fond of performing and writing songs since childhood. This will explain the secret of her success.
Carier start
Billy's biography began in 2001. The future famous singer was born in Los Angeles on December 18 in an Irish-Scottish family. The girl's father and mother, Patrick O'Connell and Maggie Baird, are folk musicians. From an early age they taught their son and daughter, Finnias and Billy, to musical creativity.
Both children were homeschooled. As an adult, the singer admitted that it was normal for her to spend all day creating music and writing songs. The example of the family became inspiring for the future vocalist. My father made amazing mixtapes, played ukulele, my mother wrote singles. The older brother did the same.
Billy's vocal talent manifested itself at the age of two. She was distinguished by absolute pitch and sense of rhythm, tried to compose music. Avril Lavigne and the Beatles were the first inspiration for the baby. From eight to ten years old, the girl sang in the choir. At the same time, she filmed videos, created several short films using the iPhone application.
Dance became another passion of Billy. She attended choreography classes. For the filming of her video for the song "Ocean Eyes" the girl decided to dance. The brother, by that time performing with his own group, wrote the composition. He asked Billy to perform it in order to record a video. Both did not even suspect that the video would turn into the beginning of the teenager's triumph.
Confession
The year 2016 was a great start. Young musicians uploaded their debut single on Sound Cloud and released a music video with dance. However, soon, with the thought of a choreographic career, I had to forget: Billy received an injury that canceled her plans to continue her career as a dancer. But nothing prevented her singing career.
The vocal talent turned out to be so bright that the new song gained incredible popularity. More than ten million users listened to it in a short interval. Several well-known record labels approached the singer with an offer to purchase the rights to the song. Interscope Records with Darkroom released studio versions of the single.
All music lovers of the planet could hear it in this sound. By the end of the year, Billy showed another song, "Six Feet Under". In mid-January 2017, Eilish presented an EP with four remixes of Ocean Eyes. The vocalist then rewrote a number of works. Among them was included in the soundtrack of the famous TV series "Netflix" - "13 Reasons Why" composition "Bored".
In July, the EP "Don't Smile at Me" was announced. The album was released in August. In February 2018, Eilish's two-month tour "Where's My Mind" began. Billy returned in April. After a whole string of concerts, the celebrity did not look tired. On the contrary, she was full of new ideas that she dreamed of realizing as soon as possible.
New peaks
Together with Khalid, she recorded the single "Lovely". He was included in the number of soundtracks for the second season of the TV serial 13 Reasons Why. From the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2019, the performer recorded, announced as compositions of a full-length studio album. Among them are the compositions "Bitches Broken Hearts", "When the party's over", "Bad Guy" and several other songs. At the same time, clips were created for them.
All works are both striking in their originality and fascinating. The girl picked up the effects very unexpected. Billy never set a framework. She prefers to play exclusively by her own rules. This is manifested not only in her creative activity.
The image of the famous singer is also bright and creative. Eilish dyes her hair gray or blue and prefers pajamas to swimsuits. Shapeless robes, complemented by very noticeable accessories, have become the favorite clothing options for a slender, graceful girl.
With confidence, Billy admits that he will not wear what he does not want and with which he never agrees. In this, the singer differs markedly from her colleagues. She prefers to be remembered for her looks, not just her creativity. Following the rules is not for a rising star.
Future plans
At the end of March 2019, the album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" Was released. Before its release, there were a huge number of pre-orders. The disc immediately took the top lines of the charts.
The vocalist has become the youngest chart-topping conqueror in British history. She was named the first artist of the XXI century, topping the Billboard 200. Eilish's work harmoniously coexists hardcore with gospel, indie pop with trip-hop and R&B. This has already been noted by critics and her fellow stars Lana Del Rey and Dave Grohl.
Billy did not hide the fact that in childhood she suffered a difficult illness. She angrily denied the false accusations of drug use brought against her online. The star prefers a healthy lifestyle, practices vegetarianism.
But the vocalist does not cover her personal life. Fans just sigh, not knowing if she has a lover. However, all they have to do is watch the singer's "Instragram", hoping for some romantic pictures to appear.
Billy is touring. In August she plans concerts in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
