Life and Career
After playing in several punk bands during her teenage years, Marina founded and fronted Domino signed, Brazilian baile funk band Bonde Do Role. After touring the world for two years straight, they released their debut album ‘With Lasers’ which was produced by Diplo, DJ Chernobyl and Radioclit. Marina then left the band to focus on her solo career and broaden her horizons.
She moved to London in 2008 and has spent the time recording tracks for international acts such as Crookers, Herve, Maskinen, Severin, The Go! Team, AcidKids and Architecture in Helsinki. This led to her building her own, new sound and writing songs with Berlin based Electronicat and the Brazilian one man band O Lendario Chucrobillyman.
She is featured in the Maskinen song and music video Dansa med vapen, released in October 2009.
In 2010, Marina founded her own label Anfetamina Records and released her first solo single Leone, produced by Etienne Tron (aka Radioclit) and Electronicat.
In 2011, she collaborated with Secousse to record a version of "Freak le Boom Boom" for the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album "Red Hot+Rio 2." The album is a follow-up to the 1996 "Red Hot + Rio." Proceeds from the sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues.
Marina is currently working on her debut album now with producer Daniel Hunt from Ladytron.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:
“Capital punishment kills immediately, whereas lifetime imprisonment does so slowly. Which executioner is more humane? The one who kills you in a few minutes, or the one who wrests your life from you in the course of many years?”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
