FLAME was born Marcus Gray and raised in the inner city streets of St. Louis, Mo. Now a leader in reforming the culture that he too was engulfed in, the foundation of FLAME’s ministry is to reach those same streets with his soapbox messages to lead his listeners to Christ. As his platform continues to garner the support of many others on the way, FLAME now reigns amongst the forefront runners in the Christian Rap industry known to challenge and encourage its audience with an unwavering clear presentation of the Gospel.

Since the debut of his self-titled album in 2004, FLAME has released three albums, garnered nominations from the Dove, Stellar, and GRAMMY Awards and was honored by the Holy Hip Hop Association for his invaluable service, sacrifice, labor and contributions to the music industry. He was featured in Gospel Today, CCM, and Saved Magazine, appeared on INSP’s “Mixx Master’s Lounge,” TV One’s “Gospel of Music with Jeff Majors,” and a host of other national media outlets
