Satine: “I wanted to prove that I am a real singer”

Radio Friborg: Well, I could have started this interview by calling you … Furthermore, Oscar. Furthermore, Is this story true?

Satine (laughs) Yes, completely true! In addition, Basically, my parents thought they were waiting for a little boy, that they wanted to call Oscar. Meanwhile, And then, surprise: finally, she was a girl! Consequently, They had to improvise. Similarly, And that day, in the hospital, they watched “Moulin Rouge” on TV … Similarly, and my mother had a crush on the first name Satine.

It’s an incredible wink, especially since in the film, Satine is sick of the lungs … Furthermore, like you?

Yes, it’s crazy, I also have a pulmonary disease, much less tragic obviously, but the coincidence is crazy. Moreover, I do not know if it was written somewhere. Meanwhile, but I like to believe in the butterfly effects, the hazards that are not really.

You satine: “i wanted prove i often say that you were born on stage. Consequently, Do you remember your very first time?

Yes, perfectly. Therefore, My mother sang a song called “Hijo de la Luna”. Moreover, and I at 4 years old, I ripped off the microphone during a concert in a campsite because I wanted to sing it. Meanwhile, I sang it in front of 200 people. This is where my parents understood that I knew how to sing.

The Yodel, you learned it on your own on YouTube, is it true?

In an afternoon. Well, it may be a bit exaggerated, but not so much. It fascinated me.

And that’s what you sang at The Voice Kids, at 9 years old. Are you still watching this video?

I can’t escape it! She comes out all the time on Tiktok. Each time, I am identified in it. I know her by heart, it’s too funny. But I’m happy, it reminds satine: “i wanted prove i me of good memories.

Would you say it was this TV passage that launched your career?

Yes, this is the media starting point. A year and a half later, I launched my YouTube channel, and people recognized me thanks to this performance. Everything grew up from there.

On Tiktok, you have 1.2 million subscribers. Has it become an obligatory passage or do you still have fun?

It is by periods. The algorithm is super hard to understand. Sometimes you feel like you are mastering everything, sometimes nothing works. It kills spontaneity and proximity to the public a little. Everything becomes a marketing strategy. Me, the promo videos to do on its own, it’s not my delirium. But I have to, so I do. It is not death, but it is frustrating not being able to be 100% artistic.

Your new EP is called “Trampoline”. I saw there an energy of rebound, of freedom. Is that the message?

Yes, completely. It was time to prove that I am a real singer, not just a tiktofer or a youtuber. I started with music, so somewhere I always had this legitimacy. But media, it’s hard to get out of this box. With this EP, I think I succeeded in this turn.

I read that your dream would satine: “i wanted prove i be to make a musical. Is it still relevant?

Of course! It would be the final boss of my career. I can see myself at 50. finance my own musical, play in it, release an album, then a film… and hop, box office! I love the idea. For me, it’s total art: theater, dance, music, scenography. When I see a musical, I have the impression of entering a parallel world. It’s magic.
