stage name Bambie Thug, is an Irish singer-songwriter. They are known to mix numerous genres in their music, coining their own 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 is the first openly non-binary artist to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest, doing so in 2024 with the song "Doomsday Blue" after winning the Irish national final, Eurosong 2024. At Eurovision, they finished in sixth place, becoming Ireland's highest scoring entry and scoring them its best placement in the contest since 2000.
Robinson was first credited in music in 2020 as a featured artist on the Fike and Fabich song "Mean", which was released on 26 June 2020. Robinson released their debut single, "Birthday", on 5 March 2021. The song, which was written while Robinson was addicted to drugs and its uncensored music video being released on pornography sites, was described by The Line of Best Fit writer Robert Davidson as a "stoic-but-smashed stream of consciousness... with their coaxing voice documenting the events around them like a debaucherous diary. They float through brawls, consume copious drugs, and wait impatiently for their tardy dealer". Robinson released three more singles later that year, including "Psilocyber", a song about a "psychedelic" computer virus, "P.M.P.", a song that promotes sexual positivity and Robinson's love of "pussy power", and "High Romancy". By 2022, Rockflesh writer Stewart Lucas described Robinson's music as "gritty and direct and seem to either be about sex and drugs or drugs and sex".
Robinson started dating a partner by the Christmas season of 2021. However, the relationship that Robinson described as "really toxic", ended in 2022, leading to a broken sense of "trust and sense of self" for Robinson. Robinson later released "Merry Christmas Baby" on 9 December 2022, stating in Kerrang!, "It's funny how people change like seasons, last Christmas I swore I had found the one. Love really has a way of colouring red flags white."
In April 2023, Robinson released their first single of that year, "Egregore". The song, named after an occult term, is stated to be about Robinson's desire to break self-destructive habits as an independent artist.
Robinson announced their third EP, Cathexis, on 11 August 2023, with the EP officially releasing on 13 October. Along with the announcement, they released two singles, "Careless" and "Last Summer (I Know What You Did)". In an interview with DIY Magazine, they stated that the EP, influenced by their love of musical theatre, focuses on them "being creatures and characters... [however,] sometimes characters are a bit of an armour. When I'm not in an amazing mental space, they're things I can pull on, but they're all still facets of me."
On 11 January 2024, Robinson was announced as a competitor in Eurosong 2024, Ireland's national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, with their song "Doomsday Blue". According to an interview by the Irish Sun, they entered to "curse out" memories of them being raped in May 2023, around three weeks before a gig at their debut performance at a festival. At the national final, Robinson won both the national jury voting and the televote, earning the right to represent Ireland. Denise O'Donoghue of the Irish Examiner noted the performer's popularity on social media and in the Late Late Show studio, where the audience called for voters to "send the witch".
At Eurovision, Robinson participated in the first semi-final on 7 May 2024, successfully qualifying for the final along with nine other artists. In the final, which took place on 11 May, they finished sixth, becoming Ireland's highest scoring entry and scored them its best result in the contest since 2000.
Robinson has used the term "ouija-pop" to describe their music. In a 2023 interview, they stated "my stuff is hyperpunk avant electro-pop. We call it grit pop or rot but recently I've been coining the term 'ouija pop'". They stated that they coined the term due to a reluctance of being "put in a box", instead combining numerous genres, with Robinson "never having anything in mind" whenever making music. One of Robinson's major influences musically is a reluctance to be stuck to a style or genre; in an interview with NME, Robinson claimed that they could do "everything" creatively, stating their belief that the heavy metal music community had expanded to include more genres and be more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. However, they also stated that the heavy metal community was "under attack", with Robinson considering themselves a "rebel". They have been linked with the "nu gen" movement alongside acts like Poppy, Dana Dentata and Cassyette (Bambie collaborated with the latter on the track Doomsday Blue).
Robinson has stated an emphasis on trying to be "good role models" with music, stating a belief that many within the industry "glamourise" drug addiction. They stated in an interview with Gay Times that "We need to parade healthy behaviour. It's important if we are going to be breaking so that younger kids and teens listening to our music, and looking up to us, aren't fed this negative behaviour."
In interviews, Robinson has stated that their favourite artists were Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, Nina Simone, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Led Zeppelin.
