Thomas Alden "Tommy" Page (May 24, 1970 – March 4, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1990 hit single, "I'll Be Your Everything", and later a music industry executive.
Born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, to parents Fred and Miriam Page, he grew up in nearby West Caldwell. He graduated from James Caldwell High School with the class of 1985 at the age of 15. He took a leave of absence from New York University's Stern School of Business when his music career started to take off. He returned to finish his remaining two years and graduated in 1997.
To help support himself during his freshman year at Stern (then 16), Page worked as a cloakroom attendant in a popular New York nightclub called Nell's, taking the coats of stars such as Whitney Houston, Rob Lowe, and the Beastie Boys. The job gave Page a chance to play his demo tape to the house DJ, who then used the demos as part of his club mixes. The unknown sounds were so impressive that soon Page was introduced to Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, who had previously launched the careers of Madonna and the Ramones.
When Page turned 18, he was asked to write the theme tune of the film Shag and later released it as his first single. Page's self-titled debut album was released by Sire/Warner Bros. Records in November 1988 and contained hits such as "A Zillion Kisses," "Turning Me On," "I Think I'm in Love," and "A Shoulder to Cry On".
