About Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish began writing and recording at home in Los Angeles with her brother and principal collaborator, FINNEAS. Her 2019 debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, brought that studio partnership to a broad pop audience, with Bad Guy among its prominent songs. Her music places pop structures within a dark, genre-blending studio sound. The 2024 album Hit Me Hard and Soft continued her solo catalog; FINNEAS's own releases remain a separate artist's work.
