dont smile at me Billie Eilish is a 17-year old girl from Los Angeles, California. She was born and raised into a family of musicians and it shows. Her eldest brother, Finneas O’Connell, was the biggest influencer Billie had growing up. Finneas actually had his own band and wrote the song titled ‘Ocean Eyes’. Billie started gaining recognition after she performed “Ocean eyes” and released it online. After successfully releasing the record “Bellyache”, which Finneas helped record, she released her debut EP, “dont smile at me” lowercase, no apostrophe, in August 2017. She was only 15-years-old. Billie’s parents are Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell. Her father played the piano and the ukulele, her mother wrote songs which all inspired Billie to make a career in music. At the age of 8-years-old she joined a choir and sang with them for three years. At 11 she started writing and composing her own songs. That’s all the history there is to it, she’s only 17. Don’t Smile at me was released through Interscope Records. Billie signed with Interscope records shortly after her internet breakthrough and has been releasing singles ever since then. Billie performed lived around North America and her performances included a band. Her dark lyricism and beautiful voice compliments cohesively. The values she presents is honesty, wearing your heart on your sleeves, and words are so powerful. In this EP there is a plethora of storytelling, but the feelings the words inflict on you are truly amazing. Her lyrics include words that are hard for people to say, this is where honesty comes in. In her song “Hostage”, Billie talks about the love for her lover. She represents herself as this obsessive character that wants to keep this special someone to herself. One of my favorite songs on this project is “Idontwannabeyouanymore”. In this Billie is addressing her lack of self-confidence and self-deprecating emotions. The audience of her EP can literally be anyone. I’ve seen live performances where she brings tiny children on stage and sang to them. Her artistry is far from childish considering her age, which makes it so easy to relate to her music. Although you can view this project as dark and cynical, it can also be viewed as peaceful and lovely. It’ll be very hard for me to sit here and gear her audience towards a specific age group. I can’t. She is a new voice to this generation but, can also teach something to the older generations, and be an inspiration to the upcoming ones. Her very own brother, Finneas O’Connell’, is the producer of “don’t smile at me”. He played a significant role in Billie’s entire career. She wrote the songs with him and he produces her music. The publishing company of her EP is UMPG. .

Zlobivá ZRODILA SE HVĚZDA Billie se narodila 18. prosince 2001 v Los Angeles v Kalifornii rodičům Maggie Baird a Patricku O’Connellovi. hvězda popu Že se v jejím případě nejednalo o zcela běžné rodiče, napoví, když se detailněji podíváte na její celé jméno: Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell Kolik znáte lidí se jménem Pirate? Eilish je galskoirská odvozenina Elizabeth a Baird příjmení její matky. Ze jména Billie je jasné, že její rodiče jsou hodně kreativní lidé, což je nepochybně pravda, neboť oba jsou profesionálními umělci. Matka Billie, Maggie Baird, je zpěvačka, skladatelka, scénáristka a herečka. Nejvýrazněji na sebe upozornila svou rolí ve fi lmuLife Inside Out, na kterém se autorsky spolupodílela a zazářila v něm jako herečka, a také svým hlasem v Mass Effect 2. A samozřejmě tím, že je matkou Billie. Patrick O’Connell, otec Billie, hrál ve fi lmech jako Iron Man a Supergirl stejně jako v seriálu The West Wing. Je talentovaným hudebníkem, hraje na řadu nástrojů včetně ukulele, ale i zde platí, že nejznámější bude svou rolí otce Billie. „S tátou jsme si hodně, hodně podobní.“ — Billie Eilish o svém otci 1313 A101C0N13718_Billie Eilish-sazba_CZ.indd 13 18.10.2019 15:02:54 „Miluji, jak bere svět kolem sebe.

Rostoucí Billie naštěstí brzy našla zalíbení ve vystupování stejně jako její rodiče a starší bratr Finneas. Uf! Malý hlásek „Nikdy jsem doopravdy nezačala zpívat, vždycky jsem si jen prozpěvovala nebo dělala randál, křičela, vždycky jsem poslouchala hudbu, takže mě nikdy nenapadlo se nad ní zamýšlet jako ‚možná bych se měla věnovat hudbě‘, protože jsem to všechno už dávno dělala.“ — Billie Eilish Billie ohromila svět svým hlasem v singlu Ocean Eyes v roce 2015.

How Billie Eilish Negotiates Gender, Power
Contradictions of the Body: How Billie Eilish Negotiates Gender, Power and Embodiment as a Teenage Pop Icon Emma Walker Advised by Farha Ghannam Sociology and Anthropology Department of Swarthmore College May 11th, 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to extend deep thanks to Professor Farha Ghannam for her invaluable guidance, patience and unwavering support throughout the thesis process, Professor Christopher Fraga for his enthusiasm and insight into subculture and the music industry, and Professor BuYun Chen for a great course on fashion theory which expanded how I think about clothing and the dressed body. I would also like to thank my mother for her constant support and phone calls and give special thanks to my friend Hannah and her family for opening up their home to me during the COVID-19 pandemic and creating a supportive space for me to complete my thesis. Abstract Billie Eilish is creating a new image for women’s embodiment. The aim of this thesis is to understand how Eilish’s competing desires and the social factors which influence them impact the choices she makes as it relates her embodiment. I explore how Eilish’s image can be seen as a navigation of power, one which simultaneously reproduces and resists normative ideals for female embodiment. I also analyze how this negotiation of power is entrenched in capitalist logic, as factors of marketability and consumerism impact her relationship to her “branded” body.
