WELCOME
Sometimes the world is just ripe for a revolution, and in 2019
a young, grungy singer from upper Los Angeles armed with
nothing more than her voice and limitless ambition stormed
the stage and changed the music industry forever. Her name
was Billie Eilish, and this is the story of how she kicked down
the gilded door of a world once reserved for those willing to
play by the rules and threw the status quo out of the window.
From her humble beginnings writing songs with her
brother, Finneas, in a bedroom at their family home to
going viral with Ocean Eyes, performing at Glastonbury and
sweeping the board at the Grammys, this fanbook explores
the meteoric rise of an artist who never expected to go beyond
a few thousand likes.
You’ll also discover who influenced the biggest pop star on
the planet, find out how she came to be the youngest singer
of a James Bond theme in history and discover what music’s
most popular artist has been doing while the world has been
on lockdown, from creating a new album to protesting for
social justice in a divided America.
Whether you’re new to the songs of this music sensation or
a bona fide Bad Guy, this book promises a fresh new look at
the life of an artist described as “undoubtedly the most-talked
about teen on the planet”.
