Singer. Born Thomas Alden Page, he was best known for his single "I'll Be Your Everything" that hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in April of 1990. While a cloakroom attendant at a popular New York nightclub, he was given a chance to have the house disc jockey play his demo tape. The demo tape was so impressive that he was introduced to Sire Records founder Seymour Stein. When he was 18 years old, he was asked to write the theme music for the film "Shag" and later that same year, released his first album which contained such hits as "A Shoulder to Cry On", "Turning Me On", and "A Zillion Kisses". His follow-up album "Paintings in My Mind" would be his most famous as it contained his number one hit song "I'll Be Your Everything", which featured the group New Kids on the Block. He later went on to release numerous other singles, but they weren't as successful as "I'll Be Your Everything. He went to the NYU Stern School of Business to pursue his career as a music executive. After his school tenure, he went to work at Warner Bros./Reprise Records as an A&R executive and vice president of top 40 promotion. During that time, he helped shape the careers of many successful artists, including Michael Buble, Alanis Morissette, Josh Groban, David Foster and Green Day. In 2011, he left Warner Bros./Reprise to join Billboard as associate publisher. The following year he was promoted to publisher. In 2013, he left Billboard to become Pandora's vice president of artist and brand partnerships, where his history as a recording artist helped him play a significant role in the company's recent outreach to the artist and music-business community after years of criticism over its royalty rates. In 2015, he joined Cumulus Media as senior vice president of brand partnerships. He most recently served as vice president of music partnerships at the Village Voice. His life ended tragically in an apparent suicide.
