Wales isn’t often known for it’s connections with ultra cool, sassy females. Apart from Tom Jones and the Stereophonics, we can’t think of many other singers, songwriters or bands off the top of our heads! But that’s why Marina and the Diamonds stands out from the crowd, and is the first in our #HQGirlCrush series. Not only is Marina absolutely stunning, with her unique sense of style and quirky good looks, but her pop-indie songs are packed full of feel good lyrics and one liners to live your life by.
So, who is Marina and the Diamonds?
As mentioned already, Marina and the Diamonds is a singer-songwriter from Wales. Marina’s birth name is equally as fabulous as her stage persona, with this sultry songstresses birth certificate naming her ‘Marina Lambrini Diamandis’…. Even from birth Marina was destined for big things.
With her latest album ‘Froots’ she has continued to produce upbeat, feel good songs, alongside a nice slow number or two as well. Marina has come a long way since the debut sounds of her first album ‘The Family Jewels’ in 2010, but still stays true to her quirky, stylish self!
