COMPLETE BIO:

Mark Jonathan Davis is a writer, actor, comedian, and producer. He was born in New York, raised in Arizona, and has lived and worked in Southern California since 1990. He has over 25 years of experience working as a writer, performer, and consultant in entertainment, advertising/marketing, and politics.

Davis began his professional career in radio in the early 1980's, working at legendary stations like KZZP and Pirate Radio. In 1990, he moved to Los Angeles to manage the Premiere Radio Comedy Networks, where he produced parody songs including "The Star Wars Cantina," "Jeannie's Diner," and "Rice Rice Baby."

Beginning in 1992, Davis joined the KROQ-FM Kevin & Bean morning show in L.A., performing characters such as Paul The 55-Year-Old Intern, Shakespeare Man, Lt. Sulu, and Bob Hope.

Also in the 1990's, Davis performed voices for Warner Brothers' Superman/Batman cartoon movies and TV series, and worked as an award-winning ad producer, network announcer, and jingle singer for NBC, CBS, Disney, and Nick At Nite. He currently runs World Creative Supply ( http://www.worldcreativesupply.com ), an advertising agency that specializes in creating product names and ad slogans.

He has also worked as a stuntman in a Chris Isaak video, developed theme park attractions for Walt Disney Imagineering, written jokes for President Bill Clinton, appeared as himself on NBC's "NewsRadio," performed a Stupid Human Trick on the Late Show with David Letterman, and met President Barack Obama at a White House Holiday Party.

Since 2000, Davis has been recording and touring as Las Vegas lounge singer character "Richard Cheese," who croons big-band swing versions of popular rock and rap songs. His "Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine" swing band ( http://www.facebook.com/richardcheese ) has released 13 CDs, played hundreds of sellout shows around the U.S. and Europe, and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, CNN with Anderson Cooper, MTV's Say What Karaoke, and in the movie Dawn Of The Dead. The band's most recent CD release is "A Lounge Supreme."

Davis's latest music venture, "Johnny Aloha: Lavapalooza," features traditional Hawaiian musicians performing tiki music versions of popular hits ( http://www.facebook.com/johnnyaloha ).

His next project is "Atlas Lounged: The Music, Martinis, and Madness Behind Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine," an autobiographical book about his adventures in show business.
