{
Simone Mendes Rocha Diniz (born 24 May 1984), mononymously known as Simone (Brazilian Portuguese: [siˈmõ.ni]) or Simone Mendes, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. She is widely known and recognized in her home-country of Brazil as one of the duo, Simone & Simaria, known as As Coleguinhas. The duo was one of Brazil's most successful sertanejo and forro groups from 2012 to 2022, until both Simone and Simaria Mendes's pursued their solo careers.
Following a highly controversial breakup, Mendes shared her side of the story, revealing that her sister had engaged in a series of arguments, expressing her desire to end her singing career. One of the arguments reportedly occurred after an interview between Simone and a columnist. The group went through a division of items and belongings before officially parting ways on 18 August 2022.
In 2013, Mendes married Kaka Diniz, a Brazilian pilot, investor, and influencer, with whom she has two children, Zaya and Henry Diniz. Prior to this, she was married Wendel Felicio de Albuquerque, a Brazilian investor, in 2010, but the couple divorced the same year.
Simone, together with her sister and Brazilian singer-songwriter Anitta, released "Loka," which became the most watched Brazilian video.
