Who is Billie Eilish?
The Grammy-winning 'Bad Guy' singer has been dubbed 'The Outsider'
Breakout music sensation Billie Eilish won five Grammy awards, taking home the prize for the four biggest categories and leaving behind only one title for which her work was nominated.
The 18-year-old star, born and raised in Highland Park, California, is not new to the music scene, but has skyrocketed to fame with her 2019 album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”
And with her eccentric style and hush-toned music, Eilish, who was dubbed "The Outsider" by Vogue, has transformed the music scene.
“This whole time I’ve been getting this one sentence,” Eilish told Vogue, “like, I’m a rule-breaker. Or I’m anti-pop, or whatever. I’m flattered that people think that, but it’s like, where, though? What rule did I break? The rule about making classic pop music and dressing like a girly girl? I never said I’m not going to do that. I just didn’t do it.”
