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.

Oh heartbreak's hard when you don't have a plastic heart
You sent me in through the cinnamon stars
'Cause you tasted so bitter but the bitter was sweet
I'm the lovelorn princess and I'm yours to eat
I gave you too much, gave you too much to touch
Mister Hardcore Iron through the velvet glove
You were a lullabye, and you had me blind
But now I laugh 'cause you're the one
Who's being left behind, I see you cry
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
Yeah
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin' everybody in the neighbourhood
Tellin' everbody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot
Yeah, baby, I know that it hurts
When you're about to get your just desserts
Oh heartbreak's hard
Harder than glittering cars
Harder than livin' life fast
Harder than crashin' and burnin'
Hope that you learned your lesson
(I hope that you learned your lesson)
They always said I was a mess of a girl
Ever since you stepped your toes into my perfect world
You flipped me upside down but I see clear from here
That you're a mess of a boy, you'll cry these tears for years
Look in the mirror babe
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
Yeah
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin' everybody in the neighbourhood
Tellin' everbody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot
Yeah, baby, I know that it hurts
When you're about to get your just desserts
I'm glad that you crashed and burned
Guys like you they never learn, never learn
Baby, revenge is sweet
When I am playing you on repeat
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin' everybody in the neighbourhood
Tellin' everbody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot
Now that the shoe's on the foot
Karma came back like you knew it would
Like you knew it would
