Marina and the Diamonds was the stage name of Marina Diamandis, a Welsh singer and songwriter of Greek ancestry, born in Brynmawr in 1985 and raised near Abergavenny. She moved to London set on becoming a professional singer with little formal musical training behind her, which only makes the confidence in her voice more startling: a big, theatrical instrument that swoops from a whisper to an operatic yelp in a heartbeat.
In 2009 The Crown Jewels EP brought "I Am Not a Robot", and that same year she came second in the BBC's Sound of 2010 poll. The Family Jewels, her 2010 debut album, mixed indie pop with new wave bite, entered the UK Albums Chart at number five and went gold, and "Hollywood", its second single, climbed to number 12 in the UK. She also won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best UK & Ireland Act in 2010.
The concept album Electra Heart followed in 2012, and she has since dropped "the Diamonds" and records simply as Marina.
