Billie Eilish has only been on the music scene for a few years, but it's hard to not be obsessed with her. She's seriously talented. Not only does she create straight bops, but her energy is on a completely different level. She's not like other pop stars and that's probably what makes her so relatable. The environment Billie grew up in probably had a hand in her artistic talent. Billie comes from a family of creators. Her brother, Finneas, is actually the person who wrote her breakout hit "Ocean Eyes." Whether they're with her on the road or helping her create music, Billie's family is still an important part of her life. If you don't know who they are, here's a little info on Billie's parents and sibling.
Who is Billie Eilish's mother?
Billie's mom, Maggie Baird, is actually an actress and singer. She first appeared as a supporting actor in the series "Another World" in 1981. Over the years, Maggie has ventured into a ton of different projects. In 2009, she released a country music album called "We Sail." But she's most know for her film, Life Inside Out, which she co-wrote, a movie inspired by her experiences performing at open-mic nights. Maggie is in the film herself, and her real-life son Finneas, plays Shane, one of her sons in the movie. Most of the movie's budget was raised through a kickstarter campaign.
Who is Billie Eilish's father?
Billie's dad, Patrick O'Connell, is also an actor. Patrick has made appearances in Iron Man, The West Wing, and Baskets. He also starred in his wife's film Life Inside Out. Patrick and Maggie decided to homeschool their children so that they too could explore their creative sides. "Homeschooling allows us to let them do the things that they really love to do and not have a giant academic schedule on top of it," Maggie once told YourTeen Mag of the decision.
Who is Billie Eilish's brother?
Billie Eilish is really close to her brother, Finneas. He's often on stage with Billie at most of her shows. Finneas is an actor, musician and producer. If you're a fan of Glee, you might have caught him on the series in the role of Alistair. He's also made appearances in the show Modern Family.
Finneas also produces music and co-wrote and produced Billie's debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? He also has producing and writing credits on songs from other artists, like Rebecca Black. Finneas also makes music of his own. In 2016, he released his first single, "New Girl" and in 2019, headlined two shows in LA and New York.
