Don’t be fooled by Marina’s petite frame and quiet
personality. When on stage, she transforms into
a singing power house to be reckoned with. Despite
being just slightly over 155cm in height, the shy
20-year-old as her friends and acquaintance describes
her, commands the stage with such ease and confidence
which easily captures the hearts of her audience.
An ardent fan of divas such as Mariah Carey and
Christina Aguilera whom she credits for her music
inspiration; it was therefore not a surprise when
the strong vocalist selected Gloria Gaynor’s “I
will Survive” for the Semis and Aguilera’s “Ain’t
No Other Man” Grand Finals which eventually saw
her winning Teenage Icon in 2007. Prior to Teenage
Icon, she also took part in Singamania in 2005 and
came in third place.
Aside from singing, Marina also aspires to be an
actress one day. Between her hectic school schedules,
the student from Singapore Polytechnic has found
time to pursue her love for acting by taking part
in an annual school production and has acted in
Superstar, in aid of the President’s Star Charity
in 2006.
An avid dancer, who counts reading and sketching
as her hobby, Marina hopes to make a name for herself
in the entertainment industry beyond the shores
of Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.
