Richard Page is best known as the lead singer and bassist of the 1980s band Mr. Mister, which gained international fame with hits like "Broken Wings" and "Kyrie." Born on May 16, 1953, in Keokuk, Iowa, Page started his career in music in the 70s, touring as a backup musician and contributing to various albums as a session singer and player before co-founding Mr. Mister in the early 1980s. Aside from his success with the band, Page is also an accomplished songwriter and has written hits for artists such as Madonna ("I'll Remember") and Josh Groban.
Following the disbandment of Mr. Mister in the early 90s, Page focused on a solo career and continued to establish himself as a formidable musician and songwriter. His solo albums include "Shelter Me" (1996), which reflects his transition from the band's front-man to an independent artist, showcasing his rich, emotive vocal style and sophisticated songwriting. Over the years, he released several more works like "Peculiar Life" (2010) and "Songs from the Sketchbook" (2011), in which he exhibited an introspective look at his life and career through a more stripped-down, acoustic approach. His more recent endeavors include a holiday-themed EP "5 Songs For Christmas" and other releases like "Goin' South" and "Diamonds," which reveal a musician still deeply connected to his craft and exploring new avenues of his sound. Richard Page's influence extends beyond his hits with Mr. Mister, as he continues to resonate with audiences and peers alike with his heartfelt performances and meaningful songwriting.
