Mini bio
How it started.
Marina moved to London at 18 and began finding her own way into songwriting. She made early demos with GarageBand and independently released the Mermaid vs Sailor EP through Myspace in 2007.
Finding the Diamonds.
As Marina and the Diamonds, she built an audience around songs such as I Am Not a Robot and Mowgli’s Road. Finishing second in the BBC’s Sound of 2010 poll preceded her debut album, The Family Jewels, which reached No. 5 in the UK.
A world for every record.
Electra Heart became her first UK No. 1 album in 2012. For FROOT in 2015, she wrote every song herself and shared production with David Kosten. Later albums included Love + Fear and Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, whose single Man’s World earned an Ivor Novello nomination.
Music and poetry.
Her first poetry collection, Eat the World, appeared in October 2024. In June 2025 she released Princess of Power through Queenie Records and BMG, working with CJ Baran. The deluxe edition added new songs and an Absolutely collaboration, while the tour continued into 2026.
