Ivana Banfić (Croatian pronunciation: [ǐʋana bâːnfitɕ]) (born November 16, 1969) is a Croatian dancer and pop singer. She became famous under the stage name I BEE in the 1990s during the period of popularity of dance music in Croatia.[1]
Banfić was born in Zagreb. She released her first album in 1991.[2] Her numbers were remembered for sexually provocative lyrics and elaborate choreography. Her well-known hit was Šumica, a song about nude swimming.
She also took part in a hugely successful duet with Bosnian vocalist Dino Merlin called "Godinama" in 2000, a song which achieved popularity throughout the former Yugoslavia. The song won a Porin Award for Hit of the Year in 2001.[3]
New studio album with dance/electronic music style will be released in 2011.[1][3]
