Marina is Marina Diamandis, who is a singer from Wales. She moved to London to pursue music, applying for auditions in the same paper that advertised for what would become the Spice Girls. In 2005, she chose the stage name Marina and the Diamonds, with Diamonds referring to her fans. She also stopped going to auditions in favor of learning to compose her own music, releasing her first EP on Myspace in 2007. She had talks with 14 different labels before deciding on one which wouldn't dictate her brand. In 2009 she released two EP's with the label, and came in second on the Sound of 2010 poll through BBC. Her debut album came out in 2010, along with another EP and started getting a lot of mentions on top 100 lists, although she was still disappointed to not hit with an American audience. Her next album came out in 2012 and this is the one that ended up breaking through the over-saturated American market. Her next album was supposed to be out in 2015, but got leaked so was released early. In 2018, she dropped the stage name to go solely by Marina to make a change in her career. This year there is an album and a mini tour for it, and then we'll see what else comes up with her new era.
Peace.
