Marjana Semkina (pronunciation: má‑ree‑á‑na sem‑kee‑na; also spelled Mariana Semkina; Russian: Марьяна Сёмкина) is a Russian‑born singer and songwriter who has been based in the United Kingdom since 2020. She releases music as a solo artist and is known as a member and co‑founder of the bands iamthemorning and Maer. Semkina was born at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, where her father worked as part of the spaceport team. She later lived in Kazan and then Moscow. In 2007, she moved to St. Petersburg, where she began the first of several musical projects. In 2016, Semkina launched a charitable initiative selling handmade paper birds featuring autographs, handwritten lyrics and artwork created by herself and various musician friends, including Arnór Dan (Agent Fresco), Einar Solberg (Leprous), Xen (Ne Obliviscaris) and Nick Beggs. Proceeds have supported a range of causes, including orphanages, animal shelters, horse rescue and medical equipment for nurses during the COVID‑19 pandemic. In 2018, Semkina received an Exceptional Talent visa from the United Kingdom, following an endorsement from Arts Council England. This ultimately led to her relocation to the UK in 2020.
