Her unique sound, which is a fusion of various genres including pop, hip hop, and R&B, along with her distinctive vocal style, has earned her a massive following among music fans and critics alike.
Billie's stage name is derived from a combination of her first name and that of her older brother Finneas O'Connell, who is also a musician and producer. The "Pirate Baird" part of her name is a nod to her family's Irish heritage and a reference to her playful personality.

Her lyrics are raw and honest, and her vocal delivery is both powerful and vulnerable. Her music videos, which she collaborates on with her brother, are known for their creative and often surreal visuals.
Billie first gained widespread attention in 2016 with the release of her debut single "Ocean Eyes," which was produced by Finneas. The song quickly went viral on social media, and Billie began touring and performing live. In 2017, she released her debut EP, "Don't Smile at Me," which included the hit singles "Bellyache" and "Watch."
In 2019, Billie released her debut full-length album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and broke numerous streaming records. It included the massive hits "Bad Guy," "Bury a Friend," and "All the Good Girls Go to Hell."
Billie's success has earned her numerous accolades, including five Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and a BRIT Award.
