Finneas Set Up Home Studio For Billie Eilish So She Can Produce Her Own Music: ‘She’s Very Good At It’
Billie Eilish and Finneas have been a package deal since day one. The siblings’ musical kismet has worked out pretty well so far, netting them billions of streams, two Oscars and Golden Globes, nine Grammy Awards and three Billboard Music Awards, among many others.
But there comes a time in every artist’s career when they are ready to branch out on their own, and according to Finneas that time is now for his sister. Speaking to Guitar.com, Finneas, 27, said he’s been busy building out Billie’s home studio, and by the sound of it he’s pretty confident she’ll make good use of it.

“I’ve been setting up Billie’s recording studio for her so she can do home production without me, because she’s very good at it!,” Finneas said of Eilish, 22. “And it’s funny, I’ve been giving her, like, the bare minimum of stuff, just so that she learns it all. Y’know what I mean? I’m like ‘Listen, I could give you all the stuff that I use now, but it took me years to even have a use for it. And, if I give you this basic thing, it’ll make sense to you right away.’”
To date, Finneas has produced all three of Billie’s album, from her breakthrough 2019 debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? — which featured such beloved tracks as “You Should See Me In a Crown,” “When the Party’s Over” and “Bad Guy” — as well 2021’s Happier Than Ever and this year’s Hit Me Hard and Soft. In between, Finneas has also released two solo albums, 2021’s Optimist and this year’s For Cryin’ Out Loud and the 2019 EP Blood Harmony.
Before she can get into that studio, though, Eilish will hit the road for her 2024-2025 Hit Me Hard and Soft The Tour, which kicks off on Sunday (Sept. 29) with a sold out show at the Centre Videotron in Quebec.
