The first track he recorded, at 14, was titled "Made In China".[7] Woods took the name Sage the Gemini due to the color of his eyes and his zodiac sign.[8][9]

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.[8][9] Sage then released the singles "Red Nose" and "Gas Pedal" in March 2013. These singles immediately became hits and gained a lot of airplay, which attracted Republic Records who signed a deal with him in August 2013.
