I Don’t Want to Lose to What I Have Here- Kuame Eugene Reveals Local Dominance Matters to Him Very Much

Kuame Eugene believes honing his relevancy in Ghana and continuing to dominate the local scene he has been doing consistently since he burst onto the scene matters to him a lot than going international.

In his words, he wants to be a local champion whose music would continue reveberate everywhere, have all the endorsement deals and monopolize TV & radio then being an international star.

‘There are some endorsement deals in our country. International companies that come to settle in Ghana are gonna ask who is the biggest here.

And I want them to hear Kuami, Kuami! When you come to Ghana, I’m on a billboard, I’m on radio, I’m on TV and it’s because I am what people locally want. I don’t want to leave, go international and lose what I have here. I need to figure out how to combine both and how to gain from both sides,’ he said in a recent interview with Pan African Music (PAM).

The Rockstar as he’s affectionately called also recounted how he got featured on CKay’s Love Nwantiti track which is making giant strides across all digital platforms, especially YouTube.

“So when I first heard the song it was not even that big. CKay was a new artist, I was out there and Joeboy was out there. I initially went to the studio with another artist named Blaqbonez, and he was on the same label as CKay.

I did the feature for Blaqbonez, and CKay was like, ‘I’ve got a song and I’ll be pleased if you’d like to do a verse on it’. It was a nice song, so I did it! We shot the video in Lagos, and a year later, the song is EVERYWHERE in the world, every corner! I told my manager, ‘in this world, you don’t know who is gonna blow.
