Marina is a music composer, producer, singer, and songwriter. She received the 2020 Fulbright Award, the 2021 Barcelona Sound Creation Scholarship, and the 2022 ASCAP Harold Arlen Film & TV Award. Based in LA, she has worked in the music department of 20th Century Studios' and Scott Free's "Boston Strangler", CW and Netflix's "Dynasty", Amazon Prime's "KSI: In Real Life", and has collaborated as a composer with Paul Feig's Powderkeg Media production company. She has a severe hyperacusis syndrome that affects how she processes sounds, and her music thrives from a very personal sampling and sound design style. Her concert music works have premiered internationally at the Music Palace of Catalonia and L'Auditori of Barcelona, and she has conducted and recorded music scores at stages such as the Warner Brothers’ Eastwood Stage in Los Angeles. Marina studied formal music composition at Barcelona’s Esmuc and later moved to Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy, where got involved in music research about artificial intelligence and algorithmic composition. She moved to Los Angeles and graduated from the prestigious USC Screen Scoring program, where began her career as a media composer and creator. Her final thesis consisted of the creation and analysis of a genetic algorithm for harmonic and melodic development, which led her to receive the Fulbright Award. She started composing music at age 3, with her early pieces premiering in the local scene of her region in Spain. She began writing fiction at age 4, winning literary awards and with a sober-minded storytelling style, while developing a very singular vision of what music could bring to a story very early on in her life. Trained as a classical pianist and lyrical singer, Marina adapts the former vocal techniques with the new performance aesthetic. Her voice has been described as “clear with a velvety quality, but with an ability to diffuse her color at will”.
