Desirée Sparre-Enger (born June 25, 1976),[1] mostly known by her stage name Bambee, is a Norwegian Eurodance singer from Nordstrand, Oslo.[2] She 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 changed the spelling to avoid copyright issues.[3] Several of her more popular songs, including "Cowgirl", "Seventeen" and "Bumble Bee", have appeared on the Dance Dance Revolution and In the Groove game series.

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, possibly due to the decline of sales in the bubblegum dance market, 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 in June of 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.
