Singer Billie Eilish delivered the best-selling album in America at the age of 17 with her debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell was born in Los Angeles in 2001 in a musical environment. She knew from an early age that she wanted to be a singer. One of the first times the outside world heard of her was with the song Ocean Eyes, written by her brother Finneas, who initially intended it for his own band. Billie Eilish initially distributed it herself in 2016 via digital channels, but it was also released via a regular record company not much later.

More singles followed, such as Lovely, which she recorded with her American colleague Khalid. In 2018, the single Party Favor was also released, with a cover of Drake's Hotline Bling on the B-side. From the beginning, Billie Eilish seemed to turn everything she touched into platinum and gold. As young as she was, so mature was her sound. Strong songs, great vocals and a fascinating mix of influences. The singer stated in interviews that she was influenced by both current styles and artists such as hip-hop, Lana Del Ray, Lorde, Ariana Grande and established names such as The Beatles and Green Day.

Even before she released her debut, she went on tour and also made a great impression on stage thanks to her undeniable talent, charisma and idiosyncrasy. Expectations were therefore high when her debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was released in March 2019. The special thing was that it was a resounding success both artistically and commercially. Even the traditional media were very positive about the exciting mix of pop, hip-hop, rock and acoustic work that she presented. Many called it one of the best albums of 2019. She reached number one on the album charts in several countries, including England and America. In her own country, for example, it became the best-selling album of 2019. Billie Eilish thus emerged as a unique talent who has more than fulfilled all promises so far, while of course she is only at the beginning of an undoubtedly exciting career.
