How did Billie Eilish become famous?
On December 18th, 2001, Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell was born. She was born in Los Angeles, California, to parents Maggie and Patrick.
As fate would have it, Eilish was born into quite a musical family, as her mother wrote songs while her father played the ukulele and the piano. Growing up, Eilish also got to witness her brother Finneas O'Connell (a singer, songwriter, actor, and producer) falling in love with music.
The young girl was home-schooled, and when she was eight years old, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir. She then wrote her first song when she was just 11 years old.

It was in 2015 when Billie's career really took off. In October that year, she recorded her debut song, Ocean Eyes. The song was written by her brother, Finneas, who meant for it to be used for his band.
Originally, Eilish had intended that the song be used for her dance classes. She gave the song to her dance teacher with the intention of having it featured in her dance routine.
In early 2016, Eilish uploaded the song to SoundCloud, where her career officially gained momentum. The video for the song was released in March 2016. In a short while, Ocean Eyes received more than 10 million hits on the music streaming platform, catapulting Eilish into fame.
Soon enough, record labels expressed their desire to buy the rights to the song. Ocean Eyes was eventually released worldwide by Darkroom and Interscope Records.
On August 12th, 2017, Eilish released her debut EP, Don't Smile at Me. The EP got to number 3 on the United States Alternative Chart, #7 in Norway, and #8 in Sweden. That same year, 2017, she released a live EP titled Up Next Session: Billie Eilish.
In 2018, she released the singles titled B*tches Broken Hearts and You Should See Me in a Crown.
She released her debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? on March 29th, 2019. This album got to #1 in Australia, Canada, UK, and the USA.

Billie Eilish events
If you thought that I was exaggerating when I said that Billie is an icon, then I think this new piece of information will blow your mind. As it stands, all tickets for Billie Eilish events set for March 9th all through April 17th are sold out.
Apart from her net worth, there are many other things that the star makes headlines for. At the moment, she is set to be the youngest artist to ever record the theme for a James Bond film.
As someone who has suffered depression, Tourette Syndrome, and synesthesia, Billie Eilish is definitely a role model for many. Inasmuch as Billie Eilish net worth is quite impressive, what endears her the most to people is her personality and the strength she embodies while dealing with the aforementioned mental health issues. If anyone deserves multiple Grammys, it is Eilish.
