Biography

Page Kennedy is a multi-talented Shakespearean trained actor and rapper whose presence in Hollywood is breaking ground with his authentic self-expression tackling grief, trauma, and the human experience, through music. This summer, Page will be seen in the highly anticipated Warner Bros. sequel, "The Meg 2: The Trench" expanding his role of 'DJ' in theaters August 4, 2023. Evolving from "The Meg," 'DJ' has learned how to fight and take action, allowing him a front row seat in catching the elusive prehistoric creature. Parallel to that, he will be releasing his newest album of original music titled "A Book of Pages" (August 4, 2023), where fans can get an expanded look inside his life. The remix for his single "Chomp" off the album is featured in the credits for "The Meg 2: The Trench."

The thespian's career has been steadily on the rise since booking his first ever audition for the CBS comedy "The Kennedys" in 2001 after sneaking on to the studio lot as a mail courier. Since then, he has been seen in some of the biggest television and film productions. Most notably, he's remembered for his roles on HBO's "Six Feet Under" as the catalyst for 'Nate's (Peter Krause) acknowledgement of the afterlife, Showtime's "Weeds" as 'U-Turn' a drug dealer out to get 'Nancy' (Mary-Louise Parker), cult favorite "Blue Mountain State," the NAACP nominated Netflix comedy "The Upshaws" with Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes, and most recently as the ruthless pimp 'Percy' on FX's award winning series "Snowfall." His film credits include Columbia Pictures' "S.W.A.T." with Samuel L. Jackson, Lionsgate feature "In the Mix" with Usher, and "The Meg" (2018).

Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, Page began exploring his musical talents as early as seven years old, influenced by the sounds of Kurtis Blow, The Fat Boys, and Run-DMC. At 10 years old, Page began to record his own music sharing it with family and friends. It wasn't until 2017 when Page reached a point in his professional life where he was able to fully give himself to his first love and passion of rap music on a grand scale. Thanks in part to the continued expansion of self-publishing platforms for independent artists, he began to release one album and one mixtape per year. Listeners are invited inside a raw and unfiltered look at Page's life and point of view, offering a perspective on social consciousness and humanity, with music being his true therapy.

Heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, in both song and stage, Page began studying theater in high school, moving on to Western Michigan University. An outstanding performance at WMU for a graduate school showcase led to a bidding war among 17 graduate theater programs, and he chose the University of Delaware, which gave him an opportunity to concentrate on Shakespeare. Considering himself a lyricist, he was able to blend his passion for the various forms of art and expression professionally when moving to Los Angeles after intensive training in Delaware.

Just like Michael Jackson was to Page, he hopes that his journey in Hollywood inspires the next generation of artists. Page Kennedy is a proud father of four, residing in Los Angeles.
