A singer/songwriter originally from London, Marina’s music crosses a number of genres & has been described as Americana, Folk & Country, while she doubtless draws inspiration from many sources, her voice & style are uniquely her own. 

She has been compared to some of the best vocalists in the music world, from Stevie Nicks to Nanci Griffith.

Marina came to performing late in life although very soon after making the decision to "come out of the kitchen" she was awarded Arts Council funding, via the Escalator Project, to record her debut album. Using this as a platform she has reached audiences not previously thought possible.
Jan 2019, Marina, & co-writer Jules Fox Allen, won the FATEA Innovation Award alongside The Warm & Toasty Club founder, Johnno Casson for the lottery & Arts Council funded Memory Afternoons Project.

Marina worked with The Warm & Toasty Club between 2017-2019 & along with Jules, to write six songs based on the memories of residents at retirement complexes along the Essex Coast & in Colchester.

Marina's love of music is clear and in Sept 2019 she was accepted as a moderator for Tom Robinson's Fresh On The Net Blog.

Collaborating is a passion for which her releases pay testiment to.
