Biography

Abergavenny, Wales (2009 – present)

Marina Lambrini Diamandis {Greek: Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμάντη} (born 10 October, 1985) is a Greek-Welsh singer, who performs under the stage name of Marina and the Diamonds, which is based on the english translation of her surname.

Marina was born on the 10th October 1985 in Abergavenny, Wales. She released her first single (a double A-side, Obsessions/Mowgli’s Road) through Neon Gold Records on the 14th February 2009, closely followed by The Crown Jewels EP in June 2009. Now signed to 679 Recordings, her first single with the label was “Mowgli’s Road”, released in November 2009. In January 2010 she reached number two on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll list. This was followed by the release of her debut full-length studio album, The Family Jewels on the 22nd February 2010, and her debut American release, The American Jewels EP on the 25th May 2010.

Diamandis’ musical style ranges from keyboard-based ballads to more up-tempo new wave-style songs with full band backing. She has cited a wide range of influences such as Daniel Johnston, Blondie, Patti Smith, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Elliott Smith, Dolly Parton, Britney Spears and Madonna.

    September 2014? Man.............oh well.....I think she partly wants a break to see what her creative instincts take her. I am fine with it but I hate waiting.

    Feels like I waited ages for Electra Heart, I could probably wait for the third album. Besides, I have loads of music to listen to. I'm anticipating the first single more than anything else.
