BILLIE EILISH'S CAREER

Billie Eilish started composing and singing her songs at age 11. Initially, she also tried to venture into acting, but not being interested in acting, she gave up and devoted herself exclusively to music.

At 11 years old, Billie Eilish wrote her first song: "Fingers Crossed," published on SoundCloud. In 2012, the singer-songwriter removed the single from the platform because it was bad, in her opinion.

The album, written in her parent's house as seen in her documentary, "The World's a Little Blurry," was so successful that she became the first artist born in the 2000s and the youngest woman ever to have a number one album in the United States.

The documentary focuses on her life so far, the challenges she has faced, boy problems, excitements and tears as she meets Justin Bieber for the first time, and more.
