In 2009, Page won David Foster's Foster & Friends Competition {{cite web|url=https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xf0u4y |title=David Foster talks about young tenor Josh Page |date=October 2010 |publisher=dailymotion }} singing "Because we Believe". In 2011, Page was called onto the stage at a Josh Groban concert at Madison Square Garden, and sang "The Prayer" with Groban. A YouTube video of that performance has since garnered over 10 million views.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-t4POnosio|title=A young man in the audience sings with Josh Groban & shocks him!|date=November 24, 2011 |publisher=YouTube }}{{cite web|url=https://www.inspiremore.com/josh-groban-fan-prayer/|title=Josh Groban Pulls Hopeful Singer Up On Stage — Blows Everyone Away With "The Prayer."|date=December 29, 2017|publisher=InspireMore}}{{cite web|url=https://countryrebel.com/blogs/videos/69534915-josh-groban-meets-a-man-from-the-audience-and-he-sounds-just-like-him/|title=JOSH GROBAN MEETS A MAN FROM THE AUDIENCE…AND HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIM!|date=October 8, 2015 |publisher=Country Rebel}}{{cite web|url=https://seeitlive.co/josh-groban-josh-page-powerful-voice/|title=Josh Groban Blown Away By Fan's Powerful Voice|date=May 28, 2019|publisher=See it Live}}
Page contacted Fernando Varela via YouTube,{{cite news|last=Freeman|first=Michael W.|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2014/01/17/americas-got-talent-star-coming-home-to-trinity-prep/|title=America's Got Talent star coming home to Trinity Prep|work=Orlando Sentinel|date=January 17, 2014|access-date=May 1, 2015|postscript=. Varela initially rejected the idea of trying out for America's Got Talent since he had already auditioned for the show three times without success. Page suggested that he reconsider and, ultimately, Varela changed his mind.}} and the two found a third member to form Forte. The group then auditioned for season eight of America's Got Talent, where they advanced to the finals and finished in fourth place.
Soon after their appearances, Forte released a self-titled album on the Columbia Records label. Page said, "part of my vision for Forte is people from different cultures creating a harmony together, one sound. We've had 16- to 18-year-old kids come up to us on the street and say 'Would never have listened to music like this before, but we just love your voices and the sound.{{'"}}{{cite web|url=https://www.lohud.com/story/news/2013/12/19/rising-opera-star-josh-page-montebello/4125781/ |title=Rising opera star: Josh Page, Montebello |publisher=lohud}}
