Billie Eilish is a young talented American singer and songwriter, who came into limelight in 2015 after uploading her song titled “Ocean Eyes” on sound cloud, Eilish was born December 18, 2001, and she spent her formative year in Los Angeles.
Just like the way most kids take after what they see their parents do, the passion Eilish has for music grew beyond the level of mediocrity since her parents were both musicians. It may also interest you to know that, Eilish and her brother Finneas were homeschooled, her quest for good music made her join a choir at the age of 8. Similarly, the presence of musically inclined minds around her- mother, father, and brother made it possible for her to write her first real song when she was 11.
According to Funfactoday Billie professionally started her music career signing a deal with Apple Music Artists and Repertoire Company platoon after the track “Ocean Eyes”, the song she originally recorded for her dance routine but ended up being favourably accepted in the public space with many media outlets playing the song.
One will always think that an amazing star with overwhelming love from fans and supporters will not crush on anyone, since she is always loved and cheered by fans, but contrary to this assertion Eilish spoke about her love for Justin Bieber while growing up. At one of Eilish’s interview she made it known that she loved Justin Bieber when she was smaller, here are few lines of what she said at the KROQ 106.7 Fm when she was asked for one person she could wait outside for just like her fans will do for her, “See here’s the thing – Justin Bieber – obviously. But anybody could say that, right? I feel like everybody had a Justin Bieber phase when they were like 12. When I say that it doesn’t sound as serious as it really was, and my mom is in the room and can literally vouch for it, which is that when I was like 12, I was not a fan of him. That was like my first love. That was the person I was in love with, in my head he was in love with me, it was like a relationship with a person, it wasn’t like a weird thing at the time, it was like a longing. I would cry all the time just because he didn’t know I existed.” From Eilish’s response one will be right to say that she is still very much in love with Justin.
