Early Life
Raised in a Christian family, as a child Woody Rock (né James Green) was reportedly only allowed to listen to gospel music. He met future Dru Hill bandmate Mark "Sisqó" Andrews in middle school, and in 1992, he, Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin, Sisqo & two original members Bravette Fleet & Chris Thomas founded the group and began performing around the Baltimore area.. Originally a gospel group 14K Harmony. They changed their name to Legacy & switched to R&B which prompted Woody's mother to pull him out of the group. She ultimately allowed him to return to the group as a promise that he will return to his gospel roots. Fleet & Thomas dropped out the group by 1994 after Woody's return & fellow Baltimore native Larry "Jazz" Anthony & studied as an opera student at Frederick Douglass High School joined the group.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
