Billie Eilish has only been on the music scene for a few years, but it's hard to not be obsessed with her. She's seriously talented. Not only does she create straight bops, but her energy is on a completely different level. She's not like other pop stars and that's probably what makes her so relatable. The environment Billie grew up in probably had a hand in her artistic talent. Billie comes from a family of creators. Her brother, Finneas, is actually the person who wrote her breakout hit "Ocean Eyes." Whether they're with her on the road or helping her create music, Billie's family is still an important part of her life. If you don't know who they are, here's a little info on Billie's parents and sibling.

Who is Billie Eilish's father?

Billie's dad, Patrick O'Connell, is also an actor. Patrick has made appearances in Iron Man, The West Wing, and Baskets. He also starred in his wife's film Life Inside Out. Patrick and Maggie decided to homeschool their children so that they too could explore their creative sides. "Homeschooling allows us to let them do the things that they really love to do and not have a giant academic schedule on top of it," Maggie once told YourTeen Mag of the decision.
