Early life

Alix Page was born November 19th, 2001 in Orange County, California [1] . While attending The Orange County School of the Arts in Santa Ana, Page began making music, where she met her bandmates Caleb and Andrew. The two originally were a part of Page's previous band, and they continued to assist Page when she opted to pursue a solo career. [2] [3]

Growing up, Alix Page's grandma performed in pageants as a classical voice singer. [4] She would also occasionally sing at celebration of life’s her father, Keith Page, would lead. [5]

Page attended USC Thornton School of Music [6] and is currently represented by Wasserman (company). [7]

Career

Alix Page wrote her first song, "Here Now", in high school during sophomore year followed by the song "Daisy". Both songs tied back to what was happening in Alix's personal and educational life at the time. [4]

In 2020, she released her first single "Stripes" followed by her second single "Frank" as independent releases. [8]

Her 2021 single "Radiohead" was written about a dream Page had about moving into an apartment with an ex and was recorded in one take. [9]

In 2022, Page collaborated with the Irish Singer-Songwriter and Actor, Mark McKenna, for the song "Pulling Teeth" inspired by an ex of Page. It's accompanying video was shot in Long Beach, California. [10] At age 19, Page released her debut EP in 2022 titled Old News. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] This EP included songs such as "True + Honest", which she wrote when she was 16, when she had written "Stripes" and "Frank". [16] She also states that her song "Radiohead", featured on this EP, was inspired by an ex boyfriend who loved Radiohead. [16] "Radiohead", along with "June Gloom" and "25" were written mid-late 2020 and launched a "new era of new songs" for Page. [16] Her song "June Gloom" was heavily inspired by Holly Humberstones song "Overkill" [16] , and Humberstone has soundtracked a lot of Alix's life.

"Goose", Page's 2023 EP, was written in inspiration of her friends and was produced with the help of Brett Kramer, her music program Director's husband. [4] It was released by AWAL / Better Days. [17] [18]

In July 2024, Page released "Girlfriend" which was co-written by Alix Page, Andy Seltzer, and Lucy Healey about "meeting someone new, trying to play it cool, and sucking at it". [19] Her upcoming EP was recorded at Jazzcats Studio. [20] This release was followed in November 2024 with "Break The Band Up", written by Page , Andy Seltzer & Cameron Hale and produced by Hale & Andrew Pham.
