Billie Eilish may be only 16, but her popularity and career has taken off over the past year.
I have not really listen to her as an artist, but I have been hearing her name a lot lately. It is very impressive what she has done with her talents. There are many people with fantastic voices, but it takes more than that to become a successful recording artist. There is definitely a lot of innovation and entrepreneurial thinking in music.
Billie Eilish is a great example of a young person who was successful in the music industry due to their entrepreneurial way of thinking. When her first song received the popularity it did, her decision to pursue her music career as far as she did was probably not an easy one to make.
When I see young teens become very successful I wonder what they have that I don’t. I realize they have a drive that every entrepreneur has, one that wont stop them, and they have passion in what they are offering. This young entrepreneur is definitely someone who I should pay close attention to.
