Ayers Guitar Endorser-Marina V

　　Marina V is a Russian-American award-winning singer and songwriter with an incredible life story and a “hauntingly beautiful” voice (L.A. Times).
“If the Beatles and Tori Amos had a child raised in Russia by Tchaikovsky, that would be me,” muses the piano-playing chanteuse, describing her musical influences.

Marina grew up in Moscow, blessed with a naturally beautiful voice & long last name (Verenikina.) Raised by a communist nuclear physicist father & a psychologist mother during the post-Soviet turmoil, Marina attended a school of music every night after regular school, and has written songs since early childhood.

She came to America by herself at 15, and since has blossomed into an international voice, performing all over the world – from the famed Kodak Theatre in Hollywood to the American Embassy in Moscow. Marina’s songs have appeared in films, TV shows, games & ads. Last year, Marina received an award from Sir Bob Geldof in London.

Marina recently released 2 albums: MY STAR (funded entirely by her fans and featuring celebrity guests from bands KISS & Collective Soul) and Small Collection of Interesting Songs (an EP which features Marina’s songs from NBC’s Days of Our Lives).

The environmentally-conscious cultural ambassador is always touring (often in her Toyota Prius), inspiring her listeners with her amazing music, unusual story & beautiful spirit.
