Best known as the most downloaded Indie pop/rock artist on MP3.com, Emily Richards is singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles. With over 3 million unique Internet downloads and 10 albums on her own label, Emily is now President of MP3tunes, the newest Michael Robertson Indie music site, (formerly MP3.com). Shrugging her years of classical training, Emily's rock 'n roll lifestyle includes a lot of touring. In '04, Emily toured the entire year with Rock the Vote, using her music as a voice for freedom and education. Summer '03, Hard Rock Café & RADD supported her west regional tour that included drunk driving presentations to high schools and colleges. Emily was selected from 70,000 artists to headline the 50-city Club MP3.com Summer 2000 Tour sponsored by House of Blues. And in '96, Emily opened for Martina McBride during the Olympic Torch Across America celebration. More important to Emily than all of her successes is her message. During the final leg of her MP3.com tour, Emily's 19-year-old sister, Annie, was killed by a drunk driver near her home in Utah. This tragedy reshaped Emily's music and led her to form nonprofit AWAKE Community (www.awakecommunity.org) with guitarist Jason Brock to focus on educating youth and spreading the "don't drink and drive" message, among other human issues. Emily began studying piano at the age of five and started songwriting at eleven. She is an accomplished vocalist and modern dancer.
