Early life
Page was born to a Jewish family in Scarborough, Ontario. After skipping first grade, he was enrolled in Scarborough's gifted program at Churchill Heights Public School[1]. During childhood, Page had his best friend "stolen" by a schoolmate, Ed Robertson, and resented him for some time. The two went to high school at Woburn Collegiate Institute but steered clear of each other until Page spotted Robertson at a Harvey's restaurant after a Peter Gabriel concert and was surprised to find that Robertson was also a fan. This ultimately led to them talking, becoming friends, and ultimately, forming BNL.[2]. They were both counselors at the Scarborough Schools Music Camp in the summer of 1988, where some of their early collaborations in music were born. Page wrote songs with his friend Geoff Pounsett and made tapes of those songs; Robertson had obtained a tape the two had made, and knew some of Page's songs[1]. Page was flattered by this and the two eventually became good friends. The word Jew ( Hebrew: יהודי) is used in a wide number of ways, but generally refers to a follower of the Jewish faith, a child of a Jewish mother, or someone of Jewish descent with a connection to Jewish culture or ethnicity and often a combination...

Barenaked Ladies career Robertson invited Page to perform with him at a charity show under the name Barenaked Ladies in 1988, and ultimately the show led the pair to full time careers in the band. Page attended York University in the English program, but dropped out to focus on the band's rising success. York University, located in Toronto, Ontario, is Canadas third-largest university. ...
Page has been the band's main lead singer since the beginning, though he has always shared some of the lead vocal duty with Robertson. Early songs principally featured Page's vocals, but as the band's career has progressed, Robertson has been featured on more tracks as a vocalist (as well as other band members). He has played acoustic and electric guitar (and on one song, flute) for the band. Most of the time, he plays rhythm parts on songs he wrote, allowing Robertson to play more of a lead guitar role; but occasionally, he plays a lead guitar role to Robertson's rhythm guitar. Page assumes guitarist duties on tracks he is not singing on. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Partnership with Stephen Duffy Page was a fan of songwriter Stephen Duffy, and began corresponding with him after Duffy replied to a fan letter. Page was ultimately invited to co-write with Duffy, and several co-written songs subsequently appeared on BNL albums, starting with Maybe You Should Drive. With the aforementioned shift to a stronger intra-band writing process, Page/Duffy material found itself without a forum. Stephen Anthony James Duffy (born May 30, 1960 in Birmingham, West Midlands, England) is a British songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist. ...

In June 2005, Page released his first "solo" album, of which all but one song were Page/Duffy co-writes (the other was written by Page alone). The duo's collaborative project is called The Vanity Project, which is also the title of the album. Page has implied in interviews that the project is his alone, and that it is a forum for him to collaborate with writers/artists outside BNL. He suggested that future albums might not involve Duffy, but could feature other collaborations. Currently, there does not seem to be any active plan for a follow-up album. The Vanity Project is a collaboration between Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies and Stephen Duffy. ...
