Rob Paige has been involved with music since he was 12 years old. Rob's first big break was with EMPYRE touring worlwide with such artists as Cinderella, Blue Oyster Cult & Zebra. In the early nineties Rob became disenchanted with the world of mainstream music eventually turning the direction of his talents to Christ. Cheryl Paige was also a mainstream artist making a name for herself in NYC, signing with Atlantic Records and performing for national radio & TV advertisements. After meeting Phil Keaggy she too became drawn to writing Christian music. Rob and Cheryl had worked together on various projects including Sevenfold but now had mutually found a new calling and decided to form Carlton
Paige. With their exceptional talents and hearts for Christ they released their debut CD, Freedom Road. Carlton & Paige began to receive positive attention from Cross Rhythms and Heaven's Metal Magazine among others reinforcing their commitment to music ministry. Their sophomore release, Unshackled is creating quite a buzz in the indie scene receiving national airplay, earning praise from such Metal legends as Dale Thompson of Bride. Carlton & Paige are focused and determined to share God's message, bringing understanding and faith through their talents.
