Bio

Madam Snowflake is a singer, songwriter, pianist, dancer, and producer. Her music is fueled by her love of nature and passion for oneness.

Snowflake (aka Emily Richards) explores trails less traveled. At the turn of the millenium, Emily was one of the first artists to make music available on the internet. With over 2 million unique downloads, she was the most popular artist on MP3.com, and headlined their 50-city tour — where 100 bands opened for her across the United States and Canada. During this tour, tragedy struck when Emily’s little sister Annie was killed by a drunk driver. And that changed everything.

Dedicating her art to something deeper, Emily recreated herself again and again — until Madam Snowflake emerged like a butterfly from a chrysalis. Singing a message of harmony, with our planet and one another, Snowflake felt compelled to share her music in new ways.

Snowflake first launched to stardom in the Dutch hardstyle scene by sharing her original vocals at ccMixter.org where she opened her vocals to DJs around the globe. In June 2024, she performed live at the massive summer festival Defqon alongside Act of Rage and DJ Promo & Tha Playah. Madam Snowflake’s passion for collaboration with other creators has a viral impact — her voice is featured in thousands of YouTube videos, remixes, and podcasts and can be heard serenading some of the biggest festivals in the world.

In the coming months, Snowflake will be releasing the biggest undertaking of her illustrious career. She’s written her first musical, Rise Up Babylon — which will be released as an audiobook and concept album in the fall of 2025. Snowflake produced this masterpiece alongside Steve Edwards and John Jones, featuring notable musicians Steve Ferrone, Randy Cooke, Jason Brock, and the Moscow Metropoliation Orchestra.

Before Rise Up Babylon’s anticipated launch, Madam Snowflake is releasing a documentary album and video series — her digital journals about creating the musical out of highly unusual circumstances. Road to Rise Up Babylon is set for release this summer.

Snowflake’s passion is not limited to her music. Founder of nonprofit AWAKE Community, Emily is a dedicated environmentalist, continually working to walk the walk in new ways: from volunteering in organic school gardens to living zero-waste; from eating a plant-based diet to driving an electric car powered by solar panels; from organizing beach clean-ups to leading spiritual retreats. Madam Snowflake believes each step makes a difference, and that awakening with awareness will enable humanity to continue to find more harmonious ways to live -- together and with all other beings.

Snowflake is the CEO of ArtisTech Media, the company that operates ccMixter.org. To learn more about her causes, visit emilyrichards.com.
