Inside the bedroom where the magic happens!
Billie Eilish's story is famous by now. In 2016, she recorded the song “Ocean
Eyes”, written by her brother Finneas, in his tiny bedroom studio. They uploaded it
to SoundCloud. They went viral. Two years later, Eilish has an entire album
recorded mostly while sitting on her sibling’s bed.

Now we can see where the magic happens. As part of a TV series, Finneas
recently gave a tour of the house in Los Angeles where he lives with his 17-year-
old sister, his parents, their dog and a cat. The house has just two bedrooms – their parents sleep
on a futon1 in the living room – but three pianos. Finneas and Eilish say they had plenty of time and
freedom throughout their childhood to be creative because they were homeschooled2.

Finneas recalls3 how he and his sister started making music around the house they grew up in. He
says that there’s a “crazy intimacy” to bedroom recording, and that the songs tend to be “really honest”
reflections of who he and Eilish are as people. We can even see a height growth chart4 on a wall in his
bedroom. Finneas shows the viewers his bedroom. In fact, it looks more like a music studio because it’s
where he and Eilish have all the music equipment. It’s where it all started!
