About Me

In addition to sharing the stage with Juliana Hatfield, Tegan & Sara, Jason Mraz, Britt Daniel, Greg Laswell, Rhett Miller (Old 97s), Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sproket), Folk Implosion, Mark Eitzel, Jill Sobule, and Jolie Holland, Anya Marina rocks the proverbial mic middays on FM 94/9 (9a-2p) and, in the words of Tom Waits, "does some acting," most recently in 100 Girls as Rhonda the neurotic afflicted with trichotillomania.
Anya's first full length, Miss Halfway was voted Best Local Recording at the San Diego Music Awards. The title track from "Miss Halfway" can be heard on the Grammy-nominated Grey's Anatomy soundtrack, which (at the time) made Anya the only unsigned artist on the compilation.
Marina signed with Chop Shop Records in the Spring of 2008 and will release her sophomore album in the Fall.
