Билли Эйлиш или Айлиш — как правильно?
Как всегда случается, после выхода хитового трека, фан-база музыкантов резко увеличивается, и к числу давних поклонников примыкают десятки тысяч новичков, услышавших одну-две песни и раздражающих «старую гвардию» примитивными, однообразными вопросами о своих новых кумирах.
С Billie Eilish случилось то же самое. Ее песни моментально становятся хитами, они мелькают и на телевизоре и в чартах популярных радиостанций и не могут не привлечь к себе внимание даже людей далеких от современной музыкальной культуры.
С чего же следует начать знакомство с Billie Eilish? Вовсе не с изучения ее дискографии или этапов творчества… Прежде всего стоит обратить внимание на правильное произношение (и написание на русском) ее имени.
Разночтений тут нет! Девушку зовут Билли Айлиш. Так и только так! На ютубе можно найти сотни интервью с Билли, где интервьюер называет ее по имени и среди них ни одного «Эйлиш».
Надо сказать, эта проблема с именем имеет место не только у русскоязычных поклонников. И сама Билли борется с ней как может. В частности, в своих аккаунтах в соцсетях она дает подсказку, как правильно к ней обращаться. Раньше она представлялась, как
Billie Eye-lish
Что для англо-говорящего человека однозначно звучит как Айлиш, но видимо, и этого оказалось не достаточно, потому что позже она поменяла «подсказку» и сейчас представляется как
Billie i-lish
Именно это написано в ее официальном инстаграм аккаунте: 
Давайте будем уважать артистов и, по-возможности, перестанем коверкать их имена! Этим мы покажем им свое внимание и уважение. Нам же не трудно, правда?
Мне будет очень приятно, если ты поделишься этой статьей с друзьями ?

Billie Eilish’s Biography
Childhood and youth
Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell was born on the 18th of December 2001 in Los Angeles. Her parents – actress, musician and screenwriter Maggie Baird and American actor Patrick O’Connell (The West Wing, Supergirl)
Billie’s parents’ home is located in Highland Park. Highland Park has just become popular, but when I was growing up, it was completely different, – says Billie. I grew up in Highland Park when it was very sketchy and there were lots of gunshots. It was fine, it wasn’t horrible and miserable, and I wasn’t scared for my life.
Eilish was inspired by a variety of genres – she enjoyed the music by American rap-performer TierraWhack, indie-band The Strokes, and the British rockers the Arctic Monkeys. Among Billie’s favorites are the legendary Beatles and Avril Lavigne.
Among her other hobbies, Billie also enjoys dancing. However, in January 2016 the girl hot an injury that would forever prevent her from starting a dancing career.
Musical Career
Gradually, the song became viral, and more and more people were learning about it. Soon Ocean Eyes featured in the drama Everything, Everything (2016), and the TV-show Running Man (Season 1, Episode 9), which became a total breakthrough for the young prodigy. Two other tracks of hers, Fingers Crossed and Six Feet Under, became soundtracks to several episodes of Pretty Little Liars (Season 7).
Riding the wave of Ocean Eyes and its remixes’ success, Eilish released her new singled Bellyache on the 24th of February 2017, which she presented at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Then they filmed a vivid music video to accompany the song: the production was handled by Miles and AJ, famous for their partnerships with Yoshi Flower, Jaden Smith, Max Frost, and others.
In February 2018 Eilish set off on her first tour Where’s My Mind, which lasted almost 3 months, and then surprised her fans with several new songs. The success of the young singer does not go unnoticed even among famous musicians.
Her resume shines with collaborations with such artists as soul-performer Khalid and hip-hop star Vince Staples. Apart from that, the young woman had the luck to appear as a warm-up singer for the legendary British rock band Florence and the Machine.

Творчество
«Ocean Eyes» является первым треком, который был записан нашей героиней в 2015 году.
Необходимо отметить, что изначально композиция писалась для группы брата, но, в итоге, в 2016 году была загружена на аудио-сервис «SoundCloud» от имени Билли. Видеоклип был снят спустя пару недель после выхода дебютной композиции.

В том же 2016-ом девушка представляет общественности еще один сингл под названием «Six Feet Under». А через год выходит сборник, который состоит из 4 вариаций песни «Ocean Eyes».
Трек «Bellyache» был презентован в феврале 2017 года. Он был записан совместно с братом Айлиш – Финнеасом. Через месяц, в поддержку композиции, выходит экранизация творения, которая за год набрала более 50 миллионов просмотров.

В августе того же года на лейбле «Interscope» Билли выпускает EP «Don’t Smile At Me». 8 треков, выполненные согласно требованиям моды, и в то же время, отличающиеся некой самобытностью, не смогли оставить равнодушным толпы меломанов. Все песни воспринимаются легко и каждый из слушателей может найти для себя то, что ему будет близко.
Многие сравнивают манеру исполнения песен Billie Eilish с Tyler, the Creator и SZA. Девчонка поет в стиле дарк-поп, а за счет глубины и нежности ее голоса, вокал обретает индивидуальные особенности, которые по достоинству оценивают слушатели.
Апрель 2018 года ознаменовался представлением нового совместного трека «Lovely» с Khalid, который был использован в качестве саундтрека для второго сезона вышеупомянутого сериала («13 причин почему»).

Айлиш внимательна к своему внешнему виду. В одежде девушки, в основном, превалирует улично-мешковатый стиль, а среди ее любимых брендов замечены: Jordan, Nike, Adidas, Off-White. Однако, важно отметить то, что Билли не гонится за модой или брендами, она предпочитает носить то, что ей близко, в чем она чувствует себя комфортно и просто нравится.
Что касается украшений, то здесь предпочтения отданы ювелирной компании «Proclamation Jewerly».

Личная жизнь
Если говорить о личной жизни, то героиня нашей статьи не состоит в отношениях. В своих интервью она говорит, что на данном этапе это может ей мешать как в творческом плане, так и в личностном. Девушка попросту не готова к длительным отношениям с одним человеком, уделяя ему достаточно внимания.
Важное место в жизни девушки до сих пор занимает ее семья, ведь именно оттуда она черпает свое вдохновение и поддержку.
