Sage the Gemini was born in either Fairfield, California, or San Francisco, California. He started recording at the age of eleven with his brother after he bought a microphone from Gordon's Music and Sound shop in Fairfield, California. The first track he recorded, at 14, was titled "Made In China". Woods took the name Sage the Gemini due to the color of his eyes and his zodiac sign.
In 2008, Sage released his first single, "You Should Know" on MySpace. It became a viral hit, generating over three million views worldwide. He then joined Black Money Music Group. Being close friends with rapper Iamsu!, he also joined The HBK Gang. Sage then released the singles "Red Nose" and "Gas Pedal" in March 2013. These singles immediately became hits and gained substantial airplay, which attracted Republic Records who signed a deal with him in August 2013.
