We were lucky to catch up with GB Flame recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi GB , thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
The story behind my mission begins and ends with drive. Choosing to wake up everyday and invest in yourself. Putting your last coin behind quality over quantity. Music began as therapy, a free way to express myself. Now my mission is to touch the hearts of others going through the same struggle, and show them life is worth living another day. All the acknowledgment you want will come through your hard work.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Ive been writing music since I was a 7 yrs old. King Que took me to my first studio session in DeBo Brown’s basement at 15yrs old and I been engaged full throttle ever since. The environment was therapeutic, a long awaited escape from my reality. I was recording music, or playing football 24/7. The recording process will always remain golden and therapeutic, others loving the sound made it into a business. My only advice is remain humble and be yourself. life is way to short to sugarcoat or try and please others. Flame Music Group is a label that was created to embrace diversity. Flame Music Group is associated with a collective of talented artist, graphic designers, videographers and social media influencers.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
I went to two different colleges and I was set on getting my degree. The birth of my first son was during my sophomore year. I started focusing on money and not school. Thats when the pain music started, thats when life became real. I was living for somebody else at that point. Thats when I started taking music seriously.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I live by loyalty. everybody around me is hand picked, if I sense somebody isn’t loyal I keep my distance. The industry is not the same way, everyone is driven by money. So you gotta live by contracts and not handshakes. I don’t expect for anybody to be good or loyal. Its some real ones in the business, but we do everything by contract.
