Kuami Eugene Credits Church for Shaping His Musical Career

Kuami Eugene, the highlife music star, has expressed deep gratitude to the church for playing a pivotal role in his musical journey.

The award-winning musician revealed that he learned the foundations of his craft while growing up in the church, where he was exposed to various musical instruments.

According to Eugene, the church helped nurture his talent and gave him the tools to develop into the artist he is today.

“The church made me; I learned everything I know from the church. From a young age, I knew I would become a great musician, so I made sure to prepare myself for that journey. I worked hard to learn how to play every instrument I could get my hands on,” he shared in an interview.

Eugene went on to explain that no one specifically taught him how to play the piano—he simply picked it up by spending time around the instrument. In addition to the piano, he is skilled in playing the trumpet, drums, and guitar.

To further enhance his stage presence, Eugene also learned how to perform backflips, adding an extra element to his performances.

Reflecting on his music production skills, Eugene revealed that he honed his craft by taking a formal course in music production.

Starting his music career as a gospel artist through the Eugene Marfo Ministries, Kuami Eugene produced several gospel songs before gaining wider recognition after participating in the MTN Hitmaker contest.

Though he no longer identifies solely as a gospel artist, he remains connected to the church and continues to collaborate with gospel musicians. He has written songs for artists like Joyce Blessing, Empress Gifty, and has a collaboration with Obaapa Christy.

Kuami Eugene also occasionally performs gospel songs at churches and religious events, showing his ongoing reverence for his roots in the church.
