Kuame Eugene has given a background details on how he obtained his signature tagline, ‘Rockstar’ during a high-profile interview with Pan Africa Music (PAM).
“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 ” he stated.
He explained that;
“It’s not the rockstar that comes with a guitar, tattoos, and ripped jeans… 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.”
The A-list star further spoke about his rise to fame stating that; “I’ve always had it in me. Everywhere I would go, I would pick up the microphone and sing 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.”
Kuami disclosed again that; “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 me from listening to Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Samini, Davido, and Wizkid.”
