MARINA
Electra Heart's creator, a decade on — theatrical art-pop with cult-classic devotion behind it.
MARINA is the Welsh singer and songwriter Marina Diamandis, born in 1985 and raised in Abergavenny, with a Greek father. She recorded first as Marina and the Diamonds, releasing The Family Jewels in 2010, and shortened the name to MARINA in 2018.
Her songwriting tends toward character studies and pointed observations about ambition, femininity and self-image, set to synth-driven pop with strong melodies and a wide, expressive vocal. Electra Heart, Froot, Love + Fear and Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land followed the debut, and songs including "Primadonna" and "How to Be a Heartbreaker" remain the best known. She writes or co-writes her material and has been closely involved in the visual presentation of each record.
