Name Origin:
Marina explained:
"I created the name 'Marina and the Diamonds' 5 years ago and I never envisaged a character, pop project, band or solo
artist. I saw a simple group made up of many people who had the same hearts. A space for people with similar ideals
who could not fit in to life's pre-made mold. I was terribly awkward for a long time! I really craved to be part
of one thing because I never felt too connected to anybody and now I feel I have that all around me."
