Kuami Eugene, a multi-award-winning singer-songwriter for Ghanaian Highlife and Afrobeats, has opened out on how he views success in the entertainment industry.
For the "Monica" hitmaker, accolades are more than just material recognition; they serve as evocative markers of accomplishment and validation of artistic brilliance.
To him, these accolades represent the commitment, imagination, and labor put into the craft rather than just being a means of gathering medals. Kuami added that recognition elevates performers to a particular plane, keeps them there, and inspires them to pursue new endeavors.
This claim was made by the 2020 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) "Artiste Of The Year," who was speaking with Prudent one-on-one on DGN TV.
That's precisely what comes with winning an award: prestige. It elevates you to a certain level and allows you to engage in meaningful conversation since you have an award to show that you are the greatest.
That's the function of an award. In addition, he explained, "It's a monument you can put in your home and look at and feel overwhelmed that okay, I've done a lot and there's still a lot to be done."
