Thomas Alden Page (May 24, 1967 – March 3, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1990 hit single "I'll Be Your Everything" and was later a music industry executive. Page collaborated with many artists, including New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, Michael Bolton, Diane Warren as well as Malaysian singersAmy Mastura andFauziah Latiff.

Page was born on May 24, 1967 inGlen Ridge, New Jersey. He grew up in nearbyWest Caldwell.^[2] He graduated fromJames Caldwell High School in 1985.^[3] Page took a leave of absence from New York University's Stern School of Business when his music career began to take off. He returned to finish his remaining two years and graduated in 1997.^{[citation needed]}

In 1985, Tommy and his brother, Bill Page, formed a band called Broken Promises in New Jersey. They were signed to Broccoli Rabe Records and released a self-titled four-track EP. Tommy is credited as playing keyboards, piano, and performs backing vocals.^[4] A year later, to help support himself during his first year at Stern, Page worked as a cloakroom attendant in a popular New York nightclub calledNell's. 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 so impressed him that soon Page was introduced toSire Records founderSeymour Stein.^[5] Shortly after, he was asked to write thetheme tune of the filmShag and released it as his first single. Page'sself-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".

The follow-up albumPaintings in My Mind (which he dedicated to his grandmother) gave Page a No. 1 single in the U.S., "I'll Be Your Everything", a song that was written with and features members ofNew Kids on the Block. Other singles from the album that were released after that were "When I Dream of You" and "Turn on the Radio" (another New Kids on the Block collaboration). The album also features "Don't Give Up on Love", a duet with Latin freestyle singerSa-Fire. Sa-Fire and Page co-wrote the song, which was released as a single overseas. Page's third album, released in 1991, was titledFrom the Heart, and his vocals there showcased a wider range with higher notes than previous efforts. On this album, the ballads were more orchestral. Tommy cited the songs in the album were inspired byWilson Phillips. The first single, "Whenever You Close Your Eyes", saw Page working withMichael Bolton andDiane Warren. "Under the Rainbow" and "Madly in Love" also were released as singles. Page also appeared on an episode ofFull House, titled "Crushed", which first aired on January 14, 1992.^[6] In the episode, he sings a special song toStephanie Tanner on her tenth birthday, but spends the following day with her sisterDJ, much to Stephanie's dismay.

As an appreciation to his fans in Asia, Page released another album,A Friend to Rely On, in 1992. It contains a duet withSally Yeh titled "I'm Always Dreaming of You" as well as a cover ofNik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" and a song penned withDonna De Lory (best known asMadonna's backing singer) called "Heaven in Your Eyes". As house music was the current trend, the upbeat songs were produced in such form. In 1993, Page and Latin freestyle singerSa-Fire teamed to create a house-music group called La Casa,^[7][8] also featuring Allan Edwards Tibbett and Dacia Palmer. Page and Sa-Fire wrote and produced three songs, "Show Me the Way", "Get to You" and "Dance to My Music" for the group. The songs appeared onNew Faces,^[9] a house-music compilation on Sire/Warner Bros. Records.

Before releasing his next albumTime in 1994, Page replacedDonny Osmond for three months inAndrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musicalJoseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.^[10] Page concentrated on releasing his following albums in Asia, especially after he signed with the Japanese label Pony Canyon Records.^[11] In 1995, he released his first compilation album,Greatest Hits: Dedicated to You. The same year, Page recorded a duet withTiffany, "Close Our Eyes", for her album,All the Best. His next studio album,Loving You, was released in 1996, containing a duet withAmy Mastura titled "The Best Part" as well as a cover ofJohn Waite's 1984 hit "Missing You".Ten 'Til Midnight, released in 2000, was only available for sale online. In 2003, Page released a DVD collection of his music videos, which was sold through his website. Page was one of the producers on Tennessee Girl's albumGuilty Pleasures.^{[citation needed]}

In 2011, after a successful stint as an executive atWarner Bros. Records,^[12] where he helped to shape the careers ofMichael Bublé,Alanis Morissette,Josh Groban, andGreen Day, among others, he joinedBillboard^[12] magazine as publisher. As a publisher, he created new features such as the Industry Icon Award as well as the infamous Power 100 List.
