He grew up in Zimbabwe

Page was born in 1990 to a Zimbabwean nurse and an English preacher. When he was 14, he and his family moved to London. Growing up in different cultures has had a tremendous impact on his idea of home to date. “Home is very much wherever it is that your people are and where you fit in,” he told Interview magazine. What’s more, growing up biracial made him feel like a “walking political statement.” He told The Guardian that being a mixed-race child in Zimbabwe at a time it had just gained independence from British colonialism “means that you have to think about crafting your own identity and you question why you belong in that world.”
