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.

Voice On The Radio
Marié Digby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Behind the glass house he came walking out the back-door
Into a crowd of screaming girls calling his name
I never saw it coming, the way a voice can make me feel
And I fear that I am falling
I should be old enough to know
Not to fall in love with the voice on the radio
[Chorus]
So here I stand fighting what I feel for you
Torn between what reason says and how I really feel
And here I stand, wondering what to say to you
Hoping that you feel the same, the same as I do
He's in a rock band with a voice like an angel
And eyes of a raven sky
And suddenly I find myself twelve years old again
Dreaming of you
But who am I kidding to even think that you might see me
It's in the stars that girls like me
And boys like you were never meant to be
[Chorus]
Would you be scared if I told you I like you
And would you run if I told you I love you
[Chorus]
As I do, as I do
I never saw it coming the way a voice can make me feel
And I fear that I am falling
I should be old enough to know
Not to fall in love with the voice on the radio
The lyrics to Marié Digby's song "Voice on the Radio" tell the story of falling in love with someone through their music. The singer falls for a stranger, a rockstar with an angelic voice and dark eyes. She saw him walk out of a glass house into a crowd of screaming girls calling his name. The singer is evidently smitten and feeling young again, which is ironic as she wants to rationalize it all but is struggling to keep her composure. She knows she shouldn't be falling in love so fast, but the voice on the radio has a profound effect on her, and she's helpless. She finds herself fighting with her emotions and torn between what she feels and what reason dictates. A part of her believes it's a hopeless cause as she thinks boys like him and girls like her aren't meant to be together. The chorus is the singer's plea to the rockstar, hoping that he feels the same way and scared to tell him outright.
Line by Line Meaning
Last night I fell in love with a stranger
I unexpectedly fell in love with someone I don't even know personally
Behind the glass house he came walking out the back-door
He came out of the building, but I only saw him through the glass of the windowpane
Into a crowd of screaming girls calling his name
He walked into a group of girls who were shouting and calling out his name
I never saw it coming, the way a voice can make me feel
I didn't anticipate falling for someone just because of their voice, but it made me feel deeply
And I fear that I am falling
I worry that I am becoming too attached to this person I don't really know
I should be old enough to know
I should have enough life experience to understand
Not to fall in love with the voice on the radio
That I shouldn't let myself become infatuated with someone I only know through their voice on the radio
So here I stand fighting what I feel for you
I am struggling with my emotions for you
Torn between what reason says and how I really feel
I am conflicted between what logic tells me and what my heart is telling me
And here I stand, wondering what to say to you
I am undecided and unsure about what to say to you
Hoping that you feel the same, the same as I do
Desperately wishing that you reciprocate my feelings
He's in a rock band with a voice like an angel
He is a member of a rock band and has an incredible singing voice
And eyes of a raven sky
He has dark, mysterious eyes
And suddenly I find myself twelve years old again
He makes me feel young and vulnerable, like a preteen again
Dreaming of you
Fantasizing about being with you
But who am I kidding to even think that you might see me
I am deluding myself by even considering that you could notice me
It's in the stars that girls like me
It's written in destiny that guys like him and girls like me are not meant to be together
And boys like you were never meant to be
It's just not possible for someone like me to be with someone like him
Would you be scared if I told you I like you
If I confessed that I have feelings for you, would you be frightened?
And would you run if I told you I love you
If I said that I loved you, would you be afraid and try to distance yourself from me?
As I do, as I do
I love you deeply, as much as I fear it
I never saw it coming the way a voice can make me feel
Even though I should have known better, his voice stirred up such strong emotions in me
And I fear that I am falling
I am afraid that I am falling in love with someone I don't even know
I should be old enough to know
I should be mature and experienced enough to see the situation for what it is
Not to fall in love with the voice on the radio
I shouldn't let myself fall for someone I only know through their music on the radio
