Emerging from California's Bay Area, rapper and producer Sage the Gemini 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")
Sage's debut album, Remember Me, released 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."
