Christy Paige Born to share music, Christy Paige came from a family of musicians that helped shape her prodigious ability in both true expression and genuine performance throughout her youth. Growing up wasn't always easy for Christy, yet she picked up the guitar at 12 years old and never put it down. Like most great artist, her early life was full of strife and heartbreaking situations. Where most would falter, she gained strength and resolve, much of which you can hear in her song writing and overwhelming performances. Un-relenting and always honest, Christy reminds you why music is so important and defines the difference between a true artist and the manufactured banality that populates the airwaves. At the tender age of 18, realizing the only way to grow and share her ability, Christy packed her few belongings and just under $50 in cash along with her determination into a beat up car (which she also called home for a little while) and headed to Los Angeles. Knowing not one soul in the toughest town for musicians, she wowed any audience that would listen with her voice, a beat up guitar, and the passion that continues to grow. She quickly gained attention from anyone who heard even a few seconds of these performances, and the offers started flying. Christy refused to "sell out" and did what any young acoustic female singer/songwriter would do: She organized a hard rock band comprised of talented and well connected people.

Bio
SINGER/SONGWRITER CHRISTY PAIGE BASED OUT OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ORIGINALLY FROM SAN JOSE, GOT AN EARLY START SONGWRITING AT AGE NINE. PAIGE IS THE OLDEST OF THREE SISTERS AND HAS OVERCOME MANY STRUGGLES IN HER LIFE. PAIGE DECIDED TO LET THE WORLD IN ON HER JOURNEY THROUGH HER CRAFT OF MUSIC.
ALTHOUGH SHE DIDN’T START WRITING AND SINGING UNTIL MUCH LATER, PAIGE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DESTINED FOR AT AGE SIX. HER FATHER, DAVE ADAMS, IS ALSO AN ARTIST AND HAS PLAYED WITH, AND HAS RELATIONSHIPS WITH, A NUMBER OF INFLUENTIAL MUSICIANS; INCLUDING LEGENDARY ROCK SENSATION JOURNEY AND THE TUBES. ADAMS, ALSO A MUSICIAN, HELPED HER COME UP WITH THE NAME “CHRISTY PAIGE” WHEN SHE WAS 15 YEARS OLD. ONE OF THE BIGGEST INFLUENCERS ON BOTH PAIGE AND ADAMS WAS LEAD GUITARIST JIMMY PAGE OF THE FAMED LED ZEPPELIN. ADAMS WANTED HER TO BE DIFFERENT, SO THEY DECIDED TO PUT AN “I” IN PAIGE. PAIGE WAS LIVING IN LA PLAYING MUSIC AS A STREET PERFORMER TO PAY HER BILLS BEFORE TAKING THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS HER DREAM. SHE RECORDED HER FIRST ALBUM TWO YEARS AGO, BUT, AS OF LATE, CAME TO REALIZE HOW MUCH SHE HAS GROWN AS AN ARTIST; BOTH EMOTIONALLY AND VOCALLY. THAT PREVERBAL “AH-HA” MOMENT, LEAD HER TO REVAMP HER ALBUM “THROUGH THE VALLEY”.
DURING HER JOURNEY, PAIGE MET LEGENDARY ARTIST LINDA PERRY, LEAD SINGER OF “THE FOUR NON-BLONDES”, AT AGE 12 AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP HAS INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED PAIGE STILL TODAY. PERRY WAS A VERY BIG PART IN PAIGE’S LIFE; AS A MENTOR AND FRIEND (WHO REFERS TO PAIGE AS “THE KID”). PERRY HAS WORKED WITH ARTISTS SUCH AS PINK, CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND EVEN WROTE AGUILERA’S HIT SONG, “BEAUTIFUL”. PAIGE HAS ALWAYS STOOD TRUE TO WHO SHE IS AND HER MESSAGE IS WHAT THE MUSIC WORLD, AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL, NEEDS HEAR.
AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FRIEND LIVING IN DALLAS, PAIGE MADE THE DECISION TO COME DOWN TO TEXAS AND PROMOTE HER ALBUM SO SHE SPENT EVERY LAST DIME TO COME TO DALLAS, TEXAS. HER REVAMPED VERSION OF HER ALBUM “THROUGH THE VALLEY” IS MUCH ANTICIPATED AND IS PROJECTED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SELLING POP/INDIE/ROCK ALBUM IN YEARS. HER ALBUM IS HER LIFE JOURNEY. PAIGE’S MESSAGE OF AUTHENTICITY, HER SELF -TAUGHT VOCALS AND GUITAR SKILLS AND HER ABILITY TO TOUCH THE LIVES OF EVERYONE THAT SEES OR HEARS HER MUSIC, IS SOMETHING DEEPER THAN YOUR AVERAGE MUSICIAN. SO MUCH SO, PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME CLASSIFYING HER AS AN ARTIST. SHE IS CREATING AN ENTIRELY NEW GENRE OF MUSIC. “TRANSFORMATIONAL” MUSIC IS WHAT CHRISTY PAIGE IS CREATING AND EVERYTHING SHE IS AND WILL BE CREATING IS ABOUT AUTHENTICITY.
PAIGE IS RELEASING HER DEBUT ALBUM “THROUGH THE VALLEY”, ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015. PAIGE DECIDED AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH ABOUT A REVAMP OF THE ALBUM TO RELEASE IT AS IS AND QUICKLY GET STARTED ON HER SECOND ALBUM WHICH WILL BE AN ACOUSTIC/HIP-HOP/RAP ALBUM AND IS SET TO RELEASE BEGINNING OF 2016.
