Album Notes

Russian-born and Los Angeles-based Marina V is an intriguing Adult Alternative singer/pianist/songwriter with an incredible life story. Marina's music is a magical blend of her angelic voice, hooky melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and fresh chord progressions, which make this new artist truly special.

Influenced by the Beatles and Tchaikovsky, Marina's music style has been described as an unusual mix of Tori Amos, Jewel & Paul McCartney, but "with her unique phrasing, breathless, smoky-sweet and compelling vocals, she's got a sound all her own" (Artists Studio Magazine).

Her concerts are a must see. Full of raw talent, Marina's emotionally intense live performances are breathtaking and electrifying, with her hypnotic voice reaching out to every single person in the audience. Having relentlessly performed across the USA, the green-eyed songstress has created quite a buzz, effortlessly connecting to her fans through her unique but accessible music and through her eccentric but very charming personality.

Over the past couple of years, Marina has received plenty of spotlight from numerous print and online publications. She was recently featured in Keyboard Magazine, which called her "one of the most promising singer/songwriters of the year". She has also been named as one of the HOT 100 UNSIGNED Artists by Music Connection Magazine and is a proud recipient of the ASCAP popular award two years in a row.

Marina's songs can be heard on MTV (the Real World), films and radio stations such as XM Satellite Radio. The twenty-five year-old chanteuse is officially endorsed by AUDIX microphones, PEAVEY products and YAMAHA digital pianos.

Teaming up with co-writer Nick Baker & bringing in legendary producer, Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, John Lennon, etc), Marina has recently released her new album, "Simple Magic." From uptempo & edgy "In My Head", to breathtakingly beautiful "Guardian Angel" & "Make This Minute Last" and fun & quirky "If I Could Read Your Mind", the album is fully loaded with fresh musical gems. The album is now available online at www.MarinaV.com and at Marina's concerts.
