Digby, had a normal childhood, but was always a little shy, feeling more comfortable hiding under the bleachers during high school football games than in front of a crowd. She started playing the piano when she was just four years old, and began to secretly write songs later 'after everyone had gone to sleep', even hiding them from her family.
While a senior in high school, the timid and nervous Marié Digby signed up for a talent show. Although she was nervous to perform, she went on anyway and the audience loved it. This would be the first of many performances.
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” appeared 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.

She released her first Japanese cover album, "Second Home" on March 4, 2009. She toured Japan, performed on radios and live shows to promote her album.
Digby released her sophomore album, "Breathing Underwater" to Japan + Asia (June 23, 2009) and the rest of the world (September 15, 2009).
Diamond Eyes
Marié Digby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why should we care what they say, look at the shit that they do
I'll wait for your call, I know exactly what to do
Just ask the driver for the key to your room
You open the door, I'll put my hands on you
Words are no match for what your body will do when...
I'm in your diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
The pulse that beats between me and you
You touch my skin and the love runs through
When I'm in your diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
I can tell that you want a nice girl like me
I've been desperate for somebody to set me free
Just wait for my call, you know exactly what to do
Make sure no one sees you on the way to my room
I open the door, you put your hands on me
Show me the lover I'm allowed to be when...
I'm in your diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
I'll lie for those diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
The pulse that beats between me and you
You touch my skin and the love runs through
When I'm in your diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
In a world of lies, you are my truth
If we're going down, I'll go down with you... I'll go down with you
When I'm in your diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
I'll lie for those diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
The pulse that beats between me and you
You touch my skin and the love runs through
When I'm in your diamond eyes, your diamond eyes
I would lie to the world for just a moment with you
The lyrics of Marié Digby's song "Diamond Eyes" speak of a forbidden, passionate romance between two people who disregard what the world has to say about them. The lyrics suggest that the two lovers are ready to break societal conventions to be together. The song begins with the singer admitting that she is ready to lie to the world for just one moment with the person she loves. She believes that the rest of the world is filled with hypocritical people who criticize others despite their questionable behavior. The singer is confident about what she wants and knows how to get it. She waits for a call, and once she receives it, she knows exactly what to do.
The music video for "Diamond Eyes" also portrays this forbidden romance in a subtle yet gripping manner. It showcases Digby being chased by a group of people who want to kill her. The video implies that she is running away with her lover, played by actor Michael Rosenbaum, a dangerous situation since the two are being hunted. However, the two are fearless and continue their journey, relying only on their love for each other. The chorus of the song drives home the importance of these "diamond eyes," referring to the connection between the singer and her lover. This connection, she suggests, is stronger than any words or societal conventions.
Overall, "Diamond Eyes" speaks to the longing for connection, even in the face of societal criticism. The song highlights the significance of love and the lengths to which individuals are willing to go for love. It celebrates the idea that love inspires courage and that having someone's heart can be more important than anything else.

I LOVE IT because it is you.. though it sounds like the producer reigned in your voice to make it sound more poppy and commercial...
They have made you sound like every other generic pop star when you have such an amazing beautiful voice... whoever has produced this is limiting you MarieDigby
I am still a huge fan, i will buy this, and support you and spread your works through word of mouth.
But please take these criticisms as they are intended, i am NOT hating. I simply want the world to hear what you truly are capable of - which is not this.
The producer put WAY too much phase and chorus on your voice - along with using too much "plate b" reverb on the entire song - also there is too much compression on the mid and upper range as they seem to attenuate into one another, the cymbals synth and snare during the chorus and hook all bleed over into one another.
I Still love you and your music MarieDigby!!!
P.S if you want something mixed properly get a hold of me, i'll do it for free :)
P.P.S I have been a huge fan since the beginning

Your new songs/videos may be edgier but one thing for sure didn't change.. the feels. Your songs never fail to tickle my emotions. The feels. ;)

Very cool to see a different side to your music!! It's a cool thing for someone to feel comfortable to show a side of themselves that probably has always been there, but has never been able to be shared with the world, instinctively being guarded. Great song, great video! We've come so far from "Stupid For You"! ;)
