“Marina Stratton is a worship leader, songwriter, mother, and artist from Los Angeles who has a passion to help raise up the next generation of worshipers to lead from a place of intimacy with God.

She has a heart for young artists and began experiencing the presence of God through music at an early age. She received her BA in Theater and has a wide creative background that includes contemporary and classical singing. A deep love for the body of Christ has led her into ministry in the local church and house of prayer for the last 10 years. She and her husband John produce original music together and lead RIVERS, a worship ministry and recording studio.

As a vocalist, Marina believes in singing from the overflow of the Holy Spirit to release the natural voice. She is excited to partner with you to explore the nuance and emotion connected to your voice with a practical approach to technique!
