Mini bio
How it started.
Billie grew up in Los Angeles, was homeschooled, and sang in the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus. Her mother taught a songwriting class that helped Billie and her brother FINNEAS learn the basics. In November 2015, they uploaded “ocean eyes” to SoundCloud so her dance teacher could use it for choreography. Billie was 13, and the song began reaching listeners far beyond their circle.
From home recordings to a debut album.
The dont smile at me EP followed in 2017. Working closely with FINNEAS, Billie built songs around quiet vocals, unusual textures and direct feelings. Her 2019 debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, included “bad guy.” At the 2020 Grammys, she won Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist.
A growing body of work.
Happier Than Ever arrived in 2021, followed by HIT ME HARD AND SOFT in 2024, both made with FINNEAS. Their songwriting also moved into film: “No Time to Die” and Barbie’s “What Was I Made For?” each won an Oscar for Original Song. Billie has taken on directing too, including the “What Was I Made For?” video and her 2026 concert film with James Cameron.
Beyond the songs.
Billie has worked with REVERB and Support+Feed to connect her tours with climate action and food access. The HIT ME HARD AND SOFT tour’s impact report records $13.3 million raised for climate action and community organizations through its fundraising programs.
