Tommy Page music biography continued...

playing the piano at age eight and learned keyboards at age 12, joining his brother in a band. He moved to New York City after high school and got a job at a club called Nell's Page, where he met the president of Sire Records. This ultimately resulted in a recording contract with the label in 1988. That same year, Page debuted with his self-titled album which faired respectively in Asia, but failed to make waves in North America. After a chance meeting with then superstars New Kids On the Block, Page recorded one of their tunes—"I'll Be Your Everything," which catapulted to #1 on the Billboard charts and landed Page a gig as the opening act on the New Kids' Step By Step tour. The song appeared on Page's sophomore album Paintings in My Mind, and soon he was seen on talk shows like Joan Rivers and Regis and Kathie Lee and was featured on the covers of every teen magazine. Page also went on his own sold-out world tour.



In the United States, sales of subsequent songs flattened and an affiliation with Warner Brothers fizzled, but Page hooked up with the label's cousin in Japan, where he was still extremely popular. Soon after, he headed over to the Asian Pony Canyon Records and released two new albums Time in 1994 and Loving You in 1996. Following the economic downturn in Japan, Page came back to the U.S. and recorded one final album before devoting himself to producing other artists. Still, in a recording career that spanned over a decade, he released seven albums and wore the crown of teen idol proudly.
