Marina’s Decacorde is the instrumental project founded and run by Marina Koshkina.
Marina Koshkina is a composer, arranger, sound engineer and guitarist, most known for her unique style of 10-string guitar performance and composing skills, highly appreciated by music industry professionals such as Rick Beato, Tosin Abasi, Nikita Koshkin, Sean Lennon, Mike Dawes and more.
Started playing classical guitar at the age of 11, she felt in love with music and composing. At 15, she switched to electric guitar and later to bass guitar, run by passion to rock music of 70s-80s. After leaving the first rock band where she played as a bass guitarist, Marina decided to build a solid musical base, going through all steps of classical music education. In 2012, she graduated from Smolensk Glinka Music College as a classical guitarist, and in 2019 - from Maimonides State Classical Academy (Classical Guitar Department).
Marina started playing the acoustic classical 10-string guitar (decacorde) in 2014. Four solo instrumental albums and several singles were released in this creative format. Ten years later, a 10-string electric guitar appeared in the project, and a new creative round was marked by the electric guitar instrumental single "Magnolia".
Thanks to the constant fervent support of fans with donations and paid subscriptions, the project exists as a completely independent commercial project, and all the albums of the Marina’s Decacorde project were released with funds raised through crowdfunding.
Marina is an endorser of the guitar workshop Simakera Guitars (Russia, Kaliningrad), Pyramid strings (Germany), guitar Luthier Davide Serraccini (Italy), Mercuriall Audio (Russia).
