With his raw, relentless voice, powerful lyrical skills and confident stage presence, Mike Page is a star in the making. Page's positive energy, dedication and artistic versatility have earned him tremendous respect from his peers and fans across the Midwest. Page is prepared to take his career to another level, challenging the entire hip-hop industry to do the same.
Hip-Hop artist Michael DeJuan Page was born in Elgin, IL into a life of struggling and hardship. With his mother and father incapable of raising him and his four sisters, their Grandmother Mildred Starks took it upon herself to raise her grandchildren. She was determined to instill the same morals, values, and hard work ethic that she believed in so strongly. As a young, newly disciplined child, Page began uncovering his amazing talent for writing, but never developed an intense passion for creating rhymes until witnessing Jay-Z perform live at the United Center in Chicago. Jay-Z's ability to capture an entire audience with his compelling lyrics inspired young Page. He began competing in neighborhood battles against rappers twice his age - and winning.
Grandmother Stark's discipline, love and dedication to keeping Page away from the street life gave him the opportunity to graduate high school and pursue his dreams of becoming a hoop star. He moved to Iowa on a college basketball scholarship; it was here where he first introduced to a recording studio. After just one recording session, Page's hoop dreams became a thing of the past as his eyes were opened to the opportunities awaiting him in the hip-hop industry.
Page is a hustler, hungry for success, while remaining true to himself and his fans, making him one of the Midwest's finest. Before even signing to a major record label, Page has accomplished numerous feats that have made others in the industry take him and his music seriously. He has graded the front cover of On Campus magazine, built his MySpace page profile views to 60,000 with 8,000 friends and having his hit single played 5,000 times in two months. He has toured throughout the country building his fan base, opening for artists including Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, T.I., Young Joc, UGK, Webbie, Huey and Ryan Leslie.
His hit new single, 'Show Yo Swag,' is now getting regular requested spins on Minneapolis' #1 hip-hop radio station B96. He recently completed his first music video and was featured on BET's 'RapCity.' While his career is progressing to another level, Page continues to work hard in the studio, constantly writing and creating new hits to build up his catalogue to over 100 completed songs. He is currently working with national DJs producing mix tapes and completing his new untitled independent album.
"I will stay humble and I will always keep working hard," Page resolves. "Everything is about self-improvement and overcoming obstacles. It's not about what I want to achieve; it's about how far I can go. When God tells me 'stop,' I'll stop. But I'm going to ride this till the wheels fall off until that happens." |
