Edit Profile
Career
Woods sang in a cover band called Fire & Ice while a high schooler, and toured regionally both as a solo artist and with the band. He toured with Vesta but had little success until he met with Gerald Baillergeau and Victor Merrit, the producers who heard his demo and sent it to Radio Corporation of America Records. Radio Corporation of America signed him and released his eponymous debut album in 1997, which went on to sell over half a million copies in the United States., mainly on the strength of the single "I Belong to You (Every Time I See Your Face)", which peaked at #6 in the United States. He had two Top 40 hits from the album.
Instead, he signed a distribution deal with Ground Level for his own label follow-up - Rome2000: Thank You, but the material recorded while under contract to Radio Corporation of America has never been released.
In 2001 he returned with two albums: To The Highest and To Infinity (Thank You). The last one is just an alternative edition of Rome2000: Thank You.
Do lieutenant followed in 2003, and three years later Sony issued Rome"s Best Of, which has only 10 songs from his 1997 debut.
