David Tao (Chinese: 陶喆; pinyin: Táo Zhé; born July 11, 1969) is a popular Taiwanese singer-songwriter. He is well-known for his signature R&B tunes and for having popularized this genre in the Mandopop industry.
Working as a salesman, he was offered a job by reputed Taiwanese producer Wang Zhi Ping, when the latter found out who he was. So Tao went back to Taiwan, initially writing, and later producing songs for many singers before releasing his self-titled album David Tao in 1997. He has since released four more albums, a live concert recording and a compilation of his best songs.
