Martin Page
Martin George Page (born 23 September 1959) is an English singer-songwriter and bassist. Page has collaborated with artists such as Paul Young, Starship, Robbie Robertson, Earth, Wind & Fire, Heart, Robbie Williams and Go West.
Page was born in Southampton, Hampshire, England, to Alan Richard Page (an aviation engineer) and Ruth Pamela Page. During a good portion of his childhood, Martin moved with his family from military base to military base as a result of his father's career. During those times, he stated that he spent much of his time listening to Peter Gabriel, the Beatles and Motown.
Page formed the pop group Q-Feel with his friend Brian Fairweather. Q-Feel experienced success with hit single "Dancing in Heaven (Orbital Be-Bop)". Soon after, Page and Fairweather moved to Los Angeles, where they met music executive Diane Poncher. She saw potential in Page and Fairweather and eventually became their manager.
At first Page and Fairweather collaborated with artists such as Kim Carnes, on her 1983 album Cafe Racers, Earth, Wind & Fire on their 1983 LP Electric Universe, and Barbra Streisand on her 1984 album Emotion. Page also played keyboards for Ray Parker Jr., on the 1984 Ghostbusters theme song. Page then went on to work with Elton John's frequent lyricist Bernie Taupin. The duo performed on Maurice White's 1985 self titled album and wrote "We Built This City" for Starship's 1985 LP Knee Deep in the Hoopla together with "These Dreams" on Heart's 1985 album Heart, both of which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Page later co-wrote songs for Neil Diamond's 1986 LP Headed for the Future, Lee Ritenour's 1986 album Earth Run, and Chaka Khan's 1986 LP Destiny.
He again collaborated with Taupin on his 1987 album Tribe and co-wrote a song for Atlantic Starr's 1987 LP All in the Name of Love. Page also co-wrote for Starship's 1987 LP No Protection and collaborated with Robbie Robertson on his 1987 self-titled album. That album has been certified gold in the UK by the BPI.
Page went on to write for Earth, Wind & Fire's 1988 LP The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 2. Page was also a co-producer on Tom Jones's 1988 LP Move Closer and Paul Young's 1990 album Other Voices. Other Voices has been certified gold in the UK by the BPI. He then co-produced Robbie Robertson's Grammy Award-nominated 1991 LP Storyville. He later co-wrote Go West's hit singles "King of Wishful Thinking" and "Faithful". He co-wrote the title song "Sing" for the soundtrack of the film of the same name.[citation needed]
Page has also collaborated with Robbie Williams and Josh Groban.
During 1994, Page issued his debut solo album In the House of Stone and Light. The title track, which he wrote reflecting on a visit to the Grand Canyon, was issued the same year. As a single, "In the House of Stone and Light" reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
