Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell gained early traction in 2015 when her brother Finneas wrote and produced her debut single "Ocean Eyes" for SoundCloud. She released the EP Don't Smile at Me in 2017, which charted across the US, UK, and Australia. Her breakthrough album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) opened atop the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart, becoming one of that year's best-sellers. Its lead single "Bad Guy" made history as the first Hot 100 chart-topper by an artist born after 1999 and earned Diamond certification from the RIAA. In 2020, Eilish recorded "No Time to Die" for the James Bond film of the same name, which topped the UK Singles Chart and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022. Her second album Happier Than Ever (2021) also debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, with multiple singles—"Therefore I Am," "Happier Than Ever," "My Future," and "Your Power"—reaching the top ten in the US and UK. For the 2023 film Barbie, she co-wrote and performed "What Was I Made For?," which became her second UK number-one and earned her a second Academy Award. Her third album Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024) received critical acclaim and produced the top-five hits "Lunch" and "Birds of a Feather," with the latter reaching #1 on the Billboard Global 200. As a composer, singer, and singer-songwriter, Eilish is recognized for her distinctive vocal timbre and minimalist production approach. Born on December 18, 2001, she is a Sagittarius. Her honors include two Academy Awards, ten Grammy Awards (three of them Song of the Year wins), nine American Music Awards, twenty Guinness World Records, eight MTV Video Music Awards, four Brit Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. She remains the only female artist in Grammy history to sweep all four general field categories in a single night and the youngest ever to win both Album of the Year and Record of the Year. Eilish is also the first person born in the 21st century to win both a Grammy and an Academy Award, and the youngest two-time Academy Award winner. Time magazine featured her on its inaugural Time 100 Next list in 2019 and the main Time 100 in 2021, while the BBC named her to its 100 Women list in 2022.
