‘Angela’ Was My Breakthrough- Kuame Eugene Fondly Reveals

Kuame Eugene has fondly recalled that the song ‘Angela’ was the beginning of the ‘Rockstar’ phenomenon in his career as it gave him national recognition and made him a household name.

He revealed this in an interview with Pan Africa Music (PAM) while shedding light on how he came up with his famed moniker and tagline, Rockstar.

He stated, “I think ‘rockstar’ came to me when I released my third song after I was signed to my label. ‘Angela! That song gave me national recognition. I was all over the place, rocking everything (laughs).

My kind of rockstar is about my story. The rocks on one side, because I come from the rocks, I come from hardship. And coming from the rocks, I became a star. That’s what made me the rock star that people talk about.

I’ve always had it in me. Everywhere I would go, I would pick up the microphone and sing, like Chris Brown. I was popular locally before I got signed to a record label. I was even playing shows for money when I was in high school! I just needed an opportunity to bring my music to the public.” 

He then concluded, “I was raised by parents who monitored me on everything. Where I go, what I do, how I talk… I come from really humble beginnings. Yet, they didn’t keep him from listening to Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Samini, Davido, and Wizkid.
