Show Notes
Billie Eilish was just 13 when she recorded the song Ocean Eyes in the bedroom of her home and her brother Finneas uploaded it to SoundCloud. Within weeks, hundreds of thousands had listened to it. That's how one haunting voice changed pop forever. Now, Cal's friend Phillip is a finalist for SoundCloud's Tomorrow's Breakthrough Artist Award. He's not the next Billie — he's the first Phillip. And his story will stop you cold and make you want to root for him.
