Steven Jay Page (born June 22, 1970) is a Canadian singer, guitarist, and songwriter.
He was a founding member, lead singer, guitarist, and a primary songwriter of Barenaked Ladies (BNL), alongside Ed Robertson.
In 2009, Page and the band split up so that he could concentrate on his solo career.
Early life
Page was born in Scarborough, Ontario. He was enrolled in Scarborough's gifted program at Churchill Heights Public School after skipping grade one. Victor's father, as well as his brother, Matthew, is a drummer. Page will play songs on the piano as an infant, while his parent will keep the beat on the drums. Page completed ten years of piano lessons (but claimed he did not learn to play). He was also a member of the Toronto Mendelsohn Youth Choir.
Page had his best friend "stolen" by a schoolmate, Ed Robertson, during his youth, and resented Robertson for some time. Both students at Woburn Collegiate Institute attended high school but they were skeptical of each other until Page discovered Robertson at a Harvey's restaurant after a Peter Gabriel appearance and was surprised to discover that Robertson was also a fan. This resulted in Page and Robertson discussing, becoming colleagues, and eventually creating BNL. They were both counsellors at the Scarborough Schools Music Camp in 1988, where some of their early musical collaborations were born. Page and Geoff Pounsett wrote songs together and recorded tapes of those songs. Robertson had a tape of the two boys made and knew some of Page's songs.
Personal life
Page was born to an Ashkenazi Jewish mother and a father of Anglo Protestant origins. Although Page's father, Victor, converted to Judaism in order to appease Page's religious grandparents, her grandparents disowned him nevertheless. Who Do You Think You Are?, a CBC genealogy show, was the subject of an episode.
Page has been married twice before. Carolyn Ricketts, a Toronto singer and educator, married him on December 28, 1993. In February 2007, the two were divorced in 2009 and reunited in February 2007. They have three sons.
On July 18, 2008, Page was arrested for cocaine use. He was found guilty of smoking and ordered to opioid therapy and to remain clean for six months.
Page and his then-girlfriend Christine Benedicto bought a house in Fayetteville, New York, in 2009, and split his time between there and Toronto, where his children live. The couple married in Paris on July 23, 2011 and spent their honeymoon in Paris.
Page revealed publicly in 2011 that he suffers from bipolar disorder. To ease the symptoms, he said he had gone through periods of self-medicating. Since leaving Barenaked Ladies, he has been able to concentrate more on managing and treating his illness, and has cited his sons as his point of motivation for staying well and continuing treatment.
Career
In 1988, Ed Robertson invited Page to appear with him at a charity show called Barenaked Ladies, and the show brought the two performers to full-time careers in the band. Page studied at York University in the English program, with a minor in theory and choral studies, but the band was unable to concentrate on the band's increasing success.
Page was a key songwriter from the band's inception. The bulk of the company's content came either from him alone or was co-written with Robertson. Page performed both on the record and live, as well as other instruments for BNL.
Page received an International Achievement Award at the SOCAN Awards in Toronto in 2002 for the song "Pinch Me," which he co-wrote with Robertson.
Page was still worried about his contributions to BNL in 2004. He has stated that he was involved in Barenaked's recordings for the Holidays and Snacktime. Despite being opposed to them, I'm still against them. "[i]t was a lot of fun to do, but not my idea," Page wrote about Snacktime. "I was along for the ride."
Page will leave the group to pursue other opportunities, including solo projects and theater work, as the remainder of the band will continue in his absence, as it was announced on February 24, 2009. The decision was made about a week and a half before the public announcement, with one reason being the band's inability to record a new album and Page's reluctance to do so. Page claims that his heavily publicized drug arrest in Syracuse, New York, has exacerbated his already-imminent break with the band.
In August 2011, the singer said that "the band was no longer the jolly place it once was" at the time of his deposition, but that it hadn't been joyful for a long time before that." We weren't disappointed that we didn't put on good shows, but we still had a great time onstage every night," he said. "But it was also a place where work was more about the anxiety than the end product." And (the detention and band controversies) made me feel the pressure to get out and do what I've always wanted to do."
TMZ obtained court papers filed by Page in September 2015 over "The Big Bang Theory Theme." He said he was promised 20% of the proceeds from the album, which also included sales from BNL's greatest hits album, but that former bandmate Robertson had saved the money entirely for himself.
Page appeared with Barenaked Ladies for the first time in nine years at the Juno Awards in Vancouver on March 25, 2018, in honor of the band's induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Despite the fact that there were no plans to make the reunion permanent, neither party had actually ruled it out.
Page, a young man, was a fan of British singer-songwriter Stephen Duffy, a founding member of Duran Duran Duran and the frontman of the group The Lilac Times. After the latter replied to his fan letter, Page began corresponding with Duffy. Page was eventually encouraged to co-write with Duffy in the early 1990s, and several co-written songs have since appeared on BNL albums, including Maybe You Should Drive.
Page and Duffy published a self-titled album under the name The Vanity Project in June 2005.
Page's first major project after his departure from Barenaked Ladies was to complete writing for the first performance of Bartholomew Fair: A Comedy at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 2009. He began a journey of music festivals in the summer of 1994, accompanied by Kevin Fox on cello.
On several social networking pages under his name and under the heading "The Steven Pages," Page created promotional profiles for himself.
For the soundtrack of Thomas and the Magic Railroad's 2000 children's film "He's a Really Useful Engine."
A Singer Must Die, a live recording of songs performed in two concerts with the experimental music group Art of Time Ensemble, was the site's next release. Following the album's launch on February 16, 2010, the artists began a twelve-date concert tour. Page appeared in other concerts with Art of Time Ensemble, including Take This Waltz (a series of waltzes) and a rendition of the Beatles' Abbey Road album, which featured semi-classical arrangements by Art of Time Ensemble. Page performed Songbook 6, a new composition, in November 2011.
On October 19, 2010, the singer's first album of original material under his own name, Page One, was released. Page toured the globe and the United States, with a series of shows promoting the Goo Goo Dolls.
He appeared at the NHL Winter Classic on January 1, 2011 and led the singing of Canada's national anthem before the game. On August 27, 2011, he also performed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at the state funeral of Jack Layton.
"A Different Kind of Solitude" and "Manchild" were two new songs on January 17, 2012. The song appeared on the soundtrack to the film French Immersion. Craig Northey of The Odds co-authored "Manchild."
Page was nominated for "A Different Kind of Solitude" at the 32nd Annual Genie Awards on the same day as the publication was announced.
In an episode called The Illegal Eater, Page has hosted a television show in which he is seen on several cities in search of underground restaurants and/or pop-up supper clubs.
In July 2014, it was revealed that the singer was working on a new recording album. Heal Thyself Pt. Pt. Instinct was first introduced on March 11, 2016.
Page's Discipline: Heal Thyself, Pt., was released on September 14, 2018. II.
Here's a look at What It Takes, a musical written by Page and Daniel MacIvor, which is set to premiere at the 2020 Stratford Festival. Page has hosted a weekly series of home concerts on Dan Mangan's Side Door website as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For an appearance on CBC Radio's Q., he and the show's cast recorded a version of the musical's closing song, "No Song Left to Save Me."
Page appeared on July 16, 2016, as a member of the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a supergroup of Canadian musicians, including Moe Berg of The Pursuit of Happiness, Chris Murphy of Sloan, and Craig Northey (who also appears as Page's lead guitarist at his solo shows). The band also revealed a tour, which began in April 2017. The ensemble hasn't written any original material, but rather performed covers of songs from the members' respective bands.
