The second single "DIVA", following the first single "Back To Me", is a big change from the R&B/Soul taste of the past, with an iconic funk and up-tempo. It is a big dream come true to announce the world, the image character of Satone drawn by NATSUKING through the second single, who is an artist that has been a classmate of mine and at the same time a huge inspiration of mine. The title "DIVA" was inspired and named after the "DIVA Exhibition" that was held during my visit to the UK, as I felt a sense of destiny. My sense of music was greatly influenced by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and other female artists of the 19's, and this work was completed by respecting and voicing the past when these artists fought the era of gender discrimination with the power of music. While the release of "DIVA" is a representative work of the first Asian R&B diva to spread her wings to the world, I hope from the bottom of my heart that it will give everyone who listens to it, the strength to grasp their dreams.
Satone grew up with a global background, such as living in Texas, USA and studying at international schools. She is trilingual in English, Japanese, and Spanish. She was exposed to Gospel choir in church, which led her to perform in BillBoard Live Osaka and Golden Ribbon Charity Osaka. Later, she spend her time in New York to enhance her vocal and pursued performing at Apollo Theater. After coming back to Japan, she starts her career as a singer with roots in black music starting from Gospel to R&B.
