Musical artist

Jennifer Paige Scoggins (born September 3, 1973) is an American singer. She is best known for her international number-one pop hit "Crush".

Career

Jennifer Paige

Jennifer's career as a Billboard 100 pop singer began with her first single, "Crush". The song, written by Andy Goldmark, Mark Mueller and Cosgrove & Clark was initially played by KIIS-FM in Los Angeles in April 1998 and went on to be the most-requested song on the radio station that summer. It became a number 3 Billboard chart hit in the U.S., logged 17 weeks in Billboard magazine's Top 10. "Crush" also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in the United Kingdom.

Her debut album, Jennifer Paige, was released in August 1998, and consisted of guitar-driven mid-tempo songs. Critics took notice of her voice. "Crush" was followed by two other singles, "Sober" and "Always You", the latter reaching #6 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

In the summer of 2000, Paige recorded a new song for the soundtrack of the film Autumn in New York, called "Beautiful".

Positively Somewhere and Flowers: The Jennifer Paige Hits Collection

Paige toured the world, sang at the Vatican (though Pope John Paul II was not present), and performed at the World Music Awards. Her second album, Positively Somewhere, was anchored by the single "These Days", and was released in September 2001 in United States. The European release launched a modest hit, "Stranded". Positively Somewhere cracked the Top 10 in Japan and both singles became radio hits across Asia.

In October 2003, Paige confirmed she was no longer with either Hollywood Records or Edel Records. Edel released Flowers: The Jennifer Paige Hits Collection as a result of her parting ways with the label. Paige continued writing for other artists, and compiling songs for a new studio effort.

Later works

In April 2006, "The Calling", was chosen by Lifetime Television for their made-for-TV movie, Augusta, Gone, based on the book of the same name. The song was written by Paige and co-writer/producer Chris Landon of Loudnoize Entertainment.

In 2015, she released Is It Ever Enough on her YouTube channel. In the same time, she launched a fundraising campaign to produce her upcoming album Starflower through Kickstarter. In December 2016, her song Let Me Love You, was included in the compilation Nashville Indie Spotlight 2017. The album was released on March 31, 2017, while the lead single The Devil's in the Details was released on February 17, 2017.

Influences

Paige has said that she has been influenced by singers such as Annie Lennox, Mariah Carey, Sade, George Michael and Etta James.
