Fresh Face | Marie Digby
This week's Fresh Face hasn't really been unknown since her acoustic cover of Rhianna's hit "Umbrella" hit airwaves last summer, thanks to a little video she made on YouTube. Since then, MARIE DIGBY's brilliantly gentle cover has been heard on MTV's The Hills, and she's recorded two albums, Start Here EP (2007) and Unfold (2008).
Marie Digby, a Californian of Japanese and Irish descent, first started penning songs in high school. After winning the 2004 Pantene Pro-Voice Music Competition with her autobiographical song "Miss Invisible," Marie Digby signed a publishing deal with Rondor Music and a record deal with Disney's Hollywood Records.
In 2007, Marie Digby began posting homemade videos of herself singing original and covers on YouTube, and her videos have now been viewed over 2.5 million times.
Marie Digby just released her first full-length, Unfold, on April 8 with "Say It Again" as the headlining single. Her personal and thoughtful lyrics mesh beautifully with her melodious and soulful voice, and she's got talent to boot, accompanying herself on both piano and guitar.
If you're looking for mature, organic pop, take a listen to Marie Digby (under the cut)!

I hear her Rihanna cover all the time at work and never knew who it was! She's amazing - beautiful voice and so gorgeous too. Man, it must be hard to be her less talented friend! haha
