“Richard Certified-Platinum recording artist Richard Poon is the Philippines’ multi-awarded Big-Band Crooner. This 100% Chinese singer’s unique, fresh brand of music(Big-Band/Standards), and cool, soothing voice has made him charmingly stand out in a crowded sea of pop male balladeers.

His mother is a famous opera singer in Taiwan. His father is the culinary genius behind the 30-year old Chinese restaurant “Mr. Poon.” Richard sings the “Standards”— these are immortal melodies written in the 1950′s that have survived the test of time, popularized by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Matt Monro, Paul Anka, Nat King Cole.

Breaking into the music industry in January 2008, his debut solo album “I’ll Take Care Of You”(MCA Music) soared to Gold and Platinum status and continues to be one of the country’s top selling records today. His hit single “I’ll Take Care Of You” has then become the favorite serenade of couples in Philippine wedding circles.”
