Satine Queeni is a French-born American and British actress, singer, historian and peace activist. Queeni is the founder, owner and CEO of Past Cosmetics, a natural vintage-inspired makeup and skincare brand. She also founded the Shanti Foundation (SF), which is a non-governmental organization that donates equally to varied organizations and funds.

Satine Star Angelika Grace Queeni (formerly born as Satine Leroy) is born on 25 February 2007 in Paris, France. A few years later, she moved with her family to eastern France, where she began to read multilingual books and traveled around the world at a young age. Even though her nationalities are French and Polish from her paternal grandmother, she got fluent in English at thirteen years old, learning the language by herself. She also speaks other languages like Spanish, Italian and Russian, and she continues to learn these regularly.

She started to write novels, most of the original ones now discontinued, in middle school and high school such as Addictive Romance, formerly True Love, which has gone through several major editing, Hot Summer Love and Drive Me Crazy. She began to write screenplays like the action-romance RED, which will be made into a movie in the next decade.

Satine also started writing songs and finished three unreleased albums at sixteen. She began to write her first album Lovely Love at only thirteen, featuring songs like Don't Cry, New York City and I Need To Know. This album is situated somewhere between pop and indie, with only a few joyful songs like Love, but especially moody and dramatic ones like Bury Me Slowly, Moon And Back, or Smokin' Kills Yet I'm Still Alive, which will be the main theme from the RED soundtrack. After facing some incidents in a private and boarding high school in the end of 2022, she switched to a public high school, but her parents decided to send her in Rwanda, Africa for a few months from March to July 2023. It was during this period of time that she started to listen more to songs from the past decades, especially from the fifties to the eighties, which highly inspired her next two albums: Vintage Summer Heartbeat and The Good Old Days.

Vintage Summer Heartbeat is a record with various genres, from pop new retro to country and reggae. She wanted to create an album which expressed her love for summertime. Almost all of Vintage Summer Heartbeat's songs are full of energy like Sunset On The Beach and Palm Trees (Blue Heart). However, Salted Tears and Surfer Boy are sadder and calmer songs, showing the melancholy of the end of summer. The Good Old Days is much more of a blues and rockabilly record rather than pop. She felt like she needed to "write a sung love letter to the gone and forgotten good old days of America". The second song in the album is untitled What Happens In Vegas, which is categorized in the jazz genre. Titanic Hopelessness is a dark and gloomy song, also like B&W TV. The deluxe edition of this album is the one that has covers sung by Satine such as La Vie En Rose, If I Can Dream, Come Josephine In My Flying Machine, Dream A Little Dream Of Me and more.

Queeni is also a businesswoman, and she founded in early 2022 and was the original CEO of Angelika, a clothing brand, which lasted for a period of two years, before its closing in February 2024. Angelika's goal was to create affordable and comfortable clothes for every women. "Express yourself with what you wear and stay true to yourself no matter what."

Satine Queeni founded Past Cosmetics (previously named Satine Queeni Beauty until mid-2022, then Star Beauty until September 2023), which is a clean, natural makeup and skincare brand that creates affordable products for everyone everywhere and for all skin types created in February 2022. The inspiration behind Past Cosmetics was to make timelessly good makeup and skincare products. Past Cosmetics' collections are inspired by the makeup from the twentieth century, a revolutionary period of new creations for cosmetics. Satine Queeni thought that it was about time to change the cosmetic industry by making a brand accessible to everyone and a good quality in their products and beyond. Past Cosmetics will have a new rebranding campaign, which will also consist of a relaunch of the brand in the following years.

Satine is an activist and philanthropist too, and she founded the Shanti foundation, (which was previously named Satine Queeni Peace & Love Foundation), on February 21, 2022, which is a non-governmental organization that donates equally to varied projects worldwide such as protecting the planet and endangered animals, supporting mental health and addiction issues, and justice for everyone everywhere. Inspired by the late 1960s counterculture, associated especially with the "peace and love" hippie movement, Satine Queeni decided to name her foundation "Peace" in the Hindi language, which translates to shanti (शांति). She says: "I felt like somethings needed to be done in the world. If I can help people in need, I'll do it." On July 1, 2022, Satine cut and donated half of her hair to an association that creates wigs for people with cancer. While she was in Rwanda from March to July 2023, she donated school supplies to middle schoolers in Butante in the Huye District and in Kigali City. In August 2023, Satine went to Dubai, United Arab Emirates in the Middle East to feed animals in the desert. Satine traveled to the Philippines in April 2024 for the sixth time in her life to feed and take care of numerous animals such as cats, dogs, sea stars and more.

Satine Queeni is mostly focused on her acting career rather than any other works (such as Past Cosmetics and Shanti) at the moment. She is mostly known for playing roles in short films, and to frequently play in period dramas, especially situated in the twentieth century.

While Queeni was on her trip in Rwanda from March to July 2023, she started to get interested in history, especially the cultural events that happened throughout the twentieth century. Satine Queeni is mostly renowned for her vintage lifestyle and is a pastiche of some of the twentieth century's decades, such as her trademark 1960s beehive updo hairstyles, her vintage-inspired clothing, and her frequent references to the good old days from the 1950s and beyond to the 1980s. By September 2023, Satine started to listen to The Beatles, which she recalls "changed her life." Satine's Beatlemania era started by firstly listening to the Fab Four's first LP Please Please Me. She described their music as something she's never heard before, and it also highly influenced her music as well. "My biggest dream is to have a time machine and go back in time. I'm obsessed with history and the past since I watched numerous photographs from decades ago and live performances such as Twist And Shout by The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Elvis Presley's in 1956 or Be My Baby by The Ronettes and much more. I love the way people lived back in the day. I often get told that I'm being nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even alive but I'm starting to think that I'm simply just stuck in the past. And I'm not planning of getting out of it for a long, long time."

"Don't judge people based on who they are, judge them based on who they want to be."
