Early Days I (Tripp Harvey Page) was born a natural stud on May 14, 1998. The same day Frank Sinatra died. Coincidence? I think not. Sylvie (my mom) always says I smelt like mothballs when I was born - it was my first flaw. She said after she finished holding me she'd smell to death like mothballs, so that's why she didn't hold me often. You'll notice in pictures that I'm never in her arms, but usually on the closet surface like the floor or a bookshelf. My mom told me that my dad died before I was born. I've never told her but in sixth grade I met my dad. He was at my bus stop and was wearing these tan sweats. There was a grease mark near the collars and he smelt a little weird too. He had a Jersey accent. My mom is French and a really proper lady, so I'd always imagined my dad as this silver fox kind of guy. He was disappointing and obviously Sylvie had thought so too, so I never said anything. Sometimes he'll try get in touch. I'm not interested. When I was ten I broke my arm. Sylvie thought I was faking for a couple of days. Healthcare is expensive and honestly, I was a huge faker. Once I shoved my mouth full of hot pop tarts so she'd think I had a fever. Anyway, child services came and that was memorable. I remember thinking she was really pretty but asked too many questions. It made me really uncomfortable and I puked all over the kitchen table. Teen Hood Something I forgot to mention was how obsessed with Hollywood my mom is. The lady is Mariah Carey. She can seriously sing, but she's never made it. Once she auditioned for American Idol and they told her that she didn't have 'it'. It was a defining moment in her life and since then she's been making sure everyone knows I have 'it'. I've been auditioning since I was in diapers. When I was two I was in CSI... apparently I was a nightmare on set and she was so embarrassed of me. TWO. Anyway. As I mentioned, I'm so good at faking and acting is pretty much faking. Which is how I landed Summer Street on Disney. It was about these siblings (me and Jamie Rose) who make a lemonade stand into a multi-million dollar business. It was a really weird show but people loved it enough for it to beat Hannah Montana and have three movies. You can imagine how thrilled Sylvie was. This was her moment, she was finally there. I really hated the Disney set and when it came to schooling I begged to go to an actual school. Don't get me wrong, I had tutors and plenty of help. But 50% of the time I was at school. I liked the structure of it. I liked my friends, I liked how they were normal and treated me so. I was lucky to had access to great teachers. I met Sephy in school too. I'm pretty sure I would have met her regardless, fate wouldn't have it any other way. The school times were special though because it was just for us. Two kids without cameras on them. Early Adult I heard child actors often say that when they hit their twenties they often feel like they're forty. I don't feel that way, but that's probably due to who I am (a faker) and circumstance. When I was eighteen I was let go from Disney because our nude photos leaked. Sephy was horrified but who doesn't take nude photos? Disney PGs so hard and honestly, that isn't reality. Anyway, that was a blessing. Sylvie thought it was the end of the world obviously but for me it was an opportunity. There are two big loves in my life - music and Mexican food. You thought I was going to say Sephy, didn't you? Nah, real authentic Mexican is the shit. The end of Disney let me work on my actual passion. I'm pretty sure everyone thought I was a lunatic until the first Tracker Philosophic album was released. It took us a while to get there.. three years of bullshit soul searching and working seeking out labels that made us feel understood. But in 2018 we happened and we killed it. At first I was apprehensive to accept the success of it. I thought it was Disney boppers buying albums and selling out shows. We had our first show in Detroit and then it was real. There were a few Disney people, but they were trampled by real authentic fans. I'm still high about it. Other than that there isn't much to say yet. Sephy and I are still going strong... sometimes it's hard because we're pretty different. But that's the point of us. We correct and keep each other grounded. We see things that perhaps the other half doesn't see in each other. I'll talk more about this later. "I've known Tripp since we were like ten. We met at this audition for Pop Tarts and they were only looking for one kid. Sylvie says we had such great chemistry that they couldn't choose, so they had us both. We were inseperable till he booked the Disney thing and then it was like we were in seperate worlds. I think Sylvie tried to keep it that way and the only thing Tripp really had was school, which wasn't the one I went to. Then Disney ended and we got in touch. One jam lead to another and suddenly we were in a band. Honestly, what's better than having a band with your best buds? People said it was like shitting where you eat, but it hasn't felt that way yet. Despite being like, way more famous than any of us, Tripp doesn't act that way. He's really down to earth, super chill and fucking funny. Sometimes it can be a little hard for him to focus in on a task. He felt a bit overwhelmed at the end of the album I think. A couple of times he stormed out. Super chill mostly, but there's 5% diva in there. I'm 50% diva though, so can't blame that guy." - Anthony McCrae. "Tripp was a mistake and I've spent his whole life trying to make him right. So much talent, that boy. I've always wanted to go to Hollywood but that chance never came to me like it did for Tripp, it was so natural for him. We worked so hard for him to get where he was, I was disappointed when he let it go. I think if he hadn't been dating his girlfriend, he would have had the time to focus on his career. It's a shame. The music is a fine hobby, but in no way what he was born to do." - Sylvie Page "Honestly? Fuck Tripp Page. Wanna be Disney geek." - megadeaf21 on Reddit
