Billie Eilish says when she was only 13 major executives told her she would have a 'horrible career.'
And while pop culture fans knowfor her signature sound and hit songs like"bad guy" and"ocean eyes," the singer-songwriter is opening up about her rise in the music industry that had a few roadblocks., the 17-year-old recalls the early days of her career where not everyone wanted to be attached to her talents.
"I remember the first time I had any sort of meeting with a label or management, I was 13. I think the only people that didn't look at me like I was going to have a horrible career were the people that I ended up working with," she shared with the publication."Everyone was just like, ‘Oh, you're 13, yikes, you're going to be used,' and this and that. And I am like, ‘Yo, y'all are the people that would use me in the situation you are talking about.
"I think it's my best quality and my worst quality, how strong-willed I am, because it has brought me here. It literally has created who I am because I was just like, 'You know what? I am going to do this and that's that,' you know?" she explained."But then it's bad sometimes, too, because I shouldn't do s--t and I do it anyways. So I don't know.
"I would say this is proof yet again that it's not about one's age. Your answers have already illustrated that. And understanding that requires a lot of self-awareness," the"Happy" singer shared."To me, not only is it not about age—it's not about the flesh. It's about the spirit. And your spirit is definitely an older one."
