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 are a horror, you are a horror
You are the same, same, same horoscope as me, yeah
You're like a zebra, even a tea-bra
You're like a zebra and a tigra, or a Libra like me, yeah
I hoped you were a Gemini
But I thought, well I'll give him a try
I never fell in love with other Libras
They were too flashy and bleat just like zebras
They reminded me of me (they were just like me)
Caught by the buffaloes feasted on for all to see
The weighing scales they broke my back
That's what imbalanced me
I fell in love but I didn't look back
To see if he was looking back at me
Oh I'm a horror and I'm so nervous, you have seen
That I'm a horror, no you're not horrible like me
You are a horror, you are a horror
Why did you have to be the same horoscope as me, yeah
You know I'll make you, you know I'll break you
I know you can't cope with my instability, yeah
Well I hoped you were a Gemini
But I thought, well I'll give him a try (try)
I never fell in love with other Libras
They were too flashy and bleat just like zebras
They reminded me of me (me, me, me)
Caught by the buffaloes feasted on for all to see (do you see)
The weighing scales they broke my back
That's what imbalanced me
I fell in love but I didn't look back
To see if he was looking back at me
Oh you're a horror are you're so nervous, I have seen
That you're a horror, you're just as horrible as me
The weighing scales they broke my back
That's what imbalanced me
I fell in love but I didn't look back
To see if he was looking back at me
