“I’m Still a Minister of God” Despite Secular Music Stardom – Kuami Eugene Declares

Kuami Eugene may be a household name in Ghana’s secular music scene, but the award-winning musician insists his spiritual mission is far from over.

In a recent interview with Doreen Avio, the “Angela” hitmaker opened up about his beginnings in church and how that foundation continues to shape his musical identity, even as he thrives in the secular spotlight.

“Sometimes I see a post on social, somebody wants to bring something, Eugene Marfo will just pop up. I’m still a minister of God and the transition started from the church. The church taught me every single thing that I know how to play the piano, guitar and everything. When I was schooling, I was still doing the music while I was playing drums for the church. I was still doing the music thing, but the push wasn’t there like I’m getting now,” he divulged.

Eugene went on to recount a career-defining moment that occurred during a gospel event in the Volta Region. Invited by a friend working as a pupil teacher, the trip would unexpectedly become his first paid performance.

“She was a pupil teacher and she invited me there for like a three-day convention with her church. I was Minister Eugene Marfo then. That was actually where I had my first pay, so shout out to that female friend of mine,” he recalled.

The experience marked the beginning of a new chapter. Soon after, Eugene joined the MTN Hitmaker competition, placing as second runner-up before securing a record deal with Lynx Entertainment, a major turning point in his rise to stardom.

Even as his music career takes him further from the pulpit, Kuami Eugene remains rooted in gratitude. He attributes much of his journey to divine guidance, family support, and the mentorship of figures like Richie Mensah and Eric Goka.
