Born Dominique DeLeon in Washington, DC, Satchel Page spent his childhood developing the introspective wit and vivid storytelling style that would come to characterize his work. His skills developed early, penning songs by the age of 8 and becoming a published poet by the time he was 16. Although known for his lyrical skills, it was Page's singing ability that first earned him note, charting a trajectory that would lead him to meet childhood idols Common and Lauryn Hill while still in high school and inspiring him to pursue his biggest dreams.
