Marina Christopher is an award-winning bassist and jazz vocalist, with awards such as Earshot Magazine's Emerging Artist of the Year, and the Seattle-Kobe Vocal Jazz runner-up. Whether she is performing with her trio, duo or just solo bass and voice, Marina is the whole package and she "has developed into a multi-talented, highly in-demand artist on the Seattle jazz scene." While she makes bass playing and singing look absolutely effortless, it is clear she has serious musical chops and a serious love for not taking life too seriously. Her jazzy style can easily bring back the sounds of a by-gone era, or elevate todays hits. Marina's original songs and arrangements range from laments to straight-up bangers.
