“Under the Marina & the Diamonds moniker, Welsh songstress Marina Diamandis brings quirk back to pop music in an epic way. While skirting similar territory as fellow UK sensation Florence and the Machine, Marina emits a more playful persona — imbuing her own Kate Bush-isms with echoes of offbeat entertainers like Regina Spektor and Amanda Palmer. Her impressively composed debut album, The Family Jewels, is accompanied by equally impressive music videos.”

Marina & the Diamonds is the stage name of Marina Diamandis, a Welsh-born solo artist based in London.

She played at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Swindon early in May 2009 and played the Glastonbury Festival in June 2009. Her debut single Obsessions/Mowgli's Road was issued on Neon Gold Records in the US, followed by the Crown Jewels EP in June 2009.
