James Patrick Page, OBE (born 9 January 1944) is an English guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. He began his career as a studio session guitarist in London and was subsequently a member of The Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968, after which he founded the English rock band Led Zeppelin.

Page is described by Allmusic as "unquestionably one of the all-time most influential, important, and versatile guitarists and songwriters in rock history",[1] and by Rolling Stone as "the pontiff of power riffing & probably the most digitally sampled artist in pop today after James Brown."[2] In 2007, Page was ranked at #4 on Classic Rock Magazine's list of the "100 Wildest Guitar Heroes", and Rolling Stone ranked him number nine in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003.[3] He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as a member of The Yardbirds (1992)[4] and once as a member of Led Zeppelin (1995).
