BIOGRAPHY:
Growing up in a log cabin in rural Vermont, Morgan Page began
composing electronic-oriented music at the age of 14. By 15,
his work appeared on local college radio and commercial stations
in his hometown of Burlington, and began to spread to other
cities. Towards the end of high school, Morgan got his own radio
show at The University of Vermont, filling in for a friend on
a popular Saturday night slot. This turned into a weekly endeavor
that introduced Morgan to the vast assortment of electronic
music that came by the boxload every week.
After
hearing Terry Lee Brown Jr.'s "Chocolate Chords",
Swayzak's "Snowboarding in Argentina" and Barada's
"Strategies For A Deeper Design" tech-house soon became
an obsession and a way of life. During the summer of his last
years in high school Morgan interned with Rick Salzer at Plastic
City in NYC, who introduced him to the music of Timewriter and
the world of the music industry. Inspired by the sound and vision
of Plastic City, Morgan saved up all his money and began buying
studio gear.
Armed
with an Akai MPC2000 and a few borrowed synthesizers Morgan
wrote the Maple Grooves EP on a sweltering August evening for
Salzer's Fiji imprint and never looked back. Morgan later continue
his college radio career at WERS 88.9 FM in Boston, hosting
a weekly mixshow for three years and becoming station manager
of the largest and most influential college radio station in
the country.
Now,
at age 26 with several remixes under his belt for Nelly Furtado,
Norah Jones, Tegan & Sara, Ashlee Simpson, Angie Stone,
Delerium, and dozens of critically acclaimed EPs out on labels
like Bedrock, SAW, and Force Tracks featuring collaborations
with Colette, Gregory Shiff, and Astrid Suryanto - Morgan has
established himself as a profound producer and highly sought-after
remixer.
Recently,
his music has garnered support from a wide-range of top level
DJs including, Sasha, Deep Dish, Danny Tenaglia, Dave Seaman,
Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Mark Farina, Gabriel & Dresden,
Kaskade, and Jason Bentley. Several companies have also chosen
Morgan's music to set the tone for their movies, tv shows, and
retail stores including: Sephora, Victoria's Secret, Chanel,
Armani, Adidas, Nike, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ecko Clothing,
CBS, and The Showtime Channel.
Currently,
Morgan lives in Los Angeles. Morgan recently signed with Nettwerk
Records and will be releasing his new album "Elevate"
in March 2008. |
