In February 2011, Marina became a brand ambassador for Max Factor, a cosmetics company.
Marina and Paloma Faith designed their own window display for Selfridges' London Oxford Street branch as part of "Sound of Music" in May 2010, appearing as "live mannequins."

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, born on October 10, 1985, in Brynmawr, Monmouthshire, Wales, began her musical journey amidst a diverse family background and an early passion for writing. After briefly attending dance school and music courses, she pursued her artistic vision independently, self-producing her early demos. In 2005, she adopted the stage name Marina and the Diamonds, later clarifying that “Diamonds” referred to her dedicated fanbase. Her early efforts led to a recording deal with 679 Recordings in 2008 and a second-place ranking in BBC’s ‘Sound of 2010’ poll, marking her emergence in the music scene. Her debut studio album, ‘The Family Jewels’ (2010), blended indie pop and new wave, charting at No. 5 in the UK and earning gold certification. This success was followed by her third EP, ‘The American Jewels,’ released in the US through Chop Shop Records. Marina’s initial tours spanned Europe, North America, and Australia, laying the groundwork for her distinctive career.
Her second studio album, ‘Electra Heart’ (2012), was a concept album exploring female archetypes through its titular protagonist. This album, marked by electropop and dance-pop influences, became her first UK chart-topping album and achieved gold certifications in both the US and UK. Notable singles from this period included ‘Primadonna’ and ‘How to Be a Heartbreaker.’ After extensive touring, Marina released ‘Froot’ (2015), an album entirely produced by herself and David Kosten. ‘Froot’ achieved her highest US chart position at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, further cementing her reputation for cohesive and introspective music. In 2018, she transitioned to performing mononymously as Marina, reflecting a shift in her artistic identity. Her subsequent albums, ‘Love + Fear’ (2019) and ‘Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land’ (2021), continued to showcase her evolving sound and lyrical depth, with the latter being her final album with Atlantic Records after a 14-year partnership. In 2024, Marina released her poetry book ‘Eat the World,’ delving into themes partly inspired by her personal experiences with bulimia. Her sixth studio album, ‘Princess of Power,’ released in 2025, continued to expand her discography and was supported by extensive touring, including performances at major festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza.
