Emerging from California's Bay Area, rapper and producer Sage the Gemini (born Dominic Wynn Woods) has scored viral hits with several catchy, lighthearted party singles, but a deeper dive into his catalog reveals him to be a dexterous rapper with a hardened, determined flow. He broke through with the 2013 U.S. Top 40 hit "Gas Pedal," featuring fellow HBK Gang member Iamsu!, and the track landed on his 2014 debut full-length, Remember Me. 2016's candy-themed "Now and Later" became an even bigger international hit after it was featured in promotion as a Snapchat filter. Sage furthered his pop appeal through collaborations with Nick Jonas, Flo Rida, and Chris Brown (including 2021's "Baby"). The San Francisco native was born in 1992, and he began making rap songs as a teenager. He first received notice for "You Should Know," a track he uploaded to his MySpace page in 2008. He soon joined the HBK Gang along with his close friend Iamsu!. Sage's breakthrough came with "Gas Pedal," which combined Sage's restrained delivery with an infectious Ying Yang Twins hyphy-type hook. The audio was uploaded to video-sharing sites in 2012; even without the video, "Gas Pedal" ended the year with over three million views online, and an official video landed in 2013. Another Billboard-charting track, "Red Nose," appeared the same year, and both were included on the Gas Pedal EP. Sage's debut album, Remember Me, followed in 2014 with guest shots from Iamsu!, Kool John, and others. He followed with a series of singles, including "Guantanamera" with Trey Songz and "Good Thing" with Nick Jonas. His 2016 hit single "Now and Later" reached the Top 20 in the U.K., went gold in the U.S., and was certified platinum in Canada and Australia. The single landed on his 2017 mixtape Morse Code. In 2018, Sage issued a string of singles including "Pull Over" with Trina, "No Ex's" with 03 Greedo, and "Buss It" with Chris Brown. He appeared on Brown's 2019 album Indigo, and was featured on Flo Rida's single "Snack," along with Bay Area legend E-40. Sage collaborated with Brown once again on 2021's "Baby," then offered up the solo track "Cereal Milk." Sage's first song of 2022 was "Numero Uno."
