“	I'm the bad guy, duh.	”
―Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (born: December 18, 2001 (2001-12-18)), is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California, Eilish began singing at a young age. She gained media attention in 2016, when she uploaded the song "Ocean Eyes" on SoundCloud, subsequently released by Darkroom on Interscope Records.

Music Career

"Ocean Eyes" was written and produced by her brother Finneas O'Connell, with whom she collaborates on music and live shows. Eilish's debut EP, Don't Smile at Me (2017), reached the top 15 in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Her debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), debuted atop the Billboard 200 and became the best-performing album of 2019 in the U.S., also reaching number one in the UK. The album contains six Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles: "When the Party's Over", "Bury a Friend", "Wish You Were Gay", "Xanny", "Everything I Wanted", and "Bad Guy", the last of which became Billie's first number-one single in the US. It peaked at number-one in the US, knocking down Lil Nas X's record-breaking 19 weeks at number-one with "Old Town Road" and she is the first artist born in the 2000s and also the youngest artist since Lorde (with "Royals") to have a number-one single.

On November 13, 2019, Billie released Everything I wanted. It was nominated for a Grammy for "Best Pop Solo Performance" and was won. The song is about her relationship with her brother, but it was originally only about her having a dream about committing suicide. Her brother, Finneas, did not want to help her write it at first because it was too dark, it also being named "Nightmare" before it being renamed.

On February 13, 2020, Eilish released No Time to Die, the theme song for the 2021 James Bond movie (No Time to Die). It came out 20 months earlier than the movie, because the movie was originally intended to come out in 2020. But Covid 19 delayed the release of the movie.

On July 30th, 2021, Billie released her sophomore album, Happier Than Ever. This album included the previously released singles: My Future, Therefore I Am,Your Power, Lost Cause, and NDA. It was nominated for several Grammy's.

Controversy

body-shaming comments

In 2019, Eilish made an interesting statement when asked about prom, which many viewed as “a body-shaming insult,” according to The Things.

Many found the comment ironic from someone who has preached body positivity throughout her career. Billie would then say “Listen, I’m not shaming people for their looks, but I am though. You give an ugly guy a chance, he thinks he rules the world. I swear to God, because they got a hot girl, they can be horrible? Like, you’re still ugly though. Can’t change that. Maybe that’s why.”
