Blue Flamez was born and raised on the Warm Springs Nation located in central Oregon. It was during his formative years that he developed a passion for rhyme and beats. With the tragic passing of his older brother during Scott’s childhood a healing ceremony took place where he derived the name Blue Flamez for his musical project. With that, a career sparked which led Blue Flamez to winning the 2016 Native American Music Award (NAMA) for best music video – Rez Life! Despite his success as a burgeoning hip hop artist Blue Flamez decided to stay on his home turf of the Warm Springs Nation. It has been his passion for helping others, inspiring resilience, and empowerment which fuels the blue flames in Scott Kalama’s heart.
