Morgan Page

Morgan Page has certainly come a long way from his native Vermont. Since the release of his third full-length album, In The Air, Page has enjoyed many “firsts.” Not only has In The Air surpassed year-to-date sales of his two previous releases - 2008’s Elevate and 2010’s Believe – the album garnered Page his first #1 hit on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay Chart and his first gold single.

Page began crafting the material that would eventually become the album in early 2010. In between stints on the road, Page assembled an all-star cast of guests to appear on these original tracks. That cast includes Tegan And Sara on "Body Work" and "Video," Jonathan Mendelsohn and Andy Caldwell on "Where Did You Go?" Greg Laswell on "Addicted", and a powerhouse combination of BT, Sultan, and Ned Shepard and Angela McCluskey (Télépopmusik) on the record's first single "In the Air." The lead track rises from an elegantly enticing electro haze into an infectious hook, moving from progressive house into propulsive pop.

Since coming onto the scene by making a name for himself with 2005's collection of bootleg remixes, Cease And Desist, which got the blogosphere buzzing, Morgan's profile has grown steadily over the years. In 2008, he dropped his formal debut Elevate, which spawned one of his biggest hits to date "The Longest Road" featuring songstress, Lissie. The Deadmau5 remix of the track was nominated for a Grammy (Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical) in 2009. His sophomore effort, 2010's Believe, saw him continue to garner even more critical and fan acclaim.

The accolades didn't stop there though. In 2011 his remix of Nadia Ali's "Fantasy" received a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. In the meantime, he also received four International Dance Music Award nominations, including 2012’s “Best American DJ (North America)” alongside Skrillex, Deadmau5 and Kaskade.
