Simply put, Michael Paige is the new International Voice of Romance.
Singing in four languages, Paige’s appeal is universal, cutting across geographic and generational boundaries. He sings and writes a wide range of music — love songs, dance music, current hits and standards with deep passion that gives life to the lyrics.
Born in New York to parents who, he remembers, “always sang” to Paige and his three siblings. He began to study piano and as a child he played in the New York Children’s Orchestra. He was singing in his high school choir when “it hit me one day. I suddenly realized that I wanted to make my life in music. He began to work immediately and studied at the prestigious Mannes College of Music.
“I performed at The Piano Bar in New York City. I was underage, but no one realized that,” Paige says.
He came to Las Vegas for a gig and stayed, enrolling in the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in music. Now working on a Master’s degree, Paige works steadily.
He cites as influences the Beatles, Sinatra, Celia Cruz, Edith Piaf and Charles Aznavour. The composers he favors include Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Leonard Bernstein, Ravel and the Gershwins. He names Love Is Here To Stay as his favorite song.
“My taste is eclectic and I am always a student. When I hear something I like, I do research about the composer. There’s something in the music I like best that draws me to learn about the person who composed it.”
“Music is a big part of who I am and the music I perform reflects my life,” he says. “It is such a pleasure to sing and to watch the audience respond. It’s what I love to do and I feel deeply blessed that I can do it.”
It was my pleasure to play "Dance" on my weekly, 30-minute podcast featuring mainstream, independent music. The direct link to the show is: http://indiemusicsampler.com/2009/07/17/ims-141/
In a few days, the song will also be added to Indie Music Sampler radio which plays out some of the best in independent music commercial-free 24x7.
Blessings, Paul the music lover Indie Music Sampler

The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at... DAILY :)
