Anya Marina is a singer-songwriter and radio disc jockey based in San Diego… Read Full Bio ↴Anya Marina is a singer-songwriter and radio disc jockey based in San Diego, Calif. Her music has been featured on the ABC television drama Grey's Anatomy (and its second soundtrack) and on shows such as MTV's The Real World. She is also track 6 on New Moon soundtrack. Anya is a former deejay on KBZT (FM94/9) in San Diego.
Anya was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., and grew up in the Silicon Valley area of California as a capricious child with Russian-Agnostic/Irish-Catholic professor parents (psychology and russian literature/math) and a younger sister. After finishing high school, Anya moved to Los Angeles as an aspiring actress. With stints in the British American Drama Academy (taught by Richard Dreyfuss, Marsha Mason, Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach) and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, Anya has also acted in television and film (in 2001, she starred in the feature film, 100 Girls). She eventually moved back home to earn a college degree in English and writing at Santa Clara University. She continued to struggle as an artist -- working in acting, musical theatre, music, improv and comedy -- but eventually found a job as a radio DJ on KSCU, Santa Clara University's college station.
After graduating, Anya took a radio station job in San Diego with Mike Halloran at XHRM-FM (92.5). After the station was bought out by another corporation, Halloran hired Anya at Y107 in Los Angeles before they both moved to Premium Radio 92/1 in San Diego's North County. After leaving that station, both disc jockeys landed at FM94/9.
It was in San Diego that Anya played her first open mic night and began to write her own songs. She quickly developed a live stage act using what she learned as an actress, comic and impressionist. Her recorded debut was a five-song EP called Exercises in Racketeering, which eventually led to a full-length album, Miss Halfway, which was released in early 2005. Anya subsequently opened for such artists as Jason Mraz and Rhett Miller. She was named one of the "Best Unsigned" acts by San Diego CityBeat.
The songs on Miss Halfway talk about her upbringing, ex-boyfriends and all the after-effects. Anya's album was also produced by Scott Russo, the frontman for rockers Unwritten Law, along with Peter King from The Surfers. The record eventually earned a San Diego Music Award for Best Recording. The title track also landed on Grey's Anatomy and was featured as the fifth song on the second Grey's Anatomy (soundtrack) disc along with The Fray, KT Tunstall, Gomez and Snow Patrol.
The internet radio station KGRL featured her as their Flower-Powered Artist for March of 2007. The feature includes an exclusive interview, CD Review of Miss Halfway, and an on-demand audio stream of an unreleased Anya Marina track titled "Try It And Like It."

I feel alone listening to this beautiful song... 10 years after... And all these old comments... hey you... I feel alone now...
@noragrey7016
no need - we do still listen nowadays :)
@amandacorrea3048
i'm listening to it right now
@kooljojo9479
I am not a teenager anymore, but I still love this, in fact I love it even more. My heart aches, remembering those years I was in pain but the books gave me a way to cope with all that.
@DareBear2099
As a Songwriter myself I am facinated with simple little love songs. And this song ISA pretty amazing one at that. It totally captures that moment in the film and possibly the movie as a whole. Love the simple haunting hook and vocals and lyrics. And as a side note, the soundtrack to this film as a whole is actually pretty amazing in it of itself :)
@ax9995
everytime i hear this song i feel like wanna cry and i love twilight
@AnaClaudia-ju9mw
Do you still love it? I do
@NikkiKitty86
I love this song so much and everytime I listen to it, it always makes me cry. This song really explains Bella and her undying love for Edward. I love the Twilight Saga!!!!! Team Edward!!!!!
@EmilyLovesYou1998
even if you hate the twilight saga (like me) you can't deny that the saga has the best movie soundtracks
@thesydnilyn
I love how powerful and stunning the soundtracks are to the Twilight Saga. I just saw Eclipse and the very first song made me thirst for more( pun intended) And I just love all the accoustic melodys in the movies. Stunning, beautiful, lovely. Peace.
