Ivana Banfić (Croatian pronunciation: [ǐʋana bâːnfitɕ]; born 16 November 1969), formerly known as I Bee, is a Croatian dancer and pop singer. She became famous 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 songs were remembered for sexually provocative lyrics and elaborate choreography. Her well-known hit was "Šumica", a song about nude swimming.
