Marie Digby checked in with fans on her YouTube channel after opening for Gavin DeGraw at Rialto Theater in Joliet, Illinois on Wednesday (July 2). Digby has been on the road for the past nine weeks, having earlier toured with Eric Hutchinson and Justin Nozuka and was on day two touring with Gavin.

She talked about how it’s been about a year since she began posting YouTube videos, and she admitted, “It’s just crazy, it’s just all hitting me right now how much has happened in this one year.”

Marie Digby checked in just after getting back from Asia, where her suitcase is in the process of being re-packed because she’s left on Saturday for her U.S tour. She also talked about her contest winner for her guitar and her agony picking a single winner, as well as having “the time of my life” in Singapore and Malaysia.

“Let me say that doing this contest, for me, I thought it was going to be la dee da, just a lot of fun. I’ll just pick a winner, give them a guitar and that’s it, but no, it was actually really heartbreaking and it was so hard for me to pick one winner because I really, really loved every single entry, and I’m not joking about that. I watched each one at least four or five times and I couldn’t pick a winner because I couldn’t stand the idea of hurting the feelings of 244 people and just making one person happy. I was like okay, get it together. No one is going to do this for you, just pick a winner, send them a guitar and that’s it with contests.”

Talking about her trip, Marie said, “I just got back from Singapore and Malaysia, and I had the time of my life. I really did. It was incredible. It was everything I had hoped for and more. I got to meet so many new people. In Sinapore we did a show and I was so impressed because there were people who were singing along to songs that are not on the radios over there so you guys are listening to my stuff on YouTube or are buying my album, so thank you so much. That really made my week.”

Marie Digby checked in with fans on her YouTube channel, posting a partial cover of the Jordin Sparks single ‘No Air’.

She writes, “I just heard this on the radio recently and thought it’s a really beautiful song.. decided to mess around on the piano for a second and figure out the chords. Here’s just a little teaser of the song.. If you guys like it enough, maybe I’ll learn the whole thing ;)”

Marie Digby checked in with a video clip discussing the details of her autographed guitar giveaway contest, where participants have to make their own video for Digby’s song ‘Say It Again’ and upload it to her YouTube group. She then offered instructions on how to play guitar on the track.

“Basically all you have to do is make a video of my song ‘Say It Again’. So you can play it on the guitar, on the piano, trumpet, whatever you happen to play, and just do a cover of the song, or you can get super super creative and make a music video for ‘Say It Again’,” Digby said about the contest. “Whatever it is that you want to do, as long as it includes that song. If you are the winner, they you will get a free guitar that I actually picked out at the store the other day. It’s almost identical to the very first guitar that I had. The very first song that I wrote was on this guitar, so I hope you enjoy it.”

Marie Digby checked in with a video clip when she was out to lunch outside of the Friends or Enemies office, talking about how there’s nothing more refreshing than a glass of milk.

“There are very few things in life that make me as happy as a tall cold glass of milk. I know it’s a little silly. I should be over it,” Digby confesses in the video. “I’m not 5-years-old, but I love it. Maybe it’s because I like chocolate, it’s a perfect accompaniment… It’s just beautiful. What can I say? It’s my favorite drink.”

Digby writes, “With milk, people tend to go one way or another. Hate or love right.”

Marie Digby posted another song from her session at Capitol Records entitled ‘Miss Invisible’, which the singer songwriter said was “very dear to me.”

“It’s quite autobiographical and details my time in junior high school,” Digby explained. “To this day, it’s hard to get through this song without feeling like I’m right back in my 13 year old self … falling down stairs… dreading lunch time.”

Marie Digby checked in with fans to wish them a happy new year from her mother’s hometown of Kumamoto, Japan. The singer songwriter was visiting her grandmother, cousin and uncles, celebrating the new year.

Digby was at Suizenji Park, showing viewers the scenes and talking about how it was used in ‘The Last Samarui’. “I just wanted to say thank you so much for making 2007 one of the best years of my life,” she said. “I hope that, actually I’m pretty confident that 2008 is going to be just as wonderful, and I hope it is for you as well. Have a wonderful January and I’ll put some videos up soon.”
