Kuami Eugene has expressed his gratitude to the church for playing a pivotal role in his growth as an artist. According to the highlife musician, he developed his musical talent by learning how to play various instruments while growing up in church.
“The church made me. I learned everything I know from the church. When I was young, I knew I would become a great musician, so I told myself I should prepare well before reaching the top. I prepared a lot, so I could play every musical instrument I laid my hands on. No one taught me how to play the piano; I just started playing because I had been around it for a long time,” he shared with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z.
Kuami added that in addition to the piano, he also plays the trumpet, drums, and guitar.
To enhance his performance, Kuami mentioned that he learned how to do a backflip.
The ‘Angela’ hitmaker also discussed how he has honed his skills in music production, mentioning that he took a course in the field.
Kuami Eugene began his music career as a gospel artist through the Eugene Marfo Ministries. He produced a few gospel songs before gaining widespread recognition after his big break in the MTN Hitmaker contest.
Although he no longer identifies as a gospel artist, Kuami still maintains a strong connection to the church and collaborates with several gospel musicians. He has written songs for artists like Joyce Blessing, Empress Gifty, and has a song with Obaapa Christy.
In addition, Kuami frequently performs gospel songs at church events and services.
