The nom de musique of Marina Diamandis, Marina And The Diamonds made a dazzling chart entry last summer when her extraordinary debut album, 'THE FAMILY JEWELS,' burst onto Billboard's "Top New Artist Albums" chart at #2.

The album also received ecstatic coverage in a wide array of US media outlets, including Interview, Fader, Spin, Nylon, Entertainment Weekly, and innumerable others.

The New York Times hailed Diamandis' superior songwriting, stating, "… she's redefining songs about coming of age, and the aftermath, with bluntness and crafty intelligence." "THE FAMILY JEWELS … delivers alt-pop gems on which she (Marina Diamandis) emerges as the missing link between Lady Gaga and Florence + The Machine," exclaimed People Magazine in their 3.5 out of 4 star review.

Marina And The Diamonds is currently hard at work recording her anticipated second album, having spent much of 2010 traveling the globe, with countless festival performances and headline tours to her credit.

In addition to positive press attention, Marina was among the big winners at last year's 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards, taking home the prestigious "Best UK & Ireland Act," while also scoring a nomination as "Best European Act."

Named the #2 artist on the BBC's ever prescient "Sound of 2010" ranking, Diamandis more than lived up to the buzz to become one of the year’s brightest new stars. A gold-certified sensation in the UK, THE FAMILY JEWELS is easily among 2010's most distinctive debuts.

Songs like the first US single, "I Am Not A Robot" and the UK Top 20 hit, "Hollywood," see Marina gleefully melding the theatrically lavish vocal and orchestral flourishes of Kate Bush with the wonderful pop eccentricity of everyone from Sparks to the Scissor Sisters.

Furthermore, tracks from 'The Family Jewels' have received an array of high-profile placements, including MTV's World of Jenks and The Hills, American Movie Classics' AMC Favorites, and Lifetime's two-night movie event, Marry Me!
