A self-described "musical lovechild of The Beatles, Tori Amos and Tchaikovsky", Marina grew up in Russia during the Soviet Union collapse, singing and writing songs since a very young age. Known for her deeply personal yet universal songs, Marina connects with and inspires her listeners through her vulnerability. At live shows (and her Twitch streams) she takes her audiences on an emotional journey through music and storytelling. From tales of growing up behind the “iron curtain” and coming to America as a teen on an impressive scholarship, to making her way in the music business in Los Angeles and struggling with depression, Marina openly shares herself with her listeners.

Marina's perseverance, early adoption of crowd-funding techniques and success as an innovative independent artist has earned her many commendations and invitations to speak & perform at the Musicians Institute, The GRAMMY Museum, UCLA, PODFEST Asia and various music industry classes and conferences.
