Since her childhood Princess Bee expressed a true love for the arts. From a young age she began ballet and singing classes and was enthusiastic to fulfill her interests.
As a keen and talented artist she entered the painting exhibition "100 painters in via Margutta" in Rome, at the age of 8 she was the youngest participant. At the same age, she has also written her first poem “Butterflies”.
By 2001 Princess Bee had held exhibitions all over the world including Austria, Italy, UK, Jamaica and Argentina where the Borges Museum and the Commission Municipal de Cultura in San Fernando celebrated her work "5th March 2005" as one of the most interesting modern representations of Christ, which was enriched by her compelling and enlightening poem, one of which she writes for each painting.
Furthering her talents she studied acting and gained some good experience as an actress and she has featured in more than 30 video-commercials as the leading character, many of which were shown internationally.
Before obtaining a degree and doctorate in Law at La Sapienza of Rome she collaborated with numerous newspapers and weekly magazines writing articles regarding social integration, law, culture and art.
While completing a degree in Law she worked successfully in the Middle East as a model. She became the 'face' of Cartier, Dior, Eduard Rambaud and Clarins. She has also been the vocalist in some international dance-compilations and the cover girl for many magazines including: Layla, Zee, Al Jumila, Arabian Woman, Jumeira Beach, Time Out, Friday and Gulf News.
In 2003 she visited Dubai for vacation and she fell in love with the pearl of the Gulf, which strongly inspired her to create a special gift for the city: some years later the song “Dubai” was born.
As a musician her taste has been strongly influenced by her traveling, gaining inspiration and enthusiasm from many cultures and their traditions and from her major interests as social integration, law, culture and art.
In 2005 she lived in L.A where she collaborated to write some international songs. It was from this experience she had the desire to produce her first album, so started to work with a producer at Atlantic Records in L.A., however due to commitments in Europe she preferred to don’t continue there.
In 2006 she moved to Rome and has been fully committed to the albums creation together with Mario Parruccini and Tiziano Bernardini. Princess Bee is the first song writer to dedicate an International song of peace to the Middle East; in fact as Coordinator and delegate of many international political events, she gradually acquired the skills necessary to promote what truly motivates her; a hope for world peace.
She developed a musical project entitled “Angels” dedicated to the child victims of war and hope for peace between Palestine and Israel. This initiative also is granted by UNESCO, The Holy See, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Youth and the Medal of Value from the President of the Italian Republic. For this project she will use her image to directly support some pediatric hospitals around the world.
In June 2007 she opened the international conference “Voices of Arab Women” together with the Italian Ministers and a delegation of women students from Emirates.
Late 2007 she recorded in Rome the songs “Forgive Me”, “Dubai” and “Angels” which are part of the upcoming album.
In March 2008, along with Sarah Ferguson, Jane Fonda, Shaikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Dr. Hubertus Hoffman, she was a speaker in the Conference “Women as Global Leaders presenting The Intercultural Project and the songs Angels and Dubai.
FORGIVE ME
In 2003 Princess Bee entered a shop in New York where she found a prayer from the Dalai Lama; “A Precious Human Life”. The simple and determined words of the prayer affected her so, that some years later she wrote “Forgive Me”.
DUBAI
“I believe Dubai is a place where several lifestyles meet: one may be at an official meeting or at a conference and an hour later at the beach. This charming dynamic intrigued me. Dubai has no rooms for laziness. I dedicated the song to my dear friend Umm Sultan (the Mother of Sultan), a young strong mother with a special heart walking in the sun. Umm Sultan represents the city itself, oriented towards the future and symbolizes the local women of the country. Miss Eternity, an Emirates young singer studying in Italy, collaborated with me singing part of the song in Arabic and playing the traditional Arabian instrument “Oud”…Enjoy it!”

Princess Bee composed the song "Angels" while in Dubai in 2006. It originates from a true story of two young girls, Israeli Rachel Levy and Palestinian Ayat Al Akras, aged 17 and 18 years that died in a supermarket explosion. Behind the song there is almost 2 years of intense work and difficulty. In fact, from the beginning, many people tried to discourage Princess Bee's project for peace and "Angels". She was not disheartened. Instead, she went to Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt and the Emirates where she worked closely with authorities in culture and politics exchanging views and ideas reaching a final version of the song.
"Angels" is the first song dedicated to international peace and the elimination of walls and barriers worldwide. The "Angels" are young victims of war who tell the story (true stories) of their last living day and urge peace from heaven. A place where there are no barriers and where children of any race, religion and social status all play together.
Recently, the song has made some advancements, being awarded by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) on the 17th of December 2007, stating, “Given the thematic importance and
fundamentally Unescan nature such as peace and solidarity
between populations we are glad to patronage Angels… even
though endorsements from UNESCO are not given to musical
productions from living artists”. It also received the Patronage of The Holy See, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Youth and the Medal of Value from the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano.
The videoclip for “Angels”, produced by Antonio Genovesi Salerno Foundation, was shot on February 29th 2008 at Dino’s Studios, Cinecitta’, in Rome.
Between crew, children and parents over 100 people were present at the shooting.
Alfredo Fiorillo calmly and successfully directed over 40 children from the ages of tree to seventeen.
The energy on the set was amusing as one can observe from the photos of the backstage.
