Dallas, TX, USA

The Kid Flames is a creative, music producer, Hip-Hop head, label founder, geek, and one-half of the Dallas-based musical faction, The Illusionists. Known for their dark, melodic creations, and a cinematic approach to projects, their high-concept albums, Masks & Façades (2007) and Transposition Theory (2014), follow the journey of a wide-eyed, but enigmatic and jaded, illusionist on a journey of self-discovery, with their latest body of work Astral Infinite (2020) exploring the ills of society through the lens of the unknown. While making a decisive departure from the duo’s core sound, the producer’s solo catalog maintains elements of the dark, ambient signature for which fans know them. His production influences are a who’s who of Hip-Hop’s golden age, including but not limited to DJ Premier, J Dilla, Erick Sermon, Nottz, Bink!, DJ Uneek, Timbaland, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Kanye West, Hi-Tek, Buckwild, 9th Wonder, The Bomb Squad, Pete Rock, The Ummah, Madlib, Battlecat, S1 and more.
