Finneas O’Connell is the brother and co-songwriter of Billie Eilish. Although he has his own solo career, Finneas revealed that he prefers performing with Billie to performing solo.

Earlier this month, Finneas released his latest solo EP titled “Blood Harmony.” The EP has been a hit with critics and fans so far. Nonetheless, Finneas has revealed that he is far more comfortable when he is performing with his sister.

“My job is so easy with Billie,” he told Billboard. “I just get to play cool bass lines and play keys, and jam out with our incredible drummer Andrew. When I’m on stage right now, I’m the only person on stage, I don’t have a band or anything, so it’s just me and I’m sweating, and wearing a suit, and tripping over myself. It’s super nerve-wracking.”

He added: “I’ve also performed way more with Billie than on my own, so maybe in two years I’ll feel differently,” he added. “But today, I’ve already done my show today and I’m doing Billie’s in three hours. And I’m not nervous at all, I’m just excited.”

Blood Harmony is available for streaming now.
