Dear Beautiful People, Buttaflys & Rawkas,
Thank you for coming here year in and year out and for being such huge supporters. I’ve learned, grown, changed and evolved since my very first solo show back in 2009. It’s been a long journey in making these three EPs — RED, BLACK & BLUE. And along that journey, I brought a concept and over 30 songs to my incredible producer, Tom McKay. We’ve re-written some and scrapped some, written whole new ones, cried, yelled, screamed, swore and evolved through the entire experience. Shit, I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since we started this journey (and I really need to thank you for your patience, it’s so heartwarming). But now, I’m excited to unleash this new music and invite you into a new chapter of my musical journey.
Making music, writing and performing all over the world have prepared me for this major shift, and to reflect the evolution of my music and self, I’ve decided to rebrand and take a new name. The name is SATE (rhymes with fate), which means to satisfy a desire or an appetite to the full.
Now, if you’ve pledged to the making of this new body of work that I’ve been steadily creating, then you will have received a link to stream the RED EP on PledgeMusic. But, if you haven’t pledged, you can still pledge and get in on the action — like getting all three EPs (exclusive to Pledgers), and other exclusives solely available on PledgeMusic, HERE. Lastly, over the next 9 weeks, I will be releasing the BLACK & BLUE EPs, in addition, I will post the inspiration and/or the creation process of each song to give you a better idea of the entire body of work.
You can follow, tag and talk about SATE on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr or Facebook [ALL at @stateofSATE], and of course, my new website, stateofSATE.com.
peace, love, robins, panthers & butterflies,
SATE fka sbt
