At the age of 16, she entered the Contemporary Art University in Moscow.[2] She plays the piano, the guitar and the xylophone.[3]

Marina used to sing in a choir, before she became the lead singer of the group "Formula". In 2004, they released a few singles for the series Obrechonnaya Stat Zvezdoy.[4]

Serebro

Personal life

Each and everyone finds something different in them – and that is great."[2]

Marina is fluent in Russian, English, and Spanish.[3] She is also a fan of football and once stated that she was very happy because Russia played in the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2008.[3]
