Richard Cheese, whose real name is Mark Jonathan Davis, is an American musician and comedian renowned for his unique and humorous take on contemporary hits with a Las Vegas-style lounge music makeover. Since emerging on the music scene, Cheese has carved out a distinctive niche with his band, Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine, offering an ironic and entertaining juxtaposition of styles. Their work often involves taking popular rock, rap, and heavy metal songs and performing them in a swinging lounge music style, complete with a velvety voice and a swanky, jazz-infused backing band.

Cheese's discography is a testament to his penchant for blending the incongruous, creating tracks that consistently intrigue and entertain audiences with their clever arrangements and tongue-in-cheek delivery. Over the years, he has released a slew of albums that showcase his ability to transform almost any genre into a lounge act, including memorable titles such as "Live From Hollywood," "Besame Queso," and "Licensed to Spill." His comedic take on Cardi B's "WAP," reimagined as a lounge version, and participation in the "Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar" soundtrack with "I Love Boobies" are recent examples of his irreverent style. With a characteristic flair for showmanship and sharp wit, Richard Cheese continues to dazzle crowds, both live and through his recorded works, ensuring that fans never look at their favorite modern songs quite the same way again.
