Russian-born Los Angeles resident Marina V is an intriguing 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 Tchaikovsky & the Beatles, 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).
In January 2008, Marina released "Modern Fairytale", an exquisite new album where elements of reality & dreams co-exist in a wonderful and a creative way.
With subjects such as love & loss, peace & war, struggle & success, togetherness & loneliness, intertwined with vivid fairytale images (ghosts, butterfly/guardian angels & such) Marina creates a magical, yet a very real world, full of highs and lows. From the first notes of "Hope", through the happy beats of "Sunshine Guaranteed" to the longing words in "Babushka", sung in Marina's native Russian, the album is a magical collection of songs, through and through.

CRAZY APPLES BAG
January or December...
I could see the snow on the flag
But I still remember
Crazy Apples bag
"When I was growing up, I really didn't have too many things, let's say, I had just one pair of jeans for a few years. It was quite normal in the Soviet Union. There weren't too many bright things, but mostly dark, solemn colors. I don't know why that was, really. But when my mom first went to America in 1991, half a year before the USSR fell apart, among other things she brought me a small plastic bag. It was white with bright green apples all over it, and it said in hot pink "Crazy Apples". It was the first bright thing that I ever owned." ~ Marina
Russian-born recording artist with "hauntingly beautiful" songs(L.A.
Times) and "inspirational lyrics & a soaring voice" (Music Connection).
