ARTIST BIO: Paige Menneci is a Brooklyn-based pop-rock artist. Inspired by artists like Avril Lavigne, Sara Bareilles and Olivia Rodrigo, Paige writes rock music for: the girls, recovering theatre kids, and people who were listening to All American Rejects while begging their parents for more Webkinz during the 2008 recession. Her music is melodic and energetic, blending the attidtude of 2000s punk with the clever lyricism of a singer-songwriter. Paired with her bright personality, even her breakup songs leave you wanting to dance. As a self-produced indie artist, she is just as comfortable on stage as behind a mixing board. “Clean Break”, the lead single off her debut album was featured on Spotify playlists like “Punk- Give it to the Girls!” and “Indie Vibes and Anthems.” Her upcoming single “I’m So Cool (It’s Killing Me)” is an ironic exploration of the complicated experience of moving to a big city to pursue your art, and will be released in July 2025.
