♡ EARLY CAREER ♡

Marina started making music on her own way in 2007. Before that she tried to join many bands but she didn't really success, so she decided to do it with her rules. She paid £500 to produce a few tracks and they ended up to be on her first extended play, Mermaid vs. Sailor EP. It was released in November 23, 2007. Back then she used the same stage name as now, Marina and the Diamonds, which is translated into English from her own name. She says that "she wants to make a difference between her own life and her career." She sold 70 copies of her first EP through MySpace. Later, in 2008 Marina was booked to open for Gotye and after that she signed to 679 Records. She recorded her debut single, double a-sided consisting of "Obsessions" and "Mowgli's Road". The single came out in the US in November 19, 2008 through Neon Gold Records.

In 2009 Diamandis released her second EP, the Crown Jewels EP, featuring her second single "I Am Not a Robot". Marina and the Diamonds' first major single was a re-record of "Mowgli's Road", released on November 13, 2009. In January 2010 it was announced that she had taken 2nd place on the longlist for the BBC Sounf of 2010 poll.
