Biography[edit]
According to BAMBII, she first began DJing whilst broke after having dropped out of school. She initially produced music using a laptop that was 'so broken and overheating that I had to carry around a baking dish, towel, and bag of ice to every club' she played in. She would place the ice under the laptop to get it to work long enough to play a full hour set. Bambii says that she did this for eight months until buying a new laptop.[6][unreliable source?]
She has described having 'terrible exes' and having thrown illegal raves with her friends whilst being targeted by the police. Later in her life after achieving success, she toured Europe and Asia.[6][unreliable source?]
BAMBII has described herself as having political views on gender, race, capitalism, and a 'child-like approach to nearly everything I do'.[6][unreliable source?]
