Early Days Real name, Finneas Baird O'Connell, was born in Los Angeles. The son of American musicians and the elder brother of Billy Eilish. Music played a significant role within the O'Connell family household. Raised by humble parents, FINNEAS & Billy were home-schooled; he gained piano lessons from his father, and his mum taught him the art of songwriting. Green Day and Coldplay were his musical influences. In 2015, he formed a band called "The Slightlys," they attained a position on the traveling Warped Tour. With a younger sister who also sang, FINNEAS started producing music for her, and between the two, they began uploading songs to SoundCloud. "Ocean Eyes" was a track he wrote for his band; after hearing the words flow from his sister's mouth, he felt she fitted the single perfectly; within a matter of weeks, the song blew up. "Six Feet Under" was the next project he made for his sister.
