Billie Eilish's Secret Talent: Producing Music Like a Pro

Ah, the enchanting world of sibling rivalries and alliances, where the bond between Finneas and Billie Eilish is as thick as the air in a soundproof recording studio. They’ll always be siblings, of course, but perhaps one day the soundtrack of their lives might shift to a solo act. During a recent tête-à-tête with Guitar.com—the kind of chit-chat that makes us all wish we were in the room—Finneas spilled some intriguing beans about how he’s loosening the apron strings when it comes to guiding his talented sister through the labyrinth of music production.

“I’ve been setting up Billie’s recording studio for her,” he cheerfully proclaimed, as if it were just another Tuesday afternoon, “so she can do home production without me because, let’s be honest, she’s really good at it!” One can almost picture him in a DIY apron, assembling the perfect workspace for his little sister. But astonishingly, he’s been doling out only the bare minimum of gear. Yes, it seems the prodigy needs to earn her production stripes the hard way, and he’s in on the joke. “And it’s funny,” Finneas adds with a wry smile, “I’ve been giving her the bare minimum just so that she learns it all.” Poor Billie—she may end up cursing his name while sorting through the cords and manuals.

Finneas reflects on his early days of production with an almost sentimental nostalgia. “I could give you all the stuff that I use now,” he recalls, “but it took me years to even have a use for it.” Ah, wisdom from years of pressing buttons and crossing wires! “If I give you this basic thing, it’ll make sense to you right away,” he quips, channeling his inner sage amidst the chaos of sibling creativity.

Since the launch of Billie’s debut album, *When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?*, in 2019, the duo has absolutely ruled the airwaves. They kept the momentum alive with the 2021 jewel, *Happier Than Ever*, and even have another collaboration set to dazzle us in 2024 titled, *Hit Me Hard and Soft*. And let’s not forget about Finneas himself; he’s been busy carving out his own musical niche with albums like *Blood Harmony* and *Optimist*. Talk about multitasking!

All of this creative fervor has caught the eye of the glitterati, with Finneas—only 27—amassing two Oscars and nine Grammys. It appears that sibling success seems to breed more sibling success, and with Eilish’s *Hit Me Hard and Soft* just landing, one can only wonder: how many awards are in their future? Finneas and Billie may share blood, but they certainly know how to churn out a golden tune or two. Grab your popcorn, folks; this sister-brother saga is just getting started.
