Bambie Thug

Bambie Ray Robinson, known by their stage name Bambie Thug, is an Irish singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Macroom, County Cork, Ireland, Robinson initially trained to become a ballet performer, moving to London to train as a dancer. However, midway through their university studies, Robinson broke their arm. As a result, Robinson switched to studying musical theatre, which later led to their musical career. Robinson claims to mix numerous genres in their music, coining the term, "ouija-pop", out of disdain for being put into one genre. Robinson's music has been inspired by various subjects, including breakups, witchcraft, and drug addiction. Robinson represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 after winning the Irish national final Eurosong 2024 with "Doomsday Blue". Following their victory in Eurosong 2024, both the song and Robinson have gained widespread media coverage, especially within local Irish media, drawing praise and criticism from various Irish personalities and groups.
