About the Author

Billie Eilish has become one of the biggest stars to emerge since the release of her debut single “ocean eyes” in 2015 and continues to shatter the ceiling of music with her genre-defying sound. Fast forward from her humble breakout to 2019 when Billie’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S as well as 17 additional countries around the world upon release, and was the most streamed album of the year.

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was written, produced and recorded entirely by Billie Eilish and brother Finneas in their childhood home in Los Angeles. Billie Eilish went on to make history as the youngest artist to receive nominations and win in all the major categories, at the 62nd Grammy Awards, receiving an award for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Billie Eilish is also the youngest artist to write and record an official James Bond theme song, “No Time To Die.”

From the Publisher

At 19, singer-songwriter Eilish has already achieved monumental success—she's the second person in history (and the youngest) to win the four main Grammy awards, she's already worth $30 million, and she just released a movie concert experience with Disney. With this collection of 19 years' worth of pictures, she shares her passion for photography and its ability to capture the most intimate moments. Taken by Eilish, as well as by family members, friends, and professional photographers, the images chronicle the artist's childhood (including her Justin Bieber posters and her dancing and aerial arts classes) and her career: Eilish is shown signing her first record deal, performing at small music festivals and major venues, attending the Grammy Awards, directing her own videos, and singing on Saturday Night Live. Eilish lets the photos speak for themselves, and they offer a glimpse into the stress of being a teenage star; one photo is described as depicting "the worst mental state she was in," while others portray her leg injuries. She also shares photos of her dedicated fans and the many rescue puppies she often features at her shows. VERDICT Eilish's numerous fans will appreciate the star's vulnerability and desire to connect.—Lisa Henry, Kirkwood P.L., MO
