Satine Queeni's Biography. Biography Satine Queeni is a French-born British American actress, historian, musician and philanthropist based in England. She is particularly known for playing in period dramas spanning in the late modern period in American and British movies and series. Queeni is renowned for her quintessential vintage lifestyle and is the founder and owner of the Shanti शांति Foundation. Born in Paris, France and raised in the French countryside near Geneva, Queeni began her career as a songwriter and model. Satine "Sat" Queeni (née Satine Leroy) is born on February 25, 2007 in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France from an upper-middle-class Parisian family. Her father Cyril Leroy is a computer scientist who worked in the business district La Défense, Paris and afterwards in Geneva, Switzerland. Her mother Ludivine (née Boussuge) worked in the luxurious department store Printemps Haussmann, she became a housewife a few years after Satine's birth. She is the descendant of Léon Blum, a French socialist politician and three-time Prime Minister of France in the early twentieth century. She is of Polish descent from her paternal great-grandmother and has Jewish ancestry through her maternal grandparents. At three years old, she left downtown Paris and moved with her family to a town in southeastern France in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region near the border of Switzerland. She was baptized as a toddler and had her first communion in 2023 in Rwanda, yet religion was not practiced in the household. With her parents and older brother politician turned businessman Matisse, she traveled every year on summer vacations around the world, mostly in Southeast Asian countries like The Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and became something of a globetrotter. In 2018, she spent her summer road-tripping in the Southern United States including Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and on the West Coast in cities like San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, and also stayed in New York City. She stated that that was her most influential and life-changing trip, "I wouldn't be the way I am now were I did not visit the US when I was younger. It literally changed my life. I became so passionate about American culture, I learned English in a few months after that trip." As a young teenager, she spent winter holiday in Southern France and lived in rental houses in coastal cities like Cavalaire-sur-Mer, Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo in Monaco. She learned music theory for a while in middle childhood, alongside her brother. She also took violin lessons every week for a few years when she was in elementary school, growing her passion for music by doing so. A decade after leaving Paris, her family moved again to a nearby town on her second year in middle school. She became fluent in English at thirteen years old, learning the language by herself by watching English speaking movies and reading books, after her "life-changing" trip in the United States. Queeni grew her passion for the United Kingdom and the United States by travelling there multiple times, and each time she grew fonder of these countries. She explains: "I am definitely both an Anglophile and an Americanophile. For me, the US is like a holiday trip whereas the UK is my homeland, as well as France." She also learned Spanish and Mandarin Chinese in high school. She studied cinematography, English literature, philosophy and geopolitics in her later years of high school. Queeni was an intern at a law firm near Paris for a week in ninth grade. Furthermore, she had another two-week internship at a local pet store in tenth grade. She is fluently bilingual in French and English as well as semi-fluent Spanish, and is in the process of learning both Greek and Latin to support her work in history. Queeni practices indoor rock climbing, a sport she has enjoyed since her youth. She struggled with an eating disorder and her body image as a teenager. Queeni was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at seventeen years old. She has controversially been an advocate for drug liberalization to decriminalize recreational drugs. Queeni has lived in Paris and Rwanda, and she currently splits her time between two homes in France and England. Queeni has used various pseudonyms and stage names before she was known by the general public, including Satine TheQueen, Katherine "Kate" Hamilton, Jennifer Jackson, Elizabeth Jones, Grace Jackson, Star and Angelika Queeni. Around 2020, she came up with her stage name 'Queeni' by translating her real last name to English. After slightly modifying her last name Leroy to Le Roi (Le Roi is French for The King and is pronounced the same), she decided to change its pronoun resulting in La Reine (The Queen). She decided to personalize The Queen by removing the determiner and adding the letter "i" at the end, creating 'Queeni'. She has stated that her name is pronounced sa-t-ee-n kw-ee-n-ee (/.sːæˈtɪn kːwiˈnɪ /). When Queeni was in middle school, one of her hobbies was to write novels - most of the original ones that are now discontinued - such as Addictive Romance (formerly True Love - which has gone through several major editing), Hot Summer Love and Drive Me Crazy. Queeni has written one novella-guide titled The Ultimate Guide To Become The Femme Fatale released in June 2023 online. She started writing screenplays as well, like the action-romance RED. As a musician and songwriter, she wrote her first collection of songs Lovely Love at thirteen years old, featuring tracks like Don't Cry, NYC, The Ballad Of You, Conquest and I Need To Know. This album is a blend between dream pop and rock, with only a few baroque pop songs like Love and Happily Ever After but especially moody and dramatic ones like Love Me Slowly, Cry, Moon And Back, or Smoking Kills Yet I'm Still Alive (RED Main Theme). Many of her songs explore themes of romance, glamor, relationships and substance abuse. Her music is noted as nostalgic with frequent references to twentieth century pop culture. Musically, she performs across eclectic genres (pop, rock, disco, psychedelia, folk, blues and country). Her discography is often associated as Beatlesque and reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s music. She sings lead and background vocals, and is a multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, keyboard, percussion, harmonica and violin. Queeni's musical influences include The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, The Beach Boys, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and is also inspired by the likes of current artists like Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys and Harry Styles. She says: "The music I write is inspired by the past, from Bach to The Beatles and Lana Del Rey. It's extremely varied, as I perform across multiple genres. That's why there's something for everyone in that compilation." Queeni has cited film directors, Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, and principally Quentin Tarantino, models and actors such as James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Pattie Boyd, Brigitte Bardot, Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant and Cillian Murphy as influences. Queeni's teenage hood and education was peripatetic and quite turbulent, hence her rebellious streak. During her last month of middle school in 2022, she brought rum in a water bottle and drank it during class. She lost consciousness in the school cafeteria during lunch and was brought to the nurse's office, where she recovered. However, she repeated the same behavior two days later, alerting her family about this as well as her struggle with alcohol use disorder. After facing some incidents (one of them was infamously setting on fire sheets of paper in class) in Saint-Michel, a religious, private, and prestigious boarding high school located in the alpine town Annecy in November 2022, she got fired and switched to a public high school for five months, but her parents decided to send her in Rwanda, Africa for a few months from March to July 2023. During that time, she lived in families' homes and emerged herself with their culture. She stayed the first month in a convent alongside religious sisters in the Huye district, where she had her first communion in a parish. In Huye, she did humanitarian work in middle schools and donated school supplies to children. She visited Kibeho - a small town in south Rwanda known because of reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ occurring in the 1980s. She moved to the capital city Kigali for four months afterwards and attended Mass on Sundays with her temporary legal guardians. It was during this period of time that she started to listen more to songs decades past, especially from the 1950s to the 1980s, which highly inspired her next two albums: Vintage Summer Heartbeat and Long Live The Good Old Days. After returning home from Africa in August 2023, Satine proceeded to continue her final years of high school. She explained that her stay in Rwanda enlightened her way to see the world and contributed for her to want to raise awareness about inequality in the world. Queeni is also an activist and philanthropist and she founded the Shanti शांति Foundation (previously named Satine Queeni Peace & Love Foundation) on February 21, 2022, which is a non-governmental organization that equally donates to varied projects worldwide such as the anti-war movement, animal welfare, historic preservation and justice for everyone everywhere. Inspired by the late 1960s counterculture, associated especially with the "peace and love" hippie movement, Queeni decided to name her foundation "Peace" in the Hindi language, which translates to shanti (शांति). She says: "I felt like something needed to be done in the world. If I can help people in need, I'll do it." Satine visited a sloth sanctuary and rescued injured and orphaned sloths in Costa Rica in July 2020, which led her to create the Shanti शांति Foundation a year and a half later. Since its launch, Shanti शांति had held frequent projects. In July 2022, Queeni 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, Queeni went to Dubai, United Arab Emirates in the Middle East to feed animals in the desert. She 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. In August 2024, she contributed to the Jardim Zoológico in Lisbon, Portugal. New extensions of the Shanti शांति Foundation were created afterwards for a more diversified and worldwide outcome. The Shanti Homelessness Relief Project (SHRP) was established in October 2024 and the Preservation of Archaeological Sites and Historical Artifacts (PASHA), created for historic preservation, was introduced in February 2025. From late December 2024 to early January 2025, Queeni visited Türkiye and rescued and fed a large number of animals such as feral cats, dogs, rabbits and birds. In February 2025, she contributed to the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. On her sojourn in Rwanda in 2023, Queeni wrote and recorded Vintage Summer Heartbeat, a record of various genres from pop rock, 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 energetic like Sunset On The Beach, Island, Palm Trees (Blue Heart) and Texan Cowboy. However, Salted Tears is a ballad, showing the melancholy of the end of summer. Euphoria blends psychedelia with acid rock, while Cali is a nostalgic folk track. Long Live The Good Old Days is a blues, rockabilly and psychedelic record. Satine felt like she needed to "write a sung love letter to the gone and forgotten good old days". Its eclectic intro is called Time Machine while the gloomy interlude is Universe. The second track in the album is a jazz and ragtime song reminiscent of the 1920s named Vegas whilst B&W TV is a dark and gloomy song exploring progressive rock. The deluxe edition of this album contains a fair amount of classic covers such as Connemara Lakes, La Vie En Rose, If I Can Dream, Come Josephine In My Flying Machine, Day Tripper, Love Is Like A Cigarette and more. However, in June 2024, after editing older songs and writing a few new songs to her discography - like Is Summer Back? / Tell Me Why and Henry, We're Leaving - she decided to release her upcoming collection of songs into a double LP titled the same as her third to-be album, Long Live The Good Old Days, by sorting the songs in chronological order, showing her growth in songwriting. Yet, Queeni decided in early 2025 to release her three albums at different times during the same year. Lovely Love is expected to be released on February 14 while Vintage Summer Heartbeat will be released on June 22 and Long Live The Good Old Days is yet to be released in August 2026. Queeni launched in early 2022 and owned Angelika (called for a short period Satine Queeni Shop), 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." Angelika regularly launched new collections, including mostly an extended line of clothing and loungewear but outerwear and swimwear as well. Angelika innovated and developed new products, with collections such as the asymmetrical little black dress and light beachwear cover-ups. Shortly after founding Angelika, Queeni officially launched Past Cosmetics in February 2022 (previously named Satine Queeni Beauty until mid-2022, then Star Beauty until September 2023). She was the owner and creative director of Past Cosmetics for two years. It was a natural vintage-inspired makeup, skincare and fragrance brand. Past Cosmetics' classic products and collections were inspired by the makeup industry from the twentieth century, which was a revolutionary period of new innovations for cosmetics. The brand's ethos and raison d'être was to produce vintage-influenced cosmetics that'll make customers feel like they stepped back in time. Past Cosmetics created affordable, timeless and high quality multitasking products for everyone, everywhere. 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. Sustainability played a big part at Past Cosmetics, their products were consciously made and crafted with natural ingredients, cruelty free, gluten free, and free from harmful additives. 1% of their annual sales went to the Shanti foundation. New face, eye, lip and skincare collections and products were released frequently. The original Love Stories From Decades Ago Matte Lipstick launched in February 2023, which became a quick best seller, as well as the Queen of the Universe Collection and its eponymous first fragrance. The 7-in-1 Ultimate Mascara, Wizard of Oz Powder Foundation, Here Comes The Sun Liquid Foundation and Casablanca Liquid Concealer launched in early 2023. Past Cosmetics launched the Timeless Beauty Complete Skincare Bundle in fall 2023. The Pretty in Pink Collection was released in June 2024, and the Woodstock '69 Collection soon followed a month later. July 2024 also saw the launch of Grace Fragrance, the highly-awaited Past Cosmetics signature fragrance, after the discontinuation of their best selling fragrance Queen of the Universe. Grace Fragrance captured the essence of a blooming garden in summertime, blending floral notes with warm vanilla, peaceful lavender and refreshing citrus. The Spring Blossom Collection was launched in March 2025, making it the final collection of the brand. Past Cosmetics' sale of all skincare products were discontinued for disinclined reasons as of October 11, 2024 online. The brand announced their shutdown on April 4, 2025 because "[...] our founder Satine Queeni believes Past Cosmetics no longer aligns with its original vision," their makeup products ceased to be produced on April 10, 2025 after three years in operation. While Queeni was on her trip in Rwanda from March to July 2023, she started to get interested in history and became fascinated with it, in general the history of the world, but especially the cultural events that happened throughout the twentieth century. She decided to turn this passion into her life work, alongside acting. As an historian and anthropologist, she studies human, world, social (people's history or history from below) and cultural history, specializing in the late modern period from the eighteenth to late twentieth century. Her most recent works include studying the American frontier - Native American tribes and Indigenous Peoples of North America, the mid-20th century, the Cold War period, the counterculture movement (and The Beatles' impact on the 1960s culture) and Western countries' respective golden age. She focuses on European and American history and also works on historic entertainment and folklore culture. Her exhaustive work includes cultural anthropology, ethnography (a branch of anthropology), ethnology, genealogy, archivism, geography, etymology and linguistics. In 2025, she started studying sociocultural anthropology and working on Alltagsgeschichte, meaning "history of the everyday" or "history of everyday life" which is a form of social history that emerged among West German historians in the 1980s. On account of studying etymology, she is learning both Greek and Latin. Queeni is renowned for her quintessential vintage lifestyle and pastiches some of the twentieth century's decades, such as her trademark 1960s beehive/bouffant updo hairstyles, her vintage-inspired clothing, and her frequent pop culture references to the "good old days" from the 1920s to the 1980s and beyond. She is the author of a number of essays, mostly about cultural history and the hippie counterculture. She says: "The future's mysteries lies in history's secrets. My biggest dream is to have a time machine and go back in time. History and the past speak to me. My mantra is 'long live the good old days' and I've always lived by that and even got it tattooed. I'm interested in how ordinary people lived centuries ago and also the mystery of not completely knowing how, thus I try to find it out. I often get told that I'm being nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even alive but I'm thinking that I'm simply just stuck in the past. And I'm not planning of getting out of it for a long, long time." Queeni studied audiovisual cinematography for three years in high school and starred in a number of short films with her student friends at that time. She learned video editing and acting back then. She had a background role in Claude (2023), a side character in Zombies (2024) and a background role in the controversial play adapted into short film I Manage (2025), which was created alongside a team of stage actors. The movie premiered in France in a town hall auditorium and was shown to its mayor and regional deputies on May 5, 2025. It was presented to teachers on June 10, and to the public on June 13 and 14. She starred as a leading actress in the one-minute suspense thriller short story Car Wreck, produced in spring 2025. As well as Car Wreck, Satine had a leading role in Paranormal Encounter, a picture inspired by Stanley Kubrick's The Shining with references to the twin sisters, which was shot in May 2025. Queeni is set to play Lana on an American road trip in the upcoming movie Drive Me Crazy set in 1988. She will play June in the upcoming sun-soaked coming-of-age romance Hot Summer Love set in summertime 1966. She is also set to play the notorious assassin Jennifer Jackson (aka Red) in the upcoming eponymous action film noir RED, in which she wrote the screenplay in 2023. Queeni will also play Kat Hamilton in her series debut and dark action-romance Addictive Romance. Queeni has directed and produced short movies and is occasionally a costume designer on set, and also a music supervisor in post-production. She is active in American and British movies and series and is known for playing versatile roles in period dramas, spanning in the late modern period from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. She is also famous for playing the archetype chain-smoking femme fatale and is well known on both sides of the Atlantic. She is acknowledged to attain an outstanding speech imitation ability in various accents, especially the American accent (including southern, Brooklyn, Valley) and the British accent (Cockney, Received Pronunciation). Queeni is mostly focused on her acting career rather than any other works - such as the Shanti शांति Foundation - at the moment. Written by Jack Williams with contributions from Satine Queeni.

S atine visited the historical landmark Colosseum amphitheater on February 23 for the Preservation of Archaeological Sites and Historical Artifacts (PASHA). It is the largest ancient amphitheater ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheater in the world despite its age. She also visited Vatican City and its museum.

The preservation of archaeological sites and historical artifacts holds significant importance for our founder Satine Queeni. As populations grow and cities expand, the remnants of our past face increasing threats of damage and destruction. Thanks to our new pro ject and latest extension of the Shanti foundation , the Pre servation of Archaeological Sites and Historical Artifacts (PASHA), we are stepping up to protect these important elements of our cultural heritage. Our work ensures that future generations can explore and understand the rich history that shapes humanity. We decided to launch PASHA in honor of our founder's birthday month. Satine Queeni decided to create the Preservation of Archaeological Sites and Historical Artifacts, an extension of the Shanti foundation in early 2025. Archaeological sites serve as windows into our past, offering priceless insights into ancient civilizations and the lives they lived. They are more than just collections of objects; they tell the stories of the people who came before us. Alarmingly, many of these sites are under threat from urban development, climate change, and illegal excavations. The Shanti foundation recognizes this urgency and is dedicated to promoting the conservation of these historic treasures. Restoration of historical artifacts is another critical focus of at PASHA. Many artifacts have experienced damage over time due to neglect or environmental factors. We employ skilled conservation specialists who carefully restore these items. This meticulous work is vital not just for preserving beauty but also for scientific analysis where researchers are able to uncover new insights into trade routes and everyday life in ancient societies. Individuals can also contribute to these preservation efforts by visiting archaeological sites and participating in cultural events. Every action matters: even sharing the importance of historical artifacts can significantly affect community awareness and support. The more people understand the value of cultural heritage, the more likely they will stand up for its protection. Our dedication to preserving archaeological sites and historical artifacts is essential for maintaining our cultural heritage. As the threat of loss looms over many significant historical sites, we are committed to this mission to play a crucial role in protecting these irreplaceable treasures. By supporting us, you can also take part in preserving the legacy of our ancestors for future generations. Our founder Satine Queeni in an antique store in Dublin, Ireland in Oc tober 2023.

2024 saw the Shanti शांति Foundation expand in three worldwide countries and held projects regarding animal welfare, and launched its first extension.
