The chart topping, record breaking, and show stopping artist, Billie Eilish, is embarking on her 7th world tour, “Hit Me Hard And Soft”! Billie Eilish (full name Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell) born December 18, 2001, is a 22 year old American singer/songwriter. She started to make music in 2015 with her brother Finneas, who was already making music beforehand in his own band. Billie’s first songs written and produced with her brother were “She’s Broken” and “Fingers Crossed”. After releasing these songs, she then released her smash hit and the song mostly everyone found out about her by, “Ocean Eyes”, was released on November 18, 2015 on Soundcloud. This song blew up massively all over the internet with millions streaming the song and catching the attention of the record labels “Darkroom Records” and “Interscope Records”, who released “Ocean Eyes” a year later on November 18th, 2016. Due to this song, her career skyrocketed. Come 2017, she released her debut EP “Don’t Smile At Me”, which was received extremely well as it reached the top 15 on charts in multiple countries. Her first studio album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, released in 2019, was a massive global success as it debuted at number one on US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart and became Spotify’s highest streamed album of 2019. Her 2021 album “Happier Than Ever” topped the charts in a whopping 23 different countries. On top of all of this success, she has been awarded two academy awards for the songs “What Was I Made For?” (2023) for the blockbuster film “Barbie” and the song “No Time To Die” (2021) for the James Bond film also named “No Time To Die”. With all of the broken records she has, awards, mixed with her extreme success and popularity, no wonder she’s named one of the biggest artists at the moment.
