Born Marie Christina Digby, the 28-year-old American singer-songwriter became famous for her cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" in 2007 which became a hit and was featured on MTV's "The Hills" series. Since then, she was able to record 3 studio albums in the US.

Marie Digby was in the Philippines in 2009 for a one-night concert and got back in the country 3 months ago to do shows and appear in events in the Kapamilya network. Perhaps, she'll be staying here longer since she has to record and promote her upcoming album still.

Check out below Marie's "Umbrella" cover on Youtube which amassed over 19 million views:

Marie Digby, Sam Milby 'kilig' moments in Japan revisited (Photos and Videos)

During the "One Kapamilya Go" concert in Japan last year, hunk actor Sam Milby and international singer Marie Digby had a special moment together when they played a 'paper dance' game where Sam had to carry Marie. They won the game and the audience asked for a kiss. Both did give each other a kiss making the crowd 'kilig'. :D

Sam previously admitted he dated the American acoustic singer, but the distance took a toll on them.

Noypi's Notes:

Marie is in the country right now and is expected to do some shows in the Kapamilya network where Sam is a talent. Hmmmmm... Noypi wonders if the two would give their 'romance' another chance. They look good together eh! :D
