7.Billie Used To Sing In Choir
We used to think that she must have had a decade of vocal training in order to be able to sing the way she does. However, it seems like the opposite is true. Seventeen describes her time singing in children’s choirs as being the most influential thing for her voice. That’s where she learned her skills, which accentuate her natural gifts.

8.She’s Always Hated Being Judged
One of the big things that she dislikes is judgement. Though, to be honest, she doesn’t come across like she’s scared of it. It’s the opposite, actually! Eilish is so undeniably herself. From her fun fur pants to her lime green hair roots, she’s always doing something creative and new. And we all know that being unapologetically ourselves is the best way to say “heck no” to judgement.
9.She’s Been Writing Music Since Age 11
This might seem super young, but let’s keep in mind the fact that she started to launch into superstar status when she was 15; that’s like 4 years after she began writing music! Seventeen tells us that she started writing music because of her brother, whom she definitely looked up to. Now they write together!
