Early Life & Education

Bambie Ray Robinson was born on March 6, 1993, in Macroom, a small town in County Cork, Ireland.

They grew up in a creative family with an Irish mother, who stayed home and was their “biggest champion,” and a Swedish father from Stockholm, who crafted metal parts and had no musical talent.

Bambie has three sisters, and together they created music videos and performed at home, sparking Bambie’s love for performing.

Their ethnicity is a mix of Irish and Swedish, and their religion is not publicly shared, as it is kept private. Diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, Bambie faced challenges but found freedom in music and imagination.

Bambie attended St Mary’s Secondary School in Macroom, where they were an active member of the school choir, helping win an All-Ireland Schools Choir competition.

They later studied at Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa in Cork before moving to London in 2014 on a partial dance scholarship to train as a ballerina at the Urdang Academy.

Career

Bambie Thug’s career began in London, where they relocated in 2014 to pursue dance but discovered their true calling in music.

They started as a songwriter, amassing 50 million streams for artists like Cassyette, KID BRUNSWICK, and FabiCH, with their instrumentals featured in HBO’s Sex and the City reboot. In 2021, Bambie debuted their solo single “Birthday,” followed by their first EP, Psilocyber.

Their 2021 EP, High Romancy, featuring tracks like “P.M.P” and “NECROMANCY,” showcased their “ouija-pop” style—comprising hyperpunk, electro-pop, and trap.

In 2023, they released Cathexis, inspired by musical theatre and their struggles with mental health and heartbreak, featuring singles “Careless” and “Last Summer (I Know What You Did).”

Bambie performed at festivals such as Download Festival and The Great Escape in 2023, as well as at BBC Maida Vale Studios in 2022.

Their big break came in January 2024, when they won Ireland’s Eurosong with “Doomsday Blue,” earning the chance to represent Ireland at Eurovision 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.

Their dramatic performance, featuring witchcraft-inspired staging and a trans pride bodysuit, placed sixth, Ireland’s best result since 2000.

The song sparked debate, with some Irish critics, like Hermann Kelly, claiming it mocked national culture, while Eurovision legends Johnny Logan and Linda Martin praised its uniqueness.

Bambie also faced controversy for the Ogham script makeup spelling “Freedom for Palestine,” which Eurovision ordered changed.

They defended their pro-Palestine stance, emphasizing solidarity without boycotting the contest. Bambie’s music and bold persona continue to break stereotypes, making them a voice for the LGBTQ+ community.
