Artist
Latin • Dembow
Mr. Chino, also known as Mister Chino, was a Dominican urban artist from Puerto Plata, born Young Dae Pea Son to Korean parents. Known as “el chino que canta dembow,” he built his name through charisma, humor, a distinctive cartoon-like vocal delivery, and his signature phrase “¡Chifuio!” Before music, he studied dentistry and worked as a DJ, later becoming a recognizable figure in Dominican urban culture. His best-known work is “Tamo Ranquiao,” released in 2014, which became his breakout dembow record and gained major attention online and on Dominican TV. His catalog also includes “Karate Y Un Trompon,” “Bien De Pintura,” and collaborations such as “Hoy Estoy - Remix” with Vega el más buscado, Boogi Man, Izeber, and Felix A. Vega. Through these releases, Mr. Chino became remembered for bringing humor, personality, and a unique Dominican-Asian identity into the dembow scene.
