Though he now headlines major concerts and dominates Ghana’s charts with secular songs, Kuami Eugene says his calling as a minister of God remains unchanged.
During a recent interview with Doreen Avio, the award-winning artiste disclosed that his musical path was forged in the church, where he received both spiritual grounding and technical training. According to him, those early experiences still define his identity.
“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 explained.
Kuami Eugene also recalled a pivotal trip to the Volta Region that helped solidify his career trajectory. Invited to perform at a church convention by a friend who was then a pupil teacher, he says that moment marked his first-ever paid gig.

“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 said.
Shortly after, Eugene’s journey led him to MTN Hitmaker, where he finished as the second runner-up. That exposure caught the attention of Lynx Entertainment, launching him into mainstream stardom.
Despite his success in secular music, Kuami Eugene continues to credit divine intervention, family, and mentors like Richie Mensah and Eric Goka for shaping his career.
