Career

In 2009, Page won David Foster's Foster & Friends Competition [4] singing "Because we Believe". In 2011, Page was called onto the stage at a Josh Groban concert at Madison Square Garden, and sang "The Prayer" with Groban. A YouTube video of that performance has since garnered over 10 million views. [5] [6] [7] [8]

Page contacted Fernando Varela via YouTube, [9] and the two found a third member to form Forte. The group then auditioned for season eight of America's Got Talent, where they advanced to the finals and finished in fourth place. [2]

Soon after their appearances, Forte released a self-titled album on the Columbia Records label. Page said, "part of my vision for Forte is people from different cultures creating a harmony together, one sound. We've had 16- to 18-year-old kids come up to us on the street and say 'Would never have listened to music like this before, but we just love your voices and the sound.'" [10]

In December 2013, Page performed at the lighting of the UNICEF Snowflake, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in New York City. [11] In 2017, Page was honored at the March Bistro Awards Critics' Pick Madame Mathieu's Soiree, put on by Cabaret Patroness Madame Mathieu. [12]

In addition to his solo performances and appearances with Forte, Page continues to perform with his brother Zach as the Brothers Page; their Instagram account has gained over a million followers. The duo add a new video to their Instagram profile each week. [13] In 2017, they performed at the #LOVE IS LOVE concert at W Times Square. [14]
