Marié Digby first hit the national stage when a homemade video of her performing an acoustic cover of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” made her a YouTube phenom (see video below). “That was a really wonderful way to start. I could present myself exactly as I wanted,” says Digby, who first started writing her own songs at age 15 on a $50 guitar she bought on a whim.
Her first album, Unfold, debuted at 29 on the Billboard chart, 2 on the iTunes album chart, 3 on Billboard’s Digital Top 100 album chart and prompted a successful string of film and television placements for her songs including ER, Greek, The Hills, One Tree Hill, and Smallville.
Her brand new album “Breathing Underwater” will be out on Sept. 15th 2009 everywhere in the U.S. and Sept. 7th on Amazon.com (www.amazon.com.)
From the opening beats of Breathing Underwater, the listener encounters a bold new Marié Digby. In marked contrast to the stripped-down vibe of her debut disc, Unfold, the album’s fuller sound enhances Marié’s (pronounced Mar-ee-AY) emotionally rich storytelling and dramatic vocals. The album is a deeply personal snapshot of her life—full of the kind of exposed emotions that make great songs.
“When I was making the album I was falling for someone—someone real and someone in front of me—and that was really scary,” she continues. “There were days when I thought, this most wonderful thing I’ve ever felt. And there were days when I was tormented. That intensity came through in the songs.”
