Biography:
Not to be confused with the children's music artists of the same name, the
Bumblebeez (known in the U.S. as Bumblebeez 81) hail from Braidwood, a
small town in Australia's New South Wales territory, and craft a cut'n'paste
collision of noisy hip-hop and rock. Producer/singer/multi-instrumentalist
Chris Colonna is the architect of the Bumblebeez's raw sound, although
his sister Pia (aka Queen ViLa) often contributes raps and backing vocals
and his best friend Surya plays bass and guitar. Colonna began making music
when he was 13, but chose to study art; in his last year of art school,
he won a scholarship to attend New York's Pratt Institute. While in Brooklyn,
he immersed himself in his three passions: art, tennis (he played on NYU's
tennis team), and music.
