Marie Digby is a singer from Los Angeles,
California.
Marie Digby was born on [month day], 1983
in Los Angeles, California and grew up in the Brentwood, California
area.
Digby, had a normal childhood, but was
always very little shy, feeling more comfortable hiding under the
bleachers during high school football games than in front of any crowd.
She started playing the piano in High School and began to secretly write
songs, even hiding them from her family.
While a senior in high school, the timid
and nervous Marie Digby signed up for a talent show. Although she was
nervous to perform, she went on anyway and the audience loved it. This
was to be the first of many performances that were to come.
She began University of California at
Berkely in 2002 as a philosophy major. She was on the three-day
schedule (she took all her classes in three days) so she would have more
time to play with the new band she had formed. She was performing all
over the Los Angeles area, including places such as the infamous Whiskey
a Go Go and The Troubadour.
In 2004, the quiet Digby came out of
obscurity into the public eye when she won the 2004 Pantene Pro-Voice
competition with her song “Miss Invisible” (a song about growing up and
feeling like you do not belong). The grand prize for the concert
included working with a professional producer on an album, $5,000 and
performing on stage with other top performers.
In 2006, the song “Fool” appears on the
Disney compilation album Girl Next, which includes many of
today’s Radio Disney Stars such as
Hilary Duff, Aly and AJ and
Hannah Montana.
Digby has been the a force to be reckoned
with on YouTube. She has the most subscribed list on the online
social community and her videos have had over 6.6 million hits
(especially her acoustic cover of Rihanna's
song "Umbrella"). However, she has been accused of astroturfing to gain
this popularity - which she flatly denies.
