It's a little weird that they write it as "Billie Eilish's brother Finneas". Isn't he a fairly well-known musician on his own?

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but not at the same level for the average person that doesn't pay attention. Billie Eilish's name will get more people to look. That's what headlines do.

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

To confirm as someone far outside their demographic: I had never heard his music or his name until now. To be fair, I haven't listened to her music either, but I've obviously seen the name in other headlines.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago

I didn't know he was her brother, but man do I not care

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don’t know him as a musician. I thought he was a producer?

[–] catharso@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

afaik he wrote and produced all her songs. she "just" sings over them.

[–] Steve@communick.news 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

She writes the lyrics.
He makes the music, with her input.

All producers are musicians.
Not all musicians are producers.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Sorry I used producer because I don’t know of any releases under him. It could also be that I don’t know any of his aliases

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

Not nearly as much as Billie, no.

[–] MorukDilemma@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

This usually only happens to women. True feminist moment.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 days ago

They're the bad guy... Duh.

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

As a musician, I'm thrilled. Fuck you, uncle Sam. Your voice doesn't hold a candle to what we have to say. We will turn your children against you. Eat a dick.

Goofy looking vibes in the eilish family but not so weird I'd use tear gas, personally.
