Woodie Smalls is a rapper/hip-hop artist born and raised in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. He recently released his first single "Champion Sound" and his debut album "Soft Parade" was released September 18, 2015.

Born and raised in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium, Woodie Smalls remembers picking up the mic at an early age. In an interview he told that when he was 8 or 9, he and his cousin used to rap all the time. They just put on a random beat and started freestyling over it. He also got a lot of inspiration from his uncle, who used to make music back in the day. He saw what his uncle did and he thought it would be fun to make his own music too.

With the release of his debut single and video for 'Champion Sound’, Woodie Smalls aka Woods immediately made a name for himself. His debut single created a buzz way bigger than the 19-year-old mc could ha've envisioned back when he started recording.

Some of Belgium's biggest radio stations, Studio Brussel and MNM, added the track to their daily rotation and FM Brussels even made it their favorite track of the week. In the Netherlands Woodie was selected as one of the 2015 Encore Freshmen. The freshmen are a small crop of up and coming talented artists handpicked by the people behind one the biggest weekly urban party in Amsterdam.

In 2015, Woodie decided it was time to start working towards his first official release ‘Soft Parade’. "Soft parade is like my own little world I made up. It’s a mix of my imagination and emotions and there’s also some personal stuff on this project. I can’t wait to release it. It just puts a smile on my face knowing that pretty soon people will be able to enjoy my music."
