Billie Eilish On The Rise
By: Hannah March
Nothing like today, Billie first performed in front of a small crowd of just 50 people at a small park located in Isla Vista, California. The makeshift stage was made just in front of the small communities community center. With a small booth located in the back selling an assortment of merchandise, including hoodies and long sleeve tees. The small show ended up selling out and within the next 6 months her shows were tripling and selling out within hours of the posting. She then began performing in places such as Santa Barbara, LA and San Francisco at some of the worlds largest theaters. In February 2018, Billie began her "Where's My Mind?" tour. This nationally known tour was a huge hit for her. This exact same year she then met with singer Khalid '' to release the hit single "lovely". This song was also huge for her as Khalid was already nationally known and loved. The same song was featured in the hit show "13 reasons why" which was also blowing up around this time frame. Billie also released some other singles that were very successful this year such as; you "should see me in a crown" and "when the parties over". As if the song itself wasn't already incredible she released music videos with the songs that did a perfect job of portraying her unique and edgy image. She, unlike many artists, had a completely different vibe to all of her music videos that was and still is overflowing with views.
It is fun to see how quickly her success began and how much her audience grew. She is incredibly successful at such a young age and it blows my mind sometimes to think she is currently only 18.
