History
Bambee was born in the Solomon Islands to a Grenadian mother and a Norwegian father. She used the name Bambee as a reference to her eyes, comparable to those of a deer. Originally, she considered using the name Bambi, but she changed the spelling to avoid copyright issues with Disney.[3]
Bambee's debut album, On Ice, was released in December 1999 in Japan and then in Norway in April 2000,[2] where it peaked at No. 33 on the VG-lista chart. Her second album, Fairytales, was released in June 2001. In 2002, a third album was in the works for Bambee, but for unknown reasons, the album was shelved.
In January 2024, a German company called Modern Entertainment acquired the digital rights to her music, and released a sped up version of her song "Bumble Bee" after it had grown in popularity on TikTok.
Bambee was not active until June 2025 when she announced on her Instagram that she would be making new music,[4] possibly due to the aforementioned comeback of her song "Bumble Bee". However, as of February 2026, she has not yet announced a new album. On the 6th of March, her song she recorded in 2025, called "Bambeeland", was released, making it her first song to be released after 24 years.
