We see a lot of covers for “Say it Again” and “Avalanche” but it’s rare to see a cover for Marie’s other songs. It is even rarer to see a cover for an unreleased one especially one as good as sarahjanex95‘s rendition of “Swoon”. Check it out!

Hey Guys! Just a quick post to ask you guys to support Marie’s good friend Jessica and her charity ‘The Generation Project’. You guys will remember Jessica from the San Diego after-show interview we did in December. The Generation Project is currently in a Facebook contest to win $1 Million and we need your help to get them to the top!

Here is a brief description of what The Generation Project is all about.

The Generation Project provides donors at all income levels the opportunity to design and fund completely personalized gifts that benefit low-income K-12 students.

The types of gifts that can be given through The Generation Project–like those that wealthy philanthropists give through their personal foundations–are limited only by donors’ imaginations. For example:

- A young lawyer might sponsor an inner-city debate team
- A military veteran might sponsor an essay contest on freedom
- A cancer survivor might sponsor a hospital internship for students interested in medicine
- A former high school swimmer might sponsor a high school swim team, or collaborate with former teammates to sponsor a full-fledged league
- An artist might donate high-end art supplies

The Generation Project is geared towards education because the range of formative experiences available to students in low-income communities is inexcusably narrow. The Generation Project allows donors to design and fund personalized gifts for high-need K-12 students and provides teachers and students easy, online access to these opportunities through an online, interactive platform.

Here are some lovely photos of Marie Digby at day 2 of The Instyle Golden Globes Beauty Lounge 2010 at Four Seasons Hotel last January 16, 2010 in Beverly  Hills, CA. Marie appears on that event with her good friend also make up artist, Meredith. Click the image for more photos.

In her moments of spare time, she continues doing what her fans love best —uploading her pared-down covers of beloved songs. Surprisingly, Marié doesn’t spend much time practicing these covers. “It’s embarrassing how little preparation there is,” she said. “I either pick the guitar or piano, look up the songs on iTunes and YouTube, play it, figure out chords, Google the lyrics, and just do it until I get it right,” she says. The 200,000 subscribers to her YouTube page can’t seem to get enough of her covers, like Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams” or “Fireflies” by the indie group Owl City. And unsurprisingly, Marié’s original songs are slowly becoming more popular than her covers, proving that she is a capable songwriter and artist in her own right.

Marié has no plans to stop any time soon. She recently wrapped a movie based on the recording process of Breathing Underwater, which will feature songs from the album.  And she’s already thinking about her next CD. “I want to play around with beats,” she said. “I’m interested in sounds that are unusual, with instruments from different parts of the world.” This is in part inspired by her recent tour of Asia, where she performed in cities like Manila, Singapore and Tokyo. “When I went into music, I never thought about how my ethnicity would play a role in it,” she said. “But as I got deeper and deeper into it, I got asked all the time: ‘What’s your background?’ ” (For the record, Marié is half-Japanese and half-Irish.) “I’ve become more in touch with my Asian side because I realized there are so few Asian artists who have found any kind of success here in the States,” she said. “It’s given me the added motivation to show the world that there are so many Asians with abundant amounts of musical talent. I hope I can be one of the people to open that door.”
