Biography

3) rapper, artist, skateboarder and drummer / hip-hop/rap from San Francisco



1) Case Woodard was born in New York City and was signed to Def Soul records. He first started working in the R&B industry as a backup singer, working with big name R&B artists like Usher.

In 1996, Case released his self-titled debut album. The album featured “Touch Me Tease Me” with rapper Foxy Brown and R&B singer Mary J. Blige, the hit single from “The Nutty Professor”. The single went gold, reaching #4 on the R&B charts and #14 on the Hot 100.

Case’s second album, Personal Conversation, was released in 1999 and went gold. The album featured the hit single “Happily Ever After” which reached #3 on the R&B charts and #15 on the Hot 100. The album’s other single, “Think Of You” failed to do well on the charts, managing to only reach #50 on the R&B charts.

Open Letter, Case’s most well-known album was released in 2001. The album went gold, likely a result of the single “Missing You.” “Missing You” is Case’s only #1 single to date as it topped the R&B charts and reached #4 on the Hot 100.

After the success of “Open Letter”, Case moved to Atlanta to be closer to his children, and has over the last several years proven to be a real survivor. To say his seven years “away” from music have been interesting would be an understatement.

    a really great voice - shame he fell through the cracks a little... back when cross-over hip-hop and r&b was fresh...

    It's not unusual that R&B/hiphop/pop performers recycle names from old punk bands. Bad imagination or bad research I guess.
