Originally from Soviet Russia and growing up in Moscow, Marina V first came to the United States when she was only 15 years old after winning a national competition for a year-long music scholarship. She made her way back to the United States at age 17 and has been performing and creating music ever since. A self-described ambitious workaholic, Marina continues touring, writing and recording. "I love writing songs and I really really love performing them for my fans. I can't imagine a day without music. I will be doing this forever."
