Biographie :

James Patrick Page, dit Jimmy Page, est un guitariste, producteur et compositeur de rock, né le 9 janvier 1944 à Heston dans la banlieue de Londres. Il est le fondateur, leader et compositeur de la majorité du répertoire original du célèbre groupe de rock Led Zeppelin (avec Robert Plant, auteur pour sa part de la majorité des paroles), ainsi que le producteur de leurs albums. Auparavant, dès 1963, il mène une carrière prolifique comme musicien de studio. Sa virtuosité en fait vite un des musiciens les plus demandés lors des séances d'enregistrement des artistes et des groupes phares jusqu'à son arrivée chez les Yardbirds fin 1966. En 1968, il fonde le groupe qui devint une des plus importantes formations de l'histoire du rock en compagnie de Robert Plant, John Paul Jones et John Bonham.

Avec ses amis Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend et Brian May, il est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs guitaristes britanniques et comme l'un des plus influents de l'histoire du rock. En 2005, il est élevé au grade d'Officier de l'Ordre de l'Empire britannique pour son travail caritatif au Brésil. Il reçoit, en 2008, le titre de Docteur honoris causa pour son apport à la musique. En 2011, le magazine américain Rolling Stone le classe troisième derrière Jimi Hendrix (1er) et Eric Clapton (2e) dans le palmarès des 100 meilleurs guitaristes rock de tous les temps. Il est très inspiré par le blues, le folk, la musique indienne et la musique orientale.
