Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell ( EYE-lish; born December 18, 2001) is an American singer-songwriter. Eilish first gained public attention in 2015 with her debut single "Ocean Eyes" which was released on SoundCloud and written and produced by her brother Finneas O'Connell. In 2017, she released her debut EP, Don't Smile at Me, which was commercially successful in various countries, including the US, UK, and Australia. Eilish's debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart and was one of the year's best-selling albums. Its single "Bad Guy" became the first by an artist born in the 21st century to top the US Billboard Hot 100 and be certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The next year, Eilish performed the theme song "No Time to Die" for the James Bond film No Time to Die, which topped the UK Singles Chart and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022. Eilish's second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021), became her second album to debut atop the Billboard 200, and topped the charts in multiple countries. Its singles "My Future", "Therefore I Am", "Happier Than Ever", and "Your Power", each peaked within the top ten in the US and UK. She co-wrote and performed "What Was I Made For?" for the fantasy film Barbie (2023), which became her second number-one single in the UK and earned her a second Academy Award. Her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024), was met with critical acclaim and spawned the US top-five singles "Lunch" and "Birds of a Feather", with the latter becoming her first number-one on the Billboard Global 200. Known for her distinctive musical sound and vocal style, Eilish is a prominent figure in 2020s pop culture. Her accolades include two Academy Awards, ten Grammy Awards (including three Song of the Year wins, the most in Grammy history alongside Finneas), nine American Music Awards, twenty Guinness World Records, eight MTV Video Music Awards, four Brit Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. She is the second artist and only female in Grammy history to win all four general field categories—Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist—in a singular ceremony, also becoming the youngest ever winner of both Album of the Year and Record of the Year. Eilish is the first person born in the 21st century to win both a Grammy Award and an Academy Award, and the youngest ever two-time winner of the latter. She was featured on Time magazine's inaugural Time 100 Next list in 2019 and the Time 100 in 2021. According to the RIAA and Billboard, Eilish is the 26th-highest-certified digital singles artist and one of the most successful artists of the 2010s. She was honored as one of the BBC 100 Women in December 2022. Eilish has a history of political activism, focusing on climate change awareness, women's reproductive rights, and gender equality.
