Red Carpet Mini-Q&A: Alternative/Soul Recording Artist TONY RICH (Detroit, Michigan)

The Date: Late June 2K9
The Locale: Joe's Pub, New York City
The Event: VSessions Music Showcase (VIBE Magazine)

RG: What's your opinion on the music of today compared to years past?

TR: It's simply different....Music evolves and it also retracts back. Some people like to follow trends; some like to create their own flow. As long as I keep doing what I do, then I'm providing some variety. There's certain music that I don't necessarily like, but I appreciate the fact that it's providing some variety...People like to have choices.

RG: Best advice you can give to someone trying to get into the music business and succeed in it?

TR: Be true to who you are. Your uniqueness and determination will get get you further than trying to go about it in a strategic method. People think it's a 'textbook' way and it really isn't.

*Rich's most notable hit song is 'Noboby Knows' from 1996 under 'The Tony Rich Project' moniker.
