From a young age, was on a creative path. She was born Billie Eilish Pirate (yes, really) Baird O'Connell in Los Angeles, California in 2001 to two actor parents. According to AmoMama, the Baird-O'Connell home was often cluttered with musical instruments and photographs. Her mother, Maggie Baird, is known for her roles on "The X-Files" and "6 Feet Under," while her father, Patrick O'Connell, is easily recognizable from his role on "The West Wing," (via Distractify).
Eilish's parents opted for homeschooling for Eilish and her older brother, Finneas, leaving the budding star with ample time to develop her craft. At the young age of eight, Eilish honed her vocal talents as a member of the Los Angeles Children's Choir, (via All Music). At age 14, Finneas helped Eilish write and produce the song that jumpstarted her musical success. In their household, creativity and careers in the music world were encouraged.
