Karl Blanchard, Conguero

Karl grew up with two loving parents who have supported all of his many endeavors. He started as a dancer with Flame, and his amazing rhythm was discovered when Flame recorded their first album. The album producer, David Bourgeois, was blown away by Karl’s musical and dancing ability. In 2011, Karl realized how much he enjoyed playing the conga drums and has been an instrumental part of the band’s percussion section ever since.

When Karl is not busy traveling and performing with Flame, he enjoys many activities in his community. Karl is an active member of his church and a Sunday school teacher. He volunteers in his community and enjoys helping out wherever and whenever he can. He loves bowling, spending time with his friends and talking on the phone.

Karl’s outgoing personality and commitment to the community keep him grounded despite Flame’s growing fame.
