I want to Reach Shatta Wale’s Level of Relevance in Future: Kuami Eugene Opens Up

Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has expressed his ambition to reach a stage in his career where he can maintain public relevance without the constant release of new music, citing dancehall star Shatta Wale as an example.

The award-winning singer, popularly known for his hit song Angela, disclosed that his priorities are gradually shifting from consistently producing hit songs to building a lasting legacy in the entertainment industry.

According to Kuami Eugene, he admires the level of influence Shatta Wale has established, which allows him to remain a major talking point in the music industry even during periods when he is not releasing new songs. He hopes to achieve a similar position as his career continues to develop.

The musician explained that financial gain is no longer his primary motivation, suggesting that his achievements over the years have provided him with greater financial stability. He attributed this position to earnings from music royalties, publishing rights and investments.

Kuami Eugene’s comments indicate a changing perspective on his professional ambitions, with greater attention now being given to long-term relevance, financial independence and the preservation of his musical legacy.

Since gaining prominence in Ghana’s music industry, the singer has established himself as one of the country’s recognised contemporary musicians through hit records, award-winning performances and collaborations with other artistes.

His remarks also draw attention to the importance of intellectual property ownership and investment in creating sustainable careers within the entertainment industry. For musicians, income generated from royalties and publishing rights can provide financial support beyond the active promotion and release of new songs.

The singer’s aspiration reflects a desire to build a career that extends beyond chart success and frequent musical releases. By focusing on influence, financial stability and legacy, Kuami Eugene hopes to establish himself among artistes whose names continue to command attention regardless of their release schedules.

His reference to Shatta Wale underscores the level of industry recognition and public influence he hopes to attain as he works towards the next phase of his musical career.
