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 containing the words early and/or life:
“Mormon colonization south of this point in early times was characterized as “going over the Rim,” and in colloquial usage the same phrase came to connote violent death.”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
