Authenticity is a rarity in today’s music industry. Raw vocal talent
seems to be overshadowed by gimmicks and false personas,
especially within the realm of male R&B. But those days are soon to
change with the arrival of the newest voice on the scene: Authentik.
New Jersey bred, Tim Page, aka, Authentik, is ready to take on the world with music from his
heart and soul. A singer and songwriter, Authentik, like most R&B singers, found his roots singing in
church at the young age of 5, and continued to share his gift with all who would hear it. In high
school, he further pursued his musical experience by joining choirs, studying classical music and
even partaking in musical theater. He was also instrumental in forming a singing group called
“Harmoniously Speaking” which helped lead him to choose a major in Music at the Westminster
Choir College of Rider University in Princeton. There, he not only honed his skills as a singer, but
also began learning the ins and outs of the music business as well as music education.
However, Authentik’s path to stardom was abruptly cut short with the untimely passing of his
father in 2003. Choosing to be a cornerstone for his family, he decided to leave the music
behind and join the corporate world. But this detour didn’t last long as his tenacity for music and
performance never left. Joining up with a few friends, he began work on his first ever mixtape
entitled, Classified. This mix of 90s R&B and hip hop made way for Authentik to began
performing at events all around the New Jersey and Philly areas ultimately leading him in the
graces of such legends like DJ Jazzy Joyce as well as radio play and DJ spins.
With his first offering under his belt, Authentik is now forging ahead for the first time with original
material. Hooking up with the creative collective Reckless Abandon, songwriter and producer Anatural,
and artist, visionary, and Blackstreet member Lenny Harold, Authentik is working hard on
his next offering leading off with his debut single, “On 2 Da Next”. Already catching the ear of
some of today’s biggest stars like Missy Elliott, Keyshia Cole, Raheem Devaughn, Tichina Arnold,
Pamela Long of Total, and Lil’ Mo, he seems to be off to an amazing start! Authentik believes
that truly good music comes from an authentic heart, and he plans to show the world his heart
with each song, video, and performance.
