| OFFICIAL BIO |
SHORT SUMMARY:
America's loudest
lounge singer Richard Cheese performs swingin' Vegas versions of rock,
rap, and Top40 hits, "swankifying" contemporary songs into traditional
pop vocal standards. Cheese has sold more than 175,000 CDs since
2000; his albums
include Lounge Against The Machine, Tuxicity, I'd Like A Virgin, Aperitif For
Destruction, The Sunny Side Of The Moon, his Christmas album Silent
Nightclub, his TV Themes album Dick At Nite, his live album
VIVA LA VODKA, and his all-new 9th album OK BARTENDER, all
available in stores and at
iTunes. He's working on three more all-new CDs, Lavapalooza,
Back In Black Tie,
and A Lounge Supreme. The
hardest working Dick in show business has played sellout shows all over the
world, from Las Vegas to London, from Portland to Portugal, from Honolulu to
Hollywood.
Richard Cheese's songs have been featured in the movie
Dawn Of The Dead and the NBC-TV shows Las Vegas and
Passions, and he's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, CNN with Anderson
Cooper, KROQ's Kevin & Bean Show, Opie & Anthony, Howard Stern, MTV's Say What Karaoke?,
Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends, and as the house band 20
times on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly.
With his snappy jazz trio, his tiger-striped tuxedo, and his enormous
microphone, Richard Cheese presents the perfect mix of music, martini, and
madcap. Swank that!
