Biography

Named partially for Richard Page (Pages, Mr. Mister) and Toto’s song “99”…Page 99 was founded to keep the ideals of great West Coast music of the 1970s and 80s alive. Interesting chord progressions, sophisticated melodies, and top-level musicianship are values that should never be lost or diminished. In the style of artists such as Toto, Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, etc. In honor of the greatest era of studio musicianship ever known, we are Page 99. Page 99 has its roots all the way back to the early 1980s when John Nixon decided he knew what he wanted to be “when he grew up”; and that was a music producer. He found his final push when he first heard Toto IV, and watched the Grammys later that year where Toto won multiple awards. He knew for sure at that point, this was the type of music he wanted to make. This led John to a four year learning excursion at the prestigious Berklee College Of Music in Boston, MA. Here he was able to hone his musical and studio skills in an environment where he worked with other like minded musicians from all over the world. It was this experience and education that gave him the tools he needed to create music in a style he wouldn’t really even pursue until the year 2020… John Nixon - Misc. instruments, vocs, arranging, production, mixing.
