As soon as she burst onto the scene with her 2015 single “Ocean Eyes”, it was clear that Billie Eilish is a force to be reckoned with. In the years since, she has established herself as a new kind of pop culture icon, taking the fashion and music industries by storm on her own terms.

Billie Eilish shared a video on IG stories to promote her collaboration with Fender. Talking about the instrument she said, "First lesson I learned, It used to be where I could write everything ... because it's simple”.

“And I think the ukulele brings a different feeling to every single ... it inspires a different kind of writing. I feel like different instruments always make me write differently", she further added. Billie Eilish also revealed that she knew how to play 20 songs after learning just three chords.

In the video, she can be seen playing the ukulele and humming, while she sat under a tree or on a bridge and similar natural scenic places.
