Ms. Digby first hit the national stage last year when a homemade video of her performing an acoustic cover of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” made her a YouTube sensation (12 million views to date). The first child of a Japanese mother and Irish-American father, the Los Angeles native first started writing her own songs at age 15 on a $50 guitar she bought on a whim.
Her first album, Unfold, debuted at 29 on the Billboard chart, 2 on the iTunes album chart, 3 on Billboard’s Digital Top 100 album chart and prompted a successful string of film and television placements for her songs including ER, Greek, The Hills, One Tree Hill, and Smallville. Ms. Digby is set to release her debut film “Breathing Underwater” this summer.
Finally, Kollaboration Acoustic 4 will feature a special comedy performance by Kollaboration Founder and former Executive Director Paul “PK” Kim.
