The 2008 album Exist is a  return to form for the Platinum selling, Grammy winning, multi instrumentalist singer & songwriter, Tony Rich, who first blasted on the scene in 1996 with the album 'Words' (Best R&B; Album,'97) and the melancholy acoustic smash single 'Nobody Knows.' Rich, who began his career in music as a songwriter and producer for such industry stalwarts as Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, and Elton John would periodically save songs for his own unscheduled release. This collection of material became known to those working on it as 'the Tony Rich project.'  Exist comes after a period of personal reflection where he delved into other aspects of the fine arts resulting in a deeply personal yet relatable collection of eleven songs including the lead single 'Part The Waves.' The album packaging features Tony's photography and artwork.
