Marina Star is not a household name, she is not a passing fad, or just a cute face and easy gimmick. No, Marina Star is an artist, whose beauty is only matched by her talent as a gifted singer and award winning songwriter. Marina Star’s sound is a unique mix of pop and electronic dance music with hints of a heartfelt balladeer. Her artistic vision and sound are a reflection of her love for artists like Madonna and Gwen Stefani coupled with influences from her extensive artistic education in Moscow, Russia, where Marina is originally from.
At an early age, Marina Star began training with classes in pop vocals, modern dance, piano and acting at the Kids and Teens Art Palace in Moscow and continued her studies in music at the Modern Art Institute, and in acting at the Slavonic International Institute. As Marina Star’s extensive training in the arts progressed, she became very hands on in the creative process, and at 16 began writing and composing her unique catalog of songs. Marina moved to USA in 2005 to live with her mother in a small town in CT at first and then moved to New York City where she currently resides.
In 2009, Marina Star worked with multi-platinum record producer Arty Skye at Skyelab Music Group in NY and recorded her first series of singles. Then she collaborated with Grammy Award Winning Producers Dan Matthews & Sam Michaels, known as the Klubjumpers, and released remixed versions of her previously recorded songs and performed with it at one of the popular NY nightclubs Amnesia. As Marina Star progressed as a songwriter, critics began to notice and accolades began to pour in for the Russian born starlet. Marina received an Honorable Mention from the 17th annual Billboard World Song Contest for one of her songs and in 2012, Marina was noticed by the celebrity music management company Nightlife Productions & Entertainment and started working on her debut album with hitmaker Roman Molino Dunn of Mirrortone Studios.
Marina Star performed with her newly recorded singles “Alive” and “Everlasting” at NY hottest clubs like XL in May 2013 and now Marina is working on finishing and releasing her very first album. Above all, Marina Star wants her music to be able to uplift and to inspire her listeners. “I create music from my heart and each of my songs means a lot to me and has a personal story behind it,” she says.
