Flame’s career took him to the West Coast, where he resided in Los Angeles from 2010 to 2020. This period coincided with formal recognition for his talent. He was awarded first place for Best Hip-Hop Instrumental Album at the California-based Akademia Music Awards (2015), as well as Best Hip-Hop Instrumental EP at the Chicago X-Poze-Ing Music Awards.

Perhaps most notably, he was featured alongside industry heavyweights DJ Khaled and Skrillex in Beats Magazine (Issue #13 in 2013, now defunct).
