B. J. Snowden is an American singer, songwriter and performer.[1][2] A graduate of the Berklee College of Music,[3] she earns her living as a school teacher, teaching music in schools from Boston to Philadelphia.
Snowden's work has been labeled outsider music. She was featured in Irwin Chusid's Songs in the Key of Z: The Curious Universe of Outsider Music (2000) and her song "America" was included on the second volume of music produced and annotated by Chusid to accompany the book. Her music was frequently featured on Chusid's WFMU show, though she is ambivalent about her spot alongside some of the musicians in Chusid's book.[4]
Her album Life in the USA and Canada, which debuted in the fall of 1996, received mention in the New York Press, Magnet and other alternative publications.[citation needed] Snowden appeared on MTV's Oddville, Comedy Central's The Daily Show, and NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where her song "Canada" was featured on the "Do Not Play" list. She counts among her more prestigious fans Fred Schneider of the B-52's and Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys.[citation needed]
