Who is Billie Eilish, the edgy pop radical rewriting the rules of stardom and winning Grammys at 18 years old?
- At 13, Eilish dropped her debut single on SoundCloud. Today, she is a Grammy award winner with an upcoming world tour
- The teen singer has spoken openly about her mental health struggles and champions fellow female artists as peers, not rivals
The embodiment of cool with haunting, gravelly vocals and original punk-rock style, Billie Eilish has redefined the contemporary pop star on her blistering path to stardom.
The 18-year-old’s phenomenal ascent saw Eilish named Billboard’s 2019 woman of the year – and for good reason.
Within a matter of months, she dropped a No 1 album entitled “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, led the hot songs chart with her single Bad Guy, played a set on a prime stage at the Coachella music festival in California, and has announced a world tour that calls past Hong Kong on August 30.
The biggest musician of global renown to emerge from Generation Z, the candid Eilish draws young fans with a personal social media presence and internet-speak fluency. And with a fashion sense as unique as her sound, Eilish is the kind of female star who refuses to be sexualised.
