Tony Rich

Contemporary R&B singer/songwriter Tony Rich first attracted attention as a staff writer at LaFace Records, where he authored hits for acts including Boyz Ii Men, Johnny Gill, Tlc, and Toni Braxton. As The Tony Rich Project, he debuted in 1995 with Words, writing, performing, and producing every note of the LP himself; after scoring the Grammy-nominated hits "Like a Woman" and "Nobody Knows," he released 1998's Birdseye, 2003's Resurrected, and 2006's Pictures. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
