Richard Marx at Soka Performing Arts Center

Richard Marx is a GRAMMY-winning singer, songwriter, and producer whose career has spanned four decades of chart success and creative reinvention. With over 45 million albums sold, one billion streams, and fourteen No. 1 singles to his name (including “Right Here Waiting,” “Hazard” & “Hold On to the Nights”), Marx is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts, and one of only two artists—alongside Michael Jackson—to write a No. 1 song in four different decades. Marx’s work extends far beyond his own recordings, having written and produced for artists including Luther Vandross, Keith Urban, NSYNC, Barbra Streisand and Burt Bacharach.

His latest album After Hours (featuring Rod Stewart & Kenny G) debuted on the Billboard jazz charts for the 1st time in his illustrious 40-year career, and was praised by The New York Times, USA Today, Billboard and more. Marx also hosts the hit podcast Stories To Tell (with guests including Paul Stanley, Rick Springfield & Kenny Loggins) and lives with his wife, Cuban-American TV host Daisy Fuentes in Malibu, CA.
