FLAME is a Christian Hip-Hop recording artist with Clear Sight Music. He has released four albums including: self-titled FLAME, Rewind, Our World Fallen, and Our World Redeemed. His fourth album, Our World Redeemed, was nominated for a Grammy Award. FLAME has also been nominated for Dove and Stellar awards throughout his music career.
FLAME, aka Marcus Gray, graduated with his Bachelor’s degree from Boyce College, a school of Southern Seminary. He has a passion for biblical counseling and applied theology. He enjoys giving counsel to hurting people and providing them with hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ. FLAME is currently working on his Master’s degree in Biblical Counseling at Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. He is married to his best friend Crystal Gray and attends Immanuel Baptist Church (ibclouisville.org).
To be born and raised in the inner city of St. Louis, immersed in a dominant hip hop culture, and heavily influenced by the ills of our society, the chances are considered bleak for one to become a successful byproduct of their grimy community. The childhood stories of many young men begin as such and rarely progress towards a sold out lifestyle for Christ. For FLAME, he was headed in the wrong direction until a near fatal car accident and the passing of his grandmother would serve as a rude awakening that took root in shaping his future. His grandmother was the strongest and most influential Christian example in his life. Immediately after her death and the tragic incident, FLAME received Christ at the age of 16.
During his personal time, FLAME initially wrote raps as devotionals to the Lord. After converting his devotionals to songs, Cross Movement Records took an interest in supporting FLAME’s passion to share the strong messages of the Gospel through rap music. In 2004, FLAME released his debut album with Cross Movement Records. Since then, FLAME released 3 more albums and launched his own record label, Clear Sight Music.
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 along 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.
