Billie Eilish and Finneas Can ‘Read Each Other’s Minds’

When it comes to sibling duos in the music industry, few are as in sync as Billie Eilish and her older brother, Finneas. The powerhouse pair behind some of the biggest hits of the past few years—like “bad guy,” “Happier Than Ever,” and “What Was I Made For?”—have always had a unique creative chemistry. But according to them, it goes even deeper than collaboration. They can practically read each other’s minds.

In interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, Billie and Finneas often talk about their almost telepathic connection when writing and producing music. “We just get each other,” Billie has said. “I don’t have to explain how I’m feeling—he already knows.” Finneas, who produces most of Billie’s music, agrees: “When we’re in the studio, there’s this unspoken flow. Sometimes I’ll play something, and Billie will start singing a melody that fits perfectly, like she already knew what I was thinking.”

Growing up in a creative household in Los Angeles, the two developed their musical bond early. Finneas began writing songs in his teens, and Billie joined in soon after. Their first big hit, “Ocean Eyes,” was written by Finneas and recorded in his bedroom studio when Billie was just 13. Since then, their partnership has only grown stronger—and their ability to anticipate each other’s ideas is part of what makes their sound so special.

Their synergy has earned them multiple Grammy Awards and global acclaim. But more importantly, it’s helped them stay grounded. “He’s my best friend,” Billie often says. “We’ve been through everything together, and there’s no one I trust more with my music.”

At a time when collaboration is key in pop music, Billie and Finneas prove that family ties—plus a bit of mind-reading—can create magic.
