Nacida como Marina Lambrini Diamandis el 10 de octubre de 1985 en Abergavenny, Gales, la futura estrella enfrentó desde temprana edad la dicotomía entre su herencia griega y su entorno británico. Este contexto cultural dual influyó profundamente en su identidad artística.
Desde muy joven, Marina mostró un interés por la música y el teatro, participando en diversas producciones escolares. A pesar de no tener una formación profesional en música y enfrentarse a varios rechazos por parte de academias de música, Marina persistió con determinación en encontrar su propio camino hacia el estrellato.
El nombre Marina and the Diamonds no hace referencia a una banda, sino más bien a la intérprete y sus seguidores, a quienes cariñosamente llama "los diamantes". Sus primeras incursiones en la música fueron autogestionadas; Marina compuso, produjo y grabó sus primeras canciones desde su habitación.
En 2007, la joven artista lanzó su primer EP titulado "Mermaid vs. Sailor" de manera independiente. La visibilidad incrementó cuando, un año después, firmó con el sello discográfico Neon Gold Records. Con canciones que reflejaban una mezcla ecléctica de pop alternativo y música experimental, Marina empezó a crear un estilo propio.
En 2010, Marina and the Diamonds lanzó su primer álbum de larga duración, The Family Jewels. Con temas como "Hollywood", "I Am Not a Robot" y "Oh No!", la producción fue un éxito crítico y comercial.

You're just another in a long line of men she screwed
Just another in a long line of men she knew
And yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do
Like all the boys before
Another dream come true
It's a power, it's a power, it's a power move
And while I'm not quite sure what she's trying to prove
They all say she's got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that
I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game
But you can do better than that
Better than that, better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that, better than that
She's the apple of everybody's eye
With an angel voice
Devil in disguise
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use
And she'll network 'til her dreams come true
Even if it means getting into bed with you
Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell?
I know a little too much but I'll never tell
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that
I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know you've been feeling down
You're always out on the town, town
But you can do better than that
Better than that, better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that, better than that
Well, I guess it's just what humans do
Hook up with other people until it all falls through
And when it's over they go out and try and heal their pain
Hook up with another lover, do it all again
I'm not passing judgment on her sexual life
I'm passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife
In my back ever since we were starting out
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you
But you can do better than
You can do better than that
I know you've been feeling sad, sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that, better than that
