Billie Eilish Chats With Her Brother About Her Debut EP & Tyler the Creator

  • 0:04 - 0:06
    Hi, I'm Finneas
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    and I'm going to interview
    my sister, Billie Eilish.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    I'm Billie Eilish.
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    (laughter)
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    So your EP's finally out.
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    How's that feel?
  • 0:14 - 0:18
    It's been a long, like, process,
    I feel like because-
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    Yeah.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    -we wrote a lot of the
    songs that are on it
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    actually like a year, or
    a year and a half ago.
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    It's just kind of
    taken forever to come
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    so now I'm satisfied
    it's actually here. Here we go.
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    Yeah, I feel like so much
    of your creative direction
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    and everything,
    to me has, like,
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    changed how I see the songs
    that we wrote together.
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    -You know what I mean?
    -Yeah.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    Oh yeah.
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    What were your biggest
    inspirations as far as visuals?
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    I kind of just
    came up with it
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    without thinking of
    anything else.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    I was like, "I wanna be
    in a yellow room on red ladder
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    "in red outfit, and
    a thousand chains,"
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    and so I did it,
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    and like, each song has
    a different picture,
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    which I think is really cool-
    which was not my idea.
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    What's it like making music
    in a really tiny bedroom
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    with your brother
    all the time?
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    (laughs) It's good.
    I like it.
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    Finneas is really good at
    writing music, you guys.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    Anyway, we go to sessions
    with people that, you know,
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    you don't know and
    it's like it's just so-
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    They're also not 15.
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    No, they're all like 80.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    But like it's a
    whole separate world
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    and it's whatever
    comes out of me and you,
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    I guess, just like is
    the realest, I think.
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    Speaking of other artists,
    who are some artists
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    you'd love to collaborate
    with, hang out with?
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Probably one of the main ones
    is Tyler, the Creator.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    Mhm.
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    I feel like he's such
    his own person.
  • 1:35 - 1:36
    Yeah for sure.
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    And like...
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    I don't know, he's so funny and
    he just does whatever he wants
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    which I think is rad and like-
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    I feel like you both say, like,
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    exactly what you want all
    the time- which I love.
  • 1:44 - 1:45
    I feel like he knows
    what he wants
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    and I always know
    what I want, so-
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    You're going on your first
    tour ever in October.
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    I'm going to places
    I've never been
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    and probably
    would never go.
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    And like, there's people there
    that know my music, and...
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    It's crazy.
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    I don't know.
    It's like...
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    What can fans expect
    from your tour?
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    Ooh.
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    What inspires you
    the most right now?
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    What do you think is like
    the most common theme?
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    A lot of people think
  • 2:14 - 2:15
    you have to go through something to write about it,
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    and that's so not true.
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    You can literally write
    about anything at all.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    I mean, I'm just really
    writing about what I feel,
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    or the way that
    I haven't felt before,
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    and I'm gonna,
    you know?
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    Totally.
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    What's next?
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    I got some more
    music coming out.
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    I got videos coming out.
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    Videos are gonna
    be so dope.
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    Some merch.
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    Some merch is happening.
  • 2:36 - 2:37
    -Some merch?
    -I'll be going on tour.
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    and like, I wanna have a
    clothing line at some point.
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    And I wanna, like,
    direct videos and,
  • 2:44 - 2:45
    I don't know, just like...
  • 2:45 - 2:46
    Buy Vine, re-launch it.
  • 2:48 - 2:49
    That's the goal.
  • 2:49 - 2:50
    I love Vine.
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    Oh my god, yeah.
  • 2:52 - 2:53
    Vine's coming back for sure.
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    Billie, it was great
    to meet you.
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    Shut up.
