Along with her synesthesia, Billie has also informed her audience of her Tourettes. She's said they are mostly facial ticks, and before 2019 she had concealed it in interviews by delaying her ticks until the camera left her face. Since 2019, she has been very open about it and received overwhelming support.

A defining characteristic of Billie's is her approach to the themes of her music. She is open about her synesthesia, a condition that allows her to see and associate colors with sound. When she pairs them, these colors breathe a new life into her music. Her songs are also heavily influenced by her dreams and nightmares.
