Thirteen-year-old Billie Eilish uploaded “Ocean Eyes” to SoundCloud for her dance instructor in 2015. Recorded with her brother, Finneas, the song would receive a thousand plays in the next twenty-four hours. Billie’s ethereal singing voice was intoxicating, and the track went viral. But she was no one-hit wonder. Over the next year, Billie and Finneas produced a series of eclectic but equally bewitching tracks, including “Bellyache,” “idontwannabeyouanymore,” and “my boy,” resulting in the Don’t Smile at Me EP, which broke the top twenty in over a dozen countries.

Undaunted and even emboldened by her youth, Billie has something to say about independence, veganism, mental health, body image, love, and the maelstrom of teenage life. Learn the story behind the hits and find out what makes Billie Eilish the most extraordinary teenage star in the world.
