Watching KiDi on Hitmaker Inspired My Journey:Kuami Eugene

Award-winning Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has revealed that watching fellow artist KiDi compete on the reality music show Hitmaker inspired him to pursue a music career and eventually audition for the competition.

In an interview with Headless YouTuber, Kuami Eugene shared that his journey began after he met Richie Mensah, CEO of Lynx Entertainment, while assisting fellow Hitmaker contestant Gunshot with music recordings since Richie was Gunshot’s producer, the two crossed paths in the studio.

Kuami recalled that Richie noticed his musical talent after hearing him contribute ideas during recording sessions. When Richie asked why he had not entered Hitmaker, Kuami explained that he was still preparing and hoped to audition the following year.

During that period, Kuami closely followed KiDi’s performances on Hitmaker. He remembered seeing KiDi perform with confidence and believing he would eventually win the competition. Inspired by what he witnessed, Kuami promised himself that he would also perform on that same stage one day.

According to Kuami Eugene, KiDi stood out because of his strong support system and industry exposure through Lynx Entertainment. He believed those advantages gave KiDi an edge over the other contestants, who largely competed without similar backing.

When Kuami eventually auditioned for Hitmaker the following year, Richie Mensah recognised him from their earlier meeting and recommended him to renowned producer Kaywa. That opportunity became an important step in launching Kuami Eugene’s successful music career.
