ABOUT MARINA -
Russian-born Los Angeles-residing
Marina V is an intriguing singer/pianist/songwriter with an
incredible life story. Marina's music is a magical blend of her angelic voice, hooky
melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and fresh chord progressions, which make this new artist
truly special.
"If the Beatles & Tori Amos had a child raised in Russia by
Tchaikovsky, that would be me," muses Russian-American
singer/songwriter, Marina V. "My music is melodic and passionate, it
comes from my heart and from everything I've experienced in my life."
The red-headed piano-playing songstress grew up in Moscow, blessed with
an angelic voice & long last name (Verenikina.) Raised during the collapse
of the Soviet Union in an educated but not wealthy family (communist nuclear
physicist father & psychologist mother,) Marina attended a school of music
every evening after regular school, and has written songs since early
childhood. She surprised herself by winning a prestigious scholarship at 15
to study in America for a year. She came back to Russia but promised herself
she would return to America and did, at 17, as her parents divorced and her
mother left for Australia. Somewhere between visa issues, crazy odd jobs,
missing her family, playing ice hockey and graduating from college in
Illinois, Marina has been hard at work pursuing her musical dreams, touring
and self-releasing several albums & various bootlegs.
In 2008, now Los Angeles-based Marina and her collaborator, Nick Baker,
released "Modern Fairytale", an exquisite new album in which elements of
reality & dreams co-exist in a breathtaking and creative way. With subjects
such as love & loss, peace & war, struggle & success, togetherness &
loneliness, intertwined with vivid fairytale images (ghosts,
butterfly/guardian angels & such) Marina creates a magical yet realistic
world, full of highs and lows. From the first notes of "Hope", through the
happy beats of "Sunshine Guaranteed" to the longing words in "Babushka",
sung in Marina's native Russian, "Modern Fairytale" is an enchanting
collection of songs, through and through.
Supported by legions of loyal fans, the
environmentally-conscious self-described “cultural ambassador of sorts” is
currently touring internationally, inspiring people with her amazing music,
unusual story & beautiful spirit.

Check out Marina's OFFICIAL LIFE STORY
"Marina’s story reads like the
biography of a James Bond villainess. Born in Russia to a communist / nuclear physicist,
she grew up studying martial arts, skiing, computers, skateboarding and, of course,
playing music. She came to the States alone as a teenager to study languages, business and
politics, meanwhile enjoying stints as a model, translator, and an athlete on a
women’s ice hockey team. Perhaps this unique background has guided Marina in the
evolution of her intriguing style and sound."
