Объяснение:

My favorite singer is Billie Eilish. She is a very young but world-famous American girl. It is difficult to define the genre of her songs. It is a mix of pop, electropop, alternative and trap.

Billie’s parents are actors. Her brother Finneas is a musician and songwriter. They often work on songs together. Billie was homeschooled. She took dance lessons and sang in a choir.

Eilish says that her family is very united and supportive. Nevertheless she also mentioned that she has to fight depression.

Horror films inspire Billie to create new compositions. She says she likes to imagine being one of the characters. I wonder what kind of personal experience is behind her songs.

The singer prefers baggy clothes. She is in a good shape, but she does not want to draw attention to her body.

Her career started when users of SoundCloud appreciated her single “Ocean Eyes”. She was only 15 years old by then! The single also became popular on other internet-platforms. Then record labels noticed her. And her first album was a great success.

So, no doubt, Billie Eilish is very talented. I am looking forward to new songs.
