Eugene said his love of music started while he was in the Emmanuel Full Gospel Church.
“I started singing there in Sunday School around 2007. Later I was promoted to lead in the youth choir, youth services and youth camps. I started singing and performing professionally in 2010. This comes after I was discovered by the late producer, Dennis Bothma, who recorded my first album. I was also motivated to start composing my own inspiring songs. Due to financial problems, I could not manage to proceed with my musical journey. I decided to focus on my academic studies instead. I completed college in May 2022. Then God gave me strength and courage to record my first EP with two songs, “Uyapholisa” and “Hlala Kuye”. Both were composed by me and I was inspired by God’s presence to write them.”

Eugene said he has worked with artists such as Mthobisi Ntshangase, the founder and producer of Music Is Life Studios, the hitmaker of “Kanti yini lengayithola”, Buhle Nhlangulela and Muzi B.
As a way to grow his brand, this artist has done various projects. “I perform at events and I have started making T-shirts with my own brand. I thank God for the gift and I pray for inspiration from Him for more songs.”
All his music is available in all digital stores.
